Greetings from our dogs!
Kitzi
DJ (Dock Junior), AKC Trick Novice, CGC
SV Hips A Normal, Elbows ED-Normal
Responsive to leading and suggestion, assumes a partnership with owners, strongly attuned to owners’ thoughts, strong self-respect without being spoiled. Usually the spokesperson for reasonable requests from our dogs. Excellent eye contact, strong treat and toy motivation, confident.
Mix of East & West German, primarily working lines, deep bark, powerful. A good nose.
Aurora (Rory)
CGC
Aurora (Rory), as her name suggests, sparkles radiantly.
Rory had a privileged upbringing and has loads of confidence, physical skill, affection and problem solving ability to show for it. She is from Kitzi’s 1st litter. It was all obstacle courses, tricks, training and field trips from early on for this girl.
It’s wonderful to watch her decision making. For example, since she was 6 months old “Officer” Rory has been explaining the importance of manners to puppies and adult dogs in need. She lets things go for a while, and then effectively disciplines badly-behaved dogs of any size. Neutral onlookers tend to smile.
Rory is wonderfully agile and powerful, great with puppies and fearless in new experiences.
With solid physique and temperament, excellent conformation and beautiful color, Rory is gentle, inquisitive and intelligently motivated, but not annoyingly pushy. In physical games she is smart, nimble and extremely fast. Rory is a fierce competitor who engages richly with her people, and thoughtfully responsive to their commands.

Charismatic – people love him on sight, playful, excellent example of prized GSD “aloofness” with strangers, very nurturing with puppies.
Lean but powerful, heavy coated, well-muscled, good bone. Intimidating bark. Desirable melanistic / blanket back.

Genesee – Retired
Hips: SV A, Elbows ED-Normal, DM clear
CGC, AKC Trick Novice
Unusually gentle and loving, uses pass-betweens to break up conflict, tested high as a therapy dog and did well in training. Loves children, and catching and chasing frisbees and balls and sticks. A tug-of-war champ. Always up for a belly rub, and I do mean always!
West German pedigree, strong, agile, loping stride that covers ground. The fastest dog at the park when she feels like it. Beautiful silky coat.

Sweet and yielding to her masters, fiercely loyal, highly confident and alert. Comes to say “hi” to you in the house every so often. A born alpha. Strong handler focus. Great with cats.
West German pedigree, desirable conformation, naturally lean, athletic, explosive speed and power. She’ll about take your arm off in tug of war. Beautiful lush coat.
