All puppies are sold with LIMITED AKC registration which can be converted to FULL registration once the puppy passes the required health certifications as specified in the written contract.  This is done in order to protect the German Shepherd breed from being plagued with genetic health problems due to poor breeding practices.​

2023 BREEDING SCHEDULE

B2 LITTER - KARMA & HAVOC 
TEN PUPPIES WHELPED ON 03/05/2023 - WE HAVE ONE FEMALE AVAILABLE. 

Dam:  Karma vom Haus Middleton
​
​Karma is a very beautiful, lighter black/tan German Shepherd from both German and Czech working lines. Karma's sire, SG IPO3 Winnetou vom Ritterland, was imported from Germany and was one of the strongest and smartest dogs we have ever owned. Karma's dam, G IPO2 Uma z Holykova, was imported from the the Czech Republic and is a very sweet, yet protective, female. Karma incorporated the best of both parents. She is probably our sweetest girl and does well around other dogs and people. Once she gets to know you, she will want nothing more than your attention and loves to give long-lasting "hugs". She loves to play "keep away" with her kong around the yard, keeping an eye on where her humans are at all times (she's a little bit of a stalker ... with great big ears :-)). Karma has a-normal hips and a-normal elbow stamps, certified out of Germany and is DM Clear. Karma has her AKC certificate and DNA on file.
​
Sire:  Havoc vom Haus Middleton
​
​Havoc is the great-grandson of my now deceased Police K9 partner, Tex vom Erlenbush. Havoc has a pedigree filled with famous dogs, including the 2000 working dog champion, Asko von der Lutter. Havoc has a nice on/off switch and can go from fierce protection dog to sweet, cuddly family pet in the blink of an eye. Havoc has proven himself as an amazing stud dog producing very sound tempered, well structured puppies.  Havoc enjoys playing fetch, chasing passing cars and socializing our puppies. Havoc has a-fast normal hips and 0/1 elbows. Havoc is DM Clear and all puppies should also be DM Clear by parentage. Havoc has his AKC certificate and AKC DNA profile. Havoc is very territorial of his home but is friendly with guests when his parents are home. When we are not present, we know we can count on him to keep our home safe.
​
Puppies in this litter should be stock coat. We have both sables and black/tan puppies in this litter. At maturity, males should weigh approximately 85-95 lbs and females between 70-85 lbs. Puppies should have great temperaments and high trainability. These puppies would do well in club-level protection sports, scent work, competition obedience, SAR or in ACTIVE companion homes.


​CONTACT US FOR PRICING.  Deposit of $500 is required to be placed on the waiting list. Please ask about our discount for Police/Fire First Responders, Veterans and repeat customers. Please contact us for specific litter information.  For more information, please contact me with questions.
 B2 PUPPIES

BELLE - "PINK COLLAR GIRL" - AVAILABLE

$1800

Belle is a higher energy/drive puppy that is confident and independent.  She has excellent focus and can channel that energy well.  She loves her people and affection, but also enjoys exploring, her kong, water and playing with her littermates.  She's been exposed to cats, adult dogs and our free range chickens in the past.  She would make a great family companion and perhaps do well in dog sports.  She's potty-trained, socialized in public settings, been introduced to leash walking and has been taken on multiple car rides. She is exposed to different flooring, noises and environments regularly.

Understanding Hip and Elbow ratings
Since the AKC requires no genetic health testing for hips/elbows, we use the SV model (passing hips required  in Germany since 1966).  Passing hips range from A-Normal to Noch-Zugelassen.  For Elbows, passing ranges from Normal (0/0) to ED Noch-Zugelassen (1/1).  Below are the charts to help explain the ratings.

WAITING LIST HAS STARTED!

Mating confirmed 09/05/2023, puppies expected early November and available to go home in end of December 2023 when they are 8 weeks old.

Dam:  VD Xia Warpeco, ZVV1


Xia is our newest addition that we imported from the Czech Republic in January 2023.  She is a smaller, stockier girl with moderate energy and high drives.  She obtained her ZVV1 Czech working title in protection, obedience and extensive tracking at only 14 months of age.  She is a very fast, athletic girl but not overly pushy or dominant.  She takes easy corrections and gets along with all of our other dogs, including females.  She in not confrontational and enjoys being with her people, chasing the quad and going for swims in the river.  She's a very sweet, loving girl with excellent focus and food drive.  Xia Warpeco has also earned her Czech conformation/show title of VD, the equivalent of Very Good.  She has certified 0/0 hips and elbows and is DM Clear.  Her DNA has also been submitted to the AKC.  This will be Xia's first litter and we are very excited to see what she will bring to our breeding program!


Sire: VD Donar Skocicka samota, ZVV1


Donar is a very dark sable, large boned German Shepherd imported from the Czech Republic. He has been raised around children and has a very nice, sound temperament. He is non-confrontational with other dogs and works with both male and female handlers. Donar has 0/0 hips and elbows certified in the Czech Republic. He is DM Clear and has earned his ZVV1 working title, which includes protection, obedience and tracking. In addition to his working title, Donar also earned a show title of VD, which is "very good". He was breed surveyed in the Czech Republic and earned a KKL1 rating, which means he is "recommended for breeding". Donar is AKC registered and has DNA on file. Donar is a serious dog with excellent structure.


We are extremely excited about this import breeding and can't wait to see what we produce.  Puppies will be DM Clear per parentage. These puppies will make great family companions for ACTIVE households, but should also do well in dog sports and potential for service work. We expect dark/black sables, bi-colors and solid black puppies.  Xia does not carry for long coat so puppies will have short to medium length coats.  


PRICING FOR THIS LITTER WILL BE $2500. Please ask about our discount for active/retired first responders (Police/Fire), veterans and repeat customers. Deposit of $500 is required to be placed on our waiting list. Please contact us for specific litter information.
