OUR CURRENT STUD DOGS

OUR CURRENT LADIES

Chase vom Haus Middleton is Yara's sister, also from our "Y" litter.  Chase is a very social, high energy dog that is full of love and affection.  She loves to chase the quad and is probably the most athletic dog we've ever owned.  She runs like a greyhound and enjoys splashing through the water.  Although we were not originally planning on keeping Chase in our program, after we got to know her confident, loving, sweet nature, we decided that we wanted to add that quality into our breeding lines.  Chase has OFA "EXCELLENT" hips and "Normal" elbows and is DM Clear per parentage.  Chase has also been Embark DNA tested for over 260 illnesses known to have a genetic component.

RETIRED - G Uma z Holykova, IPO2 was one of the most amazing dogs we ever owned.  She was the very first Czech import in our breeding program and produced the most amazing puppies.  She was the dam to our Kenzi and Karma, who did a wonderful job continuing their mother's legacy of great pups.  Uma had a-fast normal hips, a-normal elbows, was DM "Clear" and had obtained her IPO2 working title.  We sure do miss this girl, who passed away as an old lady in her retirement home in August 2022.

RETIRED - Dakota vom Haus Middleton, CGC is a female we kept from our Tex vom Erlenbusch (Sch1, Police Dog) and Bixa vom Haus Tyson.  This was a wonderful mixture of both Working and Show lines.  Dakota was a wonderful dog but due to needing c-sections, we decided to spay her and make her a pet.  Dakota lived a wonderful life in a pet home until her passing as an old lady in 2021.

RETIRED - Rayne z Diehlmov, CGC is solid black working line German Shepherd Dog from Czech and German lines.  She has OFA Good hips and Normal Elbows and is DM Clear.  Rayne has great prey and food drive and loves to chase the ball.  She's produced wonderful dogs for us, including our very own Chaos vom Haus Middleton.  Rayne was an amazing mama and, after retirement, moved to a family home where she got to help raise her human babies.  Rayne passed away New Year's Day in January 2023, at 13 1/2 years of age.  We miss you Rayne Girl. 

RETIRED - SG Meggy von der Fangschleuse, IPO1 is a Show Line German Shepherd imported from West Germany.  Meggy had amazing hunt drive and a great nose.  Meggy had a-normal hips and elbows and was DM Clear.  Meggy produced some wonderful babies, including our very own Maggie Mae vom Haus Middleton.  Meggy retired and moved to Virginia with her new family and her sister (from another mister), Dakota vom Haus Middleton.  They later returned to California when their human dad retired from the Navy.  Meggy lived a wonderful life until her passing in 2020.

RETIRED - SG Winnetou vom Ritterland, IPO3 is a working-line German Shepherd Dog imported from West Germany.  He was an incredibly strong-willed dog with intense power.  Winnetou, call name "Vinny", had a-normal hips and elbows and was DM Clear.  Vinny excelled at everything he did and even his IPO3 scores were so high that he could have competed regionally or even nationally.  He was very sweet, but also our most "hard" dog.  Due to him not doing well with our other male dogs, we ended up selling Vinny to a breeding program based out of North Dakota, where he sired more litters.  Vinny sired our beautiful girls, Kenzi and Karma.

Graceful Madelyn vom Haus Middleton (Call name Maddie/Madelyn) was whelped in our G2 litter (DOB: 01/27/24) with Maggie Mae vom Haus Middleton and Polish Import stud dog Arrko Robixson, BH, IPG1, CGC.  Maddie is a long coated German Shepherd that comes from West German and Polish import lines with several generations of certified hips and temperament testing.  Maddie is 25% working lines and her great, great, grandfather is our Tex vom Erlenbusch, AD, BH, Sch1, Police dog.  Maddie's preliminary OFA x-rays were rated as "Good" hips and "normal" elbows via the OFA.  She is also DM Clear and has been Embark DNA tested for over 270 illnesses with a known genetic component.   Graceful Madelyn vom Haus Middleton will be added to our breeding program in 2026, after she's cleared all of her final health certifications.
