Rambo is a solid black (recessive) son of our German import Sylar v d Kinzigau and he brings the strong confident character and clear head of the older German working lines. His mother Sterlyn brings in her sire, the German import Monti v Waldhang and his dam line goes to Disco-Nova to Indeigh v. Spezialblut Susanne's second German Shepherd and a primary foundation line in our program.
Rambo is a happy, athletic, powerhouse of a dog with robust health, a clear and confident temperament, and strong character. He has produced exceptionally well for our program with his daughters, Rainbow, Roseigh, Salleigh, Tango, and Olive carrying his line into the future.
Bubbles is a black factored black and red male out of our family favorite girl, Zap. Through the Zap-Omen-Lucy tail female motherline Bubbles comes from our Gibsy v Wiesenborn foundation line. Like Gibsy herself who lived well into her mid teens this line is known for it's exceptionally healthy and long lived dogs. Through Zap's sire Brego we find such important program dogs as Frisco and his dam Quinta v. Westfork, Susanne's very first GSD.
Bubbles is a calm, confident, and clear headed dog who is a fantastic dog to live with and train. His first litters have been really promising and we are looking forward to many more!
Diamond is a Black and red saddle marked male who takes after his import sire Joker. Diamond is a happy, playful, busy bee of a dog who enjoys toys and all things play. Diamond is a litter brother to Ursus and so is a treasured son of Zap, from her final litter. We are super happy to have two excellent males to continue the Zap bloodline and to bring in a very close line to one of our breed heroes, Karl Fuller of kennel Kirchental. The dogs bred by Herr Fuller are world renown for their strong herding ability, wins in the show ring and on the trial field. Few breeders have contributed as much to the breed. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to add the last of the original breeder's bloodlines to our program.
Iveigh is a beautiful black and red daughter of Andeigh and her tail female line goes along the Andeigh-Quinta-Bette-Amy-Frisco-Quinta v Westfork to Susanne's first GSD.
Iveigh has been a great companion and sport dog, she has multiple V (Excellent) ratings in conformation and she loves disc and coursing. Her progeny have been a delight and her daughter Salleigh is well positioned to represent her bloodline going forward. Iveigh has absolutely correct German Shepherd temperament, being clear, calm, and confident in all situations. She is a great example of the breed.
Norma is a saddle marked sable out of the excellent producing female Babsy v Littlehaus. Through the Babsy-Yoko-May-Eyleen tail female line Norma is another top producing female from the Eyleen (Fero) line. Norma has proven an exceptional producer, her progeny are adored by their families, and her two daughters Tango and Tetra are well positioned to carry her legacy forward in our program. Those who have a Norma kid are fortunate indeed, as her children are beautiful, confident, and devoted German Shepherds of the type we all used to take for granted in the 80s.
Merreigh is the sole descendant of our Luna-T Arrow-May-Eyleen tail female line. Her pedigree features some family favorite males including Sylar Kinzigau and Xano Fitchtenshlag and T Arrow is a littermate to Susanne's beloved Titan. Merreigh herself is one of our team of amazing Kiro v Vierra daughters. Merreigh is a perpetually happy black and red female, a natural athlete, with the clear and confident disposition we love in a GSD. Merreigh loves to run, catch a disc, and she's a Go Anywhere Anytime girl.
Spark is another of our Fantastic Four Kiro daughters. While Spark enjoys many of the traits that make the Kiro kids so popular, a happy and cheerful disposition, a love of toys and fetch, she is at heart a Zap daughter. Like the other Zap kids Spark is a large and powerful female with strong bone and rich red pigment.
While not, yet, a mother Spark loves puppies and has been indispensable as a nanny to everyone else's puppies. She is a great nanny, teaching puppies outstanding social and play skills. We can't wait for Spark to have puppies of her own!
Pixel is a Frankeigh daughter out of our German import Lasha v Eisernen Kreuz OFA. From their dam's modern German working lines the sisters inherited supreme athletic ability, agility, speed, and rapid responses. Pixel is a playful dog who loves any and all types of training and games. Like her sire Rambo she is fast, and regularly clocks in at over 25 mph when coursing.
Pixel is an upper medium size female with very strong bone, a powerful build, and very strong character. As is typical for dogs from the Eisern Kreuz kennel she is a serious dog with serious drives, if we had interest she would excel in bite sports, she has everything she needs. As it is we enjoy coursing and scent work with her and once we have a wait list of sport minded people for her kids we will be excited to see what her kids have to offer too.
Skittle is a little black powerhouse of a dog very similar in type to her sire Rambo. Like her sire Skittle is barely held to the earth, she jumps and runs like she has wings, is always up for a game of fetch, and lives for her squeaky toys. She is a pretty dog with great structure, a classic "high drive" type dog she had to learn an "off switch" but not to be a sweetheart of a dog who loves her people with all her heart.
Like her Eisernen Kreuz motherline she is a serious working dog, she reacts fast, is nimble, and has a naturally flashy heel. While she would be a great bite sport dog Susanne is retired from that now so she is enjoying coursing, disc, and hopefully soon will be giving dock diving, obedience, and nosework a try too.
We won't be breeding Skittle until we have a wait list of sport focused families lined up. So if a sport dog is in your future plans let us know!
Tango von der burg Austerlitz
Tango is a large, powerful, black factored sable daughter of Frankeigh and J'Eyllen. Tango is a delightfully easy dog to live with, even from an early age she was completely responsible loose in the house, house trained super fast, and basically behaved like a mature adult dog from the moment she was born. Tango has been the picture of all the things I loved about my first German Shepherds in the 1990s. She's healthy, eats great, goes everywhere I go, and never needs any help or advanced training to function in the world. She an absolutely dependable companion dog, she gets on great with all our dogs including the littles, and she is a super star mother. While some competition is in Tango's future, there are not titles that can add anything to her absolute quality as a exceptional example of the German Shepherd breed.
Tetra von der burg Austerlitz
Olive is our stunning black sable daughter of Frankeigh x J'Eyllen and we just adore her. Olive is an upper medium sized female, powerfully built with strong bone and rich red pigment. She is of the physical type of her sire Rambo, being compact, super athletic, and agile. Like her sister Tango, Olive is just the easiest kind of German Shepherd, she makes no demands, does everything you need her to do happily, is smart as a whip, and while she loves to train and work she is basically a very easy going dog who's greatest joy is just hanging out with you and doing what you do. Olive is an old stye common sense German Shepherd who is stable, sound, social, and sassy in only the best way.
