How Many GSDs/Dogs Do You Have - Page 3

Ike: working line bi-color male. 9 months. Training in Schutzhund. He is a pretty good dog. No rush with this one. No plan for anything this year and probably not even next.  He'll let me know when he is ready ... :)

Dottie: mystery mutt rescue (corgi x jack russell?). Training in agility. Aiming for some beginner agility events like jumpers and tunnelers this fall. I think she'll do well in agility. Her nerve is not the greatest but she is FAST!

Ob: mystery mutt rescue (GSD x Black Lab?). House dog extraordinaire!!!

Once Ike and Dottie are 2-3 yrs into their training and actively competing, I would like to get another dog but I've not decided what breed or even for what sport. Depends on what I will end up liking more: SchH or agility ... it could be another GSD, a malinois, a border collie, or a JRT! 

Here's Farvo. Sorry about the fluff on his withers but he just got a bath and it wouldn't stay flat

I have 5 total all West German Show lines, Blessed to have them in my life.

Manny- 8 years neutered 1st one I bought after I got married he is the main man of the house and my husbands fav.

Zarby-5 years(greatest dog EVER) my Fav. she has her CGC,Delta Society, BH,AD,SG1 rated(thank you Jef Lund for breeding the BEST dog ever.)

Fedo-7 years old my stud dog. He is V rated and has his SCH2 (thank you Carlos and Robin for letting me have him) He is GREAT dog,love him.

Sookie-she is my Yash/Zarby puppy- she is P1 rated from S.S. 2009 in Chicago (blew her knee out so she is spayed and a 70lb lap dog).

Damascus-"D" he is 7 months old my Fedo/Zarby boy, I haven't done anything with him yet, but I will.

Farvos Mom, Akeelah is beautiful. Is she from German lines?

I have 2 Jack Russells Terriers right now -- 6 and 2 yrs old--Flint and Ruffian. Flint has cataracts in both eyes and terrible allergies, Ruffian is a healthy crazy girl. In addition to the JRTs, I have a few GSDs. :)

Nike-- Ike vom Del U Haus, KK2, Sch2 -- got her at 20 months, no training, put the 1 and 2 on her and the breed survey. She had several very nice litters for me and has 10 of her puppies working/training in SAR, as well as doing other activities. She will be 12 years old next month and is going strong.

Danca, Sch1 -- retired breeding female, turning 8 this summer. I imported her at age 5 and she's had some nice litters for me. She's looking for a great retirement home (she doesn't get on well with Hunter or Jubilee), but until then, she's safe and happy here--I just can't give her the time and attention she would like.

Coal, BH -- Coal was born in 2002, just when I burned out on doing schutzhund... and training/competing of all sorts. So, with him I dabbled in schutzhund and agility, but I never got it together enough to do much more than dabble with him. He loved the bitework and is pretty much ready for his Sch1 in bitework and obedience, but not in tracking. I've retired him so I can spend time with my younger dogs. And he's actually pretty happy being a retired house dog, ruling the house.

Hunter -- Nike daughter out of 2x Universal Sieger Alex v Eisenhaus -- training in herding and tracking. She has an AHBA herding title, and is currently mom to a litter of 2-week old pups out of a VA showline male--this is a working x show cross litter--the first time I've done such a breeding. After mom duties are done, I want to get a BH with Hunter and maybe do some tracking titles with her. I want to take her back for more herding work, too.


Jubilee, 2 yrs old,  herding and schutzhund--a very drivy herding dog. I am planning on getting her BH and Junior Herding Dog titles this fall. We'll see how dedicated I am. :)

Lynx (Coal x Danca) -- 18 months--agility and schutzhund -- I've had so much fun training this guy, but I'm not sure I have the time to give him.

Musket and Macha--2 puppies from my last litter that I've held onto to grow them out or until the just-right working home comes along. I've had a couple of experienced dog friends fostering these guys separately, to make sure they get enough socialization and grow up independent of each other.

And because that wasn't enough, I have just imported a 100% DDR female, V Xita v Ludwigseck, KK1a, SchH1--she is pregnant by V Laruh v Grafental, KK1a, SchH3 -- puppies due in July.



It's a lot of dogs--but I live on 8+ acres and work from home, so I spend a lot of time with them.

BlachthornGSD,
Your dogs are very beautiful as well. Akeelah has very high drives, and she knows how to turn it on and off. We plan breeding her with our stud Farvo in the future. We are very exited for the litter. Both will probibly get their SchH1 in the fall, our trainer REALLY likes Akeelah and Farvo he might get a pup out of them. Here are their pedigree's.

Akeelah: http: //www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/574347.html

Farvo: http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/511415.html


What do you think about the breeding?

Wow, Farvos Mom, you got some beautiful dogs out of some lines that don't always produce beauty. :) I really like the Belgian lines behind Farvo/Fokker -- and the topside too.

I'm not as familiar with the lines behind Akeelah, other than that they are good working Czech lines.

Based purely on pedigree, I'd watch out for too much defense/edginess in the litter, but if both parents are strong-nerved and with very good prey drive, it should work out. I know Belgian dogs are usually very high prey with good fight drive/aggression, but Stoffelblick and Gleisdreieck can bring through more seriousness or even sharpness.
