Hi Everyone,

Happy Fourth of July to everyone.  Thank God that we have lived in a country where we can pursue our hearts and our love.  For a lot of us that is the German Shepherd Dog.  In most other country it is not so available for people interested in raising German Shepherd Dogs as a hobby much less as a business and life pursuit.  Intrusive government and regulations makes it almost impossible to start a business in most countries including the more free western countries of Europe.  Thank you Dear Lord for the United States of America and please preserve this Republic!

Ask me a Question and I will provide my opinion.   Also, please see our web page: KeystoneGermanShepherds

Sincerely,

KeystoneGermanShepherds

German Shepherd Puppies – New Litters

Exploring the vast prairie of the Washita National Wildlife Refuge

Hi Everyone,

We have some wonderful new puppies from Champion Heidelberg’s Bogie v Charisman and Champion Heidelberg’s Kelsey Queridad.  On June 27, 2013, Kelsey had one male and one female puppy.  Also, Grand Champion, Champion (GCh. Ch.) Kodiak v Queridad (Kodi) and Heidelberg’s Patience Ular (Emmy) had a new litter on June 30, 2013 Emmy had 5 male and 3 girl puppies. We are very excited about these two litters and know what to expect from these breeding since they are repeat breedings from last year.

Kelsey and Bogie produce large strong and confident puppies that do not come any more handsome.  Likewise Kodi and Emmy puppies are solid medium temperament puppies that are confident, but not too dominant.  Emmy is the only female that we can place in a kennel with all our other females and she will not get into a fight or have her position challenged.  Emmy is a true joy to live with in the house because she never gets into things such as the trash.  She knows her boundaries and follows them.

While we never showed Emmy, she easily could have been a Champion.  Unfortunately, we cannot afford nor do we have the time to show all our females to an AKC title.

We will likely have a couple of champion prospects from these two litters. We will update the progress of these litters on this blog as well as our web page: https://kgsd.inventivehorizons.com/PuppiesForSale.htm

In addition, we have another litter from GCh. Ch. Kodi and Heidelberg’s Yasmin Paige due on July 7, 2013. Yasmin is a great producer and this is a repeat breeding from last year that produced some exceptional puppies.

Hi Everyone,

I have not posted in almost a month.  I am hoping to be able to post on more frequent basis.  Well, we returned and have recovered from our fabulous Yellowstone trip.  Were we did nine hikes out of 11 days in Yellowstone.  Our shortest hike was 3.5 miles and our longest 7.5 miles with most in the 5 mile range.  These were not flat strolls, but up and down the mountain hikes at approximately 7,500 to 8,500 feet elevation.  We returned very fit and very tired!

Upon our return, I had grass two to three feet high, which took me a week to mow because both mowers decided to repeatedly breakdown.  This week, the start of July, we will be spending time grooming and heart worming all our dogs.  Being the July 4 weekend we are also filled with boards, which are customer’s dogs that we are kenneling while customers are on vacation.  These are some of my excuses for not posting, but as promised, I will post more frequently.

We did miss our dogs in Yellowstone and many times while hiking, we wished that Grand Champion Kodi could have been with us.  However, given that there are wolves and grizzly bears in Yellowstone, it is far too dangerous for the wildlife and dogs to have them come into contact.  Even Service dogs in Yellowstone are limited to parking lots and hotels.

We have a wonderful new litter that will be ready to go home July 13, 2013.  This is both young parents first litter, but they have produced solid temperaments and big healthy puppies.  The dam Heidelberg’s Carlie is from Champion Oliver and the Sire Heidelberg’s Texoma is from Grand Champion Heidelberg’s Kodi.  Crossing Grand Champion Kodi with Champion Oliver lines has proved to be a good breeding and match. Look for these puppies to be posted with pricing on our web page sometime after July 6, 20013.  We are currently accepting deposits on this litter.
