Older Heidelberg Puppies that are ready to go to their new homes
Most everyone that is looking for a puppy wants the cute young fluffy ones, but they are only at this stage for a few weeks.Actually it is so much easier for the new owner and better for the puppies choose an older puppy.By the time a puppy is over 15-weeks-old it has no more interest in living with its litter-mates and they prefer human companionship over other dogs.Therefore, you have no sadness when you bring an older puppy home.In addition, they are mentally developed enough to understand the house rules and they do not want to go to the bathroom in your home.

If you are considering getting a German shepherd puppy consider getting one of our older puppies and save a little money on some very high quality shepherds.
This is a quick post today to remind and encourage everyone about the start of our new Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Basic Obedience Class at Keystone German Shepherds & Kennels on Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 10:30 am. There is no charge for this class and all breeds and ages are invited.The only requirement is that your dogs must be up to date on all their vaccinations.
We concluded our summer training session in August with several owners and dogs passing the American Kennel Club (AKC) Canine Good Citizen Class.Since the conclusion of that class AKC has announced a new advanced level for Canine Good Citizen. With the introduction of AKC Community Canine, the AKC’s CGC program now provides a comprehensive three- level training program for dogs and their owners. Beginning with AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy, progressing to Canine Good Citizen and now to AKC Community Canine, the CGC program trains dogs through all stages of life to be well behaved in society.We are excited about the new program and will match our training class exercises to meet the qualifications of this advanced level of training.
We Cannot Wait to go to School
We look forwards to seeing new faces and old friends.Please make it out for our free training.The more participants that we have makes for a better class and training opportunities for all.
AKC Community Canine expands on CGC skills and lays the beginning foundation for obedience, rally and therapy dog work.Many of you with young dogs are planning on moving through to bigger and better things for your puppy, and we thank you for allowing us to be a part of this journey.

I am so sorry that I have been so sporadic on these posts.Ever since mid-June it seems that I have lost control of my time since I have been unbelievably busy.However, with summer ending and all the associated chores, I am hopeful I will have a little more time to share with you my stories and knowledge of the wonderful German Shepherd Dog.To make up for my tardiness I have a true and inspiring story for you today.
A Male Heidelberg Puppy that is currently Available at Keystone German Shepherds & Kennels
A longtime friend and Heidelberg German Shepherd Dog owner, John had his life saved by his beloved male Heidelberg, but not in a way you would ever expect.John is a Heidelberg dog collector and has gotten into breeding and showing Heidelberg German Shepherd Dogs, but while over the years John has had several Heidelberg’s, he had his favorite male, Gunner that went everywhere with John.Gunner was approximately five-years-old and had already finished his Championship and was John’s prize stud dog.

One day John came home and Gunner immediately came to John and rather than giving John the regular greeting of sitting and waiting for John to lean over so Gunner could give him a kiss, Gunner immediately stuck his nose in John’s calf and started licking.John thought maybe that he had brushed up against a girl that was in-season and did not think too much of the calf licking.However, Gunner was persistent in licking John’s calf so much so that John took a shower so Gunner would stop.Gunner did not stop.This went on for a week, and so much so that Gunner got scolded and put outside several days.

John thought Gunner had developed some kind of personality problem and was upset that his prize stud dog and companion had become Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) over John’s leg.While deciding what he was going to do with Gunner, John had the television on and a program came on about how European Doctors were using dogs to detect cancer.

John scheduled an appointment with his doctor, and he found that John had under-the-skin melanoma in the calf.Almost anyone that has under-the-skin melanoma by the time they feel sick and seek medical help they usually die five days later because, by this time, it has spread throughout the entire body and is the brain and the lungs.

John had major surgery on his calf to remove the cancer and for two years had undergone chemo treatments.He is finally cancer free.Needless to say, Gunner was even elevated to a higher status in John’s house and while ten-years-old now, Gunner is still doing well.

Today, I am going to switch gears to discuss an issue that has developed with one of our long-time friends.Monday, I will continue my discussion of our new family members.
We received a call about 12 1/2 year-old Rocky, one of my all-time favorite German Shepherd Dogs.Rocky has stopped eating and drinking and is throwing up bile.He has rapidly gone down health wise in the last month and it is time to say goodbye until we meet again.
Rocky started his life out as a promising show dog and was sold to Connie who lived in Mannford, Oklahoma.Connie and Rocky were extremely close and did everything together.Connie after a year and half was diagnosed with breast cancer, and so Rocky was boarded out here at Keystone German Shepherds & Kennels while Connie was going through treatment and too sick to take care of Rocky.We got to become very close to Rocky.Connie lost her battle to cancer, but her love and fighting spirit was not lost on Rocky.Connie’s husband gave us Rocky after her death because Rocky presence was just too painful of a reminder of Connie.
When Rocky came to stay with us he was not the same after Connie’s passing.Rocky was very depressed and grieving.We decided the best thing for Rocky was find him a good home with children that could take his mind of his loss.We re-homed Rocky to such a family, and Rocky began to recover from his grief.Now ten years later after a wonderful and spoiled life, Rocky will be reunited with Connie.I imagine that they are taking one of their long walks along a beautiful mountain stream.
Losing your best friend after 12 years is the hardest part of owning a German Shepherd Dog.It hurts as bad as losing a close family member and the grieving process is very similar. I am comforted in knowing that because God loves us that we will be reunited with all our companions someday in Heaven.He will not withhold any joy from us including being reunited with our best friends. I am not going to start preaching in this blog, but there are several Bible verses that support this hope of being reunited with our beloved German Shepherd Dogs.Personally I believe Heaven will be filled with cats and dogs.
