Hi Everyone,

Just a hodgepodge update of the going-on at Keystone German Shepherds & Kennels.  Well it is summer and while we have been blessed with rain and cooler temperature than the last two summers, it does increase my workload.  Now that our grass has reached an unseemly height, I have to mow again.

I have been unable to blog the last six days due to our schedule and the fact that I am having to re-surface our asphalt driveway, which distance is over an eighth of a mile.  Due to lack of maintenance over the last several years, it has taken all week to fill cracks and resurface the black top with the help of a wonderful young high school student, Michael.  Even with all the work and time invested, we still are only halfway done with the driveway.  Therefore, my blogs will be Spartan in the next couple of weeks as I will be mowing, weeding eating, and repairing the driveway.  I also have started weaning our three litters that are inside and growing well.  I am excited about the wonderful puppies that we are going to have available starting in mid-September.

I am proud to announce that we had our Canine Good Citizen Testing on Saturday, July 20, 2013.  We had four German shepherds take the test with three passing.  The puppy that failed had only been to Keystone’s Canine Good Citizen Class and Basic Obedience Class four times before the testing and he was not quite ready.  He will pass with a few more training classes.  Nevertheless, congratulations to the Mia and her owners Daniel and Kat Gettel, Tank and his owners Darran and Shelley Douglas, and Glory and her owner Gail Reed for readily passing the Canine Good Citizen Test and earning their Certificates.  We will have our next free Canine Good Citizen Class and Basic Obedience Class Saturday morning at 10:30 AM on July 27, 2013.  Please attend if you can make it.

Hi Everyone,

Today, I am going to discuss a wonderful eight-month-old male German shepherd puppy  that we hope to re-home.  Heidelberg’s Norman v Kelseyq (Elvis) is a normal coated shepherd and has great structure and conformation. Elvis is the son of Grand Champion, Champion Heidelberg’s Nashville v Oklahoman (OFA ‘ed) and Champion Heidelberg’s Kelsey Queridad.  His owners fell into hard times and could no longer keep Elvis.  Elvis is completely trained in all obedience, has great manners, and lived in the house full-time.

Elvis is also the litter-mate of Heidelberg’s Nelson v Kelseyq, which we have kept as a future champion and stud dog.  Elvis has an outgoing friendly and happy personalty.  He is confident, well mannered, and a very healthy puppy.

Elvis will be protective and will keep you from being robbed, but he is not a liability and will not bite a child or someone that is supposed to be at your house.  Elvis grew up with small children and is well socialized to people and other dogs.  Elvis would be perfect for a family looking for companionship and home protection, but do not have the time to train a young puppy.

If you are interested in purchasing Elvis, please call me about pricing at (918) 261-4729.  We will sell Elvis for a really good price.

 Hi Everyone,

Germane to yesterday’s discussion, we had a beautiful, just turned one-year-old intact female returned to us due to a family crisis.  Heidelberg’s Mia Yasminp, born July 12, 2012 is a Grand Champion, Champion Heidelberg’s Kodiak v Queridad OFA Excellent daughter.  Mia is a long-coat with perfect structure and will be large at a lean weight of 85 pounds.

We have Mia offered up for sale at the low price of $1,526.00, which includes the cost for her tattoo.  She will be sold with full registration and no contract, and she is breedable quality.

Mia is fully trained in obedience and house trained.  She will not fowl your house or chew on your furniture.  She does not have any separation anxiety issues.   Mia needs to go to an Alpha owner because she is highly intelligent and exhibits alpha tendencies.  She will be fine with cats and other large breed dogs.  However, due to her alpha personality, she will not be good for homes with small breeds such as terriers that will challenge her dominance.

In addition, she should not go to a home with a weak owner or she will manipulate this person with her high intelligence imposing her will taking advantage of  the weaker human.   Mia is high drive and very playful so she would be good for an active family that jogs or go on walks on regular bases. 

Mia will be protective and will bite someone that tries to break into your home or that attacks a family member.  However, Mia loves kids and people and will readily accept anyone that you invite into your home.  Therefore, she will not be a liability or a concern for the new owner.  Below are current pictures of Mia at 12-months-of-age:

Named years ago by an employee, the disaster twins, get along well because Paige their mom is a great mother figure and keeps them inline. They absolutely hate being separated and protest even temporary separations of only moments. They are infamous for their silly antics in their kennel. One of their favorite activities is a multi-part game that happens when they are let out of their kennel daily. They start with Yasmin at the lead running around the kennels at least 2 to 3 times at full speed with Yoyo closely behind, and Paige just keeping up enough to see the action. Every time Yoyo thinks she is getting close to catching her sister she will pull a fast one and cut in-between the kennels or change directions. Paige by this point has stopped and will catch her by waiting, or will change the action altogether depending on her mood by come over and lick whoever let them out.

The other part to this funny little game is Paige is smart and agile enough to sneak away from her daughters and run to the front of the house where she will open the door and come in to say a quick, “Hi,” to everyone before running back outside to catch back up with her daughters before they even know she is gone.

These three girls are in constant motion when let out of their kennel to play, and are non-stop fun to have out.
