Hi Everyone,
Today I am posting our wonderful new litter that will be ready to go home July 13, 2013.This is both young parents first litter; however, they have produced solid temperaments and big healthy puppies. These are the happiest puppies that I have produced in a long time. Everything is a game and the entire litter is laughing and smiling every time we are with them. 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 solid breeding.We are currently accepting deposits on this litter.

I have an absolutely lovely eight-month-old male puppy here at Keystone German Shepherds & Kennels for training.I received a call from the wife of the owner of this puppy threatening to give him away because he jumps on her every time he see her.This is a very nice family and the lady was dealing with a lot of personal and family tragedies.Her husband, the main owner of the shepherd puppy was out-of-town on business and this lady’s patience was just worn out.She called and asked if I could help, and Bear is now here for two weeks for training.
Upon our first training session, yesterday morning it was obvious that Bear while leash broke, he had no idea how to heal on lead.We spent 45 minutes just trying to teach Bear how to walk on the left side and to walk on a loose lead.While only 85 degrees because the training was done at 8:30 AM, I was drenched in sweat from the humidity and from fighting Bear from dragging him, and from him dragging me.Bear also wanted to consistently go to my right side as if he was incorrectly trained to be on the right side.
During this exercise, I was thinking about how much easier it would be to work with Bear when he was younger and weighed 35 pounds rather than 80 pounds.We spent the entire session working on heeling and never got to jumping, which is the main reason Bear is out here for training.Normally, I can get my younger puppies to heel on a loose lead within 15 minutes, but due to bad reinforced habits, I will likely have to spend three sessions just to get Bear to heel on a loose lead.
The main lesson to be learned is take the time to work with your new German Shepherd Dog puppy, when they are young because it is a lot easier on them and you to train them in the basic obedience when they are under 5-months-old.In addition, to be easier for both the owner and the dog, it establishes dominance and expectations of certain level of obedience and control, thus adverting behavioral problems such as jumping on you or others.Even if the German Shepherd Dog needs additional training or behavioral modifications requiring the services of a professional trainer at a later date, it will save you a lot of money if your German Shepherd Dog puppy has an understanding of the basic obedience commands.
We have some wonderful brand new Firecracker Day puppies from Champion Heidelberg’s, Grand Champion, Champion (GCh. Ch.) Kodiak v Queridad (Kodi) and Champion pointed Heidelberg’s Yasmin Paige born July 4 2013.We are very excited about this litter and know what to expect from this breeding since it is a repeat breeding from last year. Kodi is also a full time Service dog as well as one of top stud dogs.
Kodi and Yasmin produce large strong and self-confident puppies.All Kodi’s males are finishing out at 100 to 110 pound lean weight, whereas Kodi only weighs 95 pounds at age five-years.Kodi is definitely producing large, but within the breed standard. Kodi puppies are solid medium temperament puppies that are confident, but not too dominant.
Note: On the 4th, we out on the lake in our boat to watch the fireworks, and my son, Spencer borrowed my I-phone just before he slipped and fell in the lake.He is okay, but my I-phone died.Fortunately, I had insurance and will get a replacement sometime this week.Anyway, pictures of the new litter will be posted as soon as I get my replacement phone.

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!

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.
