We are very lucky to have added Janni to our family. She is a powerful and strong female of correct size, with especially strong, expressive head, dark eyes, strong bone, harmonious proportions, gorgeous top line and fluent movement - we feel she has so much to offer! Being a huge fan of Yak vom Frankengold, I love the fact that Janni is his granddaughter, however, she also is very typical of Wallace aus Agrigento, and not surprising, as she is linebred 3-3 on him. We already had a Wallace daughter in our kennel (Sierra vom Ochsentor), and her temperament was as close to the ideal GSD as it gets for me. Janni's mother is a full sister (repeat breeding) to SG2 (BSZS) Pedro and SG1 (World champ.) Pina aus Agrigento, which also shows her strong motherline background. Janni is free from Ursus, Zamp, and Vegas. We are looking forward to Janni's continued success! Update: Janni was rated V3 at NASS (Excellent 3rd place at North American Sieger Show)!

Pola is a very large and substantial female and is absolutely her famous father's type. I picked her as a puppy out of a nice uniform litter (out of 9 females) because of her outgoing and bold behavior, deep black & red pigment, and amazing resemblance to her father both in her expression and her harmonious structure. Pola loves to make new friends and is a very people-oriented dog, yet she is a very loyal companion, and so much fun to spend time with. Wherever we go, everyone is always amazed at her excellent disposition and killer looks. Pola is full of power and positive energy and can always light up my day with her desire to be the best dog ever and to play.

Viva is full of personality and so easy to fall in love with. She is an energetic and drivey female, confident, playful, and very intelligent. She absolutely loves going for walks, and still dreams of catching a squirrel one day. She has excellent drives and desire to work, has very strong herding instincts, and is very opinionated. Her temperament is very even, and she gets along wonderfully with all of our dogs, due to her easygoing and happy personality. Viva always looks striking due to her very dark pigment and mahogany markings on her shiny fur. She is of that so desirable medium size, with expressive strong head, good bone. Excellent proportions, beautiful topline, moderate angulations front and rear - Viva is of that older, unexaggerated type that is so dear to me, and the harmony of her built takes my breath away each time I look at her. I picked her as a puppy for her outstanding personality, deep black/red color, and harmonious structure. Viva was rated SG11 at the North American Sieger Show 2009 in a class of extraordinary quality.

Pina has especially strong drives, a lot of spunk, and she is very outgoing. I call her "my Ferrari," as she is intense, focused and is a pleasure to work with. She has beautiful colors, with nice deep red markings, and a very full coat. She is very solidly put together, compact and with strong bone and very well developed chest. She has a strong head, smart expression and excellent overall proportions. Pina is extremely well bred (see her pedigree). Pina took 1st place out of 6 puppies at OG Carolina German Shepherd Show Dec 6, 2008. We hope that Pina will give a start to a special blookine in our kennel, combining excellent working ability and beautiful structure and movement.

Jessy is a very powerfully built, robust female with strong bone, expressive, powerful, but feminine head, and solid, harmonious structure. Her color is red sable, which is very rare in German Show lines. She has dark eyes, very strong pigment and mahogany red markings, which make her stand out even more. She has a very sweet and friendly personality and loves to play. We were looking for about 2 years to add a sable female to our family, and are very excited about Jessy. Jessy placed VP3 at the North American Sieger Show 2009 (6-9 months class), leaving 14 gorgeous puppies behind. In addition, her full brother "Junior" became the North American Sieger! She also has a national-level winning progeny from her 1st litter.

Jana is the pick puppy from our "J" litter and is an outstanding quality female. She is substantial and powerful, with dark eyes and lively, intelligent expression. Deep red markings add to the beauty of her very full coat. She has excellent structure, high in the withers with beautiful topline. She is an outgoing puppy, with fantastic drives. We look long and hard for puppies that are not only gorgeous but will also work, and Jana is such a find. While in our training program and showed unbelievable focus and instant responses to commands in her energetic performance, and achieved her SchH1 title at the earliest possible time. Jana was rated V8 at the USA Sieger Show 2012 in a very competitive class! VA1 (World Champ.) Zamp vom Thermodos and VA2 (Vice World Champ.) Odin vom Holtkämper Hof lines. Watch video of Jana here!

Tinka came to us from Germany at a tender age of 9 weeks, and stole my heart immediately with her superb jet black pigment, mahogany markings, powerful head and strong frame. She developed into a top young female and is a SE Region Siegerin. She has high wither, beautiful top and under line, correct proportions, and excellent angulations front and rear. Powerful movement is another great asset of hers, but all that fades next to Tinka's increadible temperament and working ability. She passed her BH with flying colors, and we are working hard towards her SchH1 title. Tinka's personality is very outgoing, and very loving. She gets offended if someone walks by her in the street and doesn't stop to say "Hi!". Tinka is half-sister to my favorite youngster, Jana von Lotta, and I'm excited about the future for both of them! Tinka is linebred 3-3 on VA1 (World Champ.) Zamp vom Thermodos and 4-5 on VA1 (World Champ.) Ursus von Batu.

DOB: January 13, 2011 German import, SV pink papers Hips & Elbows: a1/a1 Father: V Keanu vom Hessenstein SchH3 (LG Sieger), IPO3, a1/a1 (ZW 74) (SchH3 World Champion (WUSV) Tom van't Leefdaalhof grandson) Mother: G Qualle vom Mutzbach SchH2, a2/a1 (ZW 88) V Nick vom Heiligenbösch, SchH3 (V-BSP, WUSV 3rd place), FH1 granddaughter)

Mila is a darkly pigmented red sable female with a well balanced, correct structure. She is exceptionally talented, demonstrates a very strong and confident character and is very alert. She has high drive, full and calm grip, and shows excellent promise in Schutzhund. Her father, Keanu, is a Regional (LGA) SchH3 Sieger 2010 and is a son of world-famous BSP participant Ellute von der Mohnwiese, combining blood of SchH3 World Sieger (WUSV) Tom van't Leefdaalhof and V-rated BSP participant Yoschy von der Döllenwiese, my favorite working line producers. The mother, Qualle, is a granddaughter of V Nick vom Heiligenbösch, SchH3 (V-BSP, WUSV 3rd place), FH1, who goes back to V-BSP Fero. There is no linebreeding in Mila's 5 generation pedigree. With bloodlines as strong as these, we are thrilled to add a true working dog to our team! Mila's training under co-owner Josh Markow is truly impressive.

I was incredibly fortunate to be able to recently add a young female, Wiva vom Zellwaldrand to our program. It took a lot of research and a couple of trips to Germany, but it all paid out beyond my wildest dreams. Wiva is simply stunning, in her type and structure, beautifully stable and self confident temperament, and most notably, her powerful, free, and spirited movement. Fresh from the plane from Berlin to Düsseldorf to Chicago, Wiva won the 1st place in 12-18 class females in the North American Sieger Show 2012, and with flying colors. This is not the first time that we imported a Sieger or Siegerin, but Wiva is a special case. Prior to that, she was placed 24th in the World Sieger Show in Germany (BSZS), out of about 300 young females entered in her class. I can go on and on, however, I will let her speak for herself as she joins our breeding program in 2013. Additional pictures of Wiva: Pic 1, Pic 2.

She is started in IPO training, and has an incredible nose in tracking, strong desire to please in obedience, and super drives for working. She has an instant and reliable recall off-leash, even under distractions, and is just a happy, positive, willing, and loyal girl. Polina was rated VP10 (Very Promising) at the USA Sieger Show (out of 22 puppies), and also SG12 in the North American Sieger show (out of 30 females).

Qutie is of medium size but powerfully built, and shows considerable harmony of build.

Qutie is currently in Germany working on her IPO titles.
