I do have an application process for anyone that is interested in being considered for getting a puppy from me. I will not approve anyone to move forward with a sale until a puppy application has been completed and we have a more in depth conversation about your experience, needs, wants, etc in a dog! You can find the puppy application here:
https://form.jotform.com/250434301393044
Also, make sure that you are filling it out completely with accurate and up to date contact information, including an email address. I will only use this to communicate with you about your puppy application.

Please click the link to complete this form.

My fall planned breeding with Valkyrie is a cross that I’ve already done before. I have crossed Valkyrie’s grandmother, Djanga, to the male’s sire and produced the dogs in the pictures below. They were easily some of my best dogs that I’ve produced, doubling up on different Schone Stadt lines. The dogs from that breeding were social, some of the thickest bone and biggest heads I’ve seen, tough, and would absolutely bite for real. Several of those dogs were trained to be real world personal protection dogs. And I’m expecting a similar outcome with this planned breeding with Valkyrie. I will definitely be keeping back at least one puppy and a spot for a male has already been spoken for, for this litter.

What I expect Valkyrie to add differently to this cross vs the one I did prior with her grandmother, is higher prey drive and faster twitch, making for some very flashy obedience and powerful protection work. Valkyrie will also bring extreme hunt drive, which can lend us several detection prospects as well.

She is due to come into heat October, making for a tentative due date in December.

Just a foosing Valkyrie 👑
Her heel word actually isn’t foos at all. It’s in French, which is au pied.

I have seen multiple posts from people recently giving arbitrary requirements that a breeder absolutely MUST do or they aren’t ethical/reputable. And one of those arbitrary requirements I’ve seen repeated multiple times has been that if a breeder doesn’t do ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) with their puppies, they aren’t ethical/reputable.
Well, after having whelped and raised multiple litters from different lines over the last 15 years, I’d like to tell you that, in my experience, it hasn’t mattered if I do ENS or not. I have raised litters where I’ve done ENS, Puppy Culture, Avidog, ESI, ALL the things that have become buzzwords for social media. I’ve also raised litters where I haven’t done anything special with them, beyond what I would normally do. The outcomes have NOT differed enough for me to say that if a breeder doesn’t do ENS they’re not responsible. It’s my opinion that if you start out with a good genetic baseline in your dogs and you truly know how to pair dogs together, doing ENS doesn’t make a meaningful difference. I’ve instead developed my own puppy raising program over the years and I’m currently working on a second book. One that will walk you through each step of the whelping process and walk you through exactly how every litter here is raised. I’ve developed my own whelping and raising system and I don’t need ENS to make any “super dogs”.
