What a thrilling week! Isaac's hip and elbow X-rays were done on Wednesday, submitted to the SV (German Kennel Club) for certification โ and they look fantastic!
On Thursday, he joined the kids for a field trip, showcasing the breed admirably. Now, time for a well-deserved day of rest! ๐พ
โ๏ธ Second toe nail trim is in the books!
๐ Keeping puppy nails trimmed every few days promotes a healthy relationship between mom and pups.
๐ถ It also gets pups comfortable with their nails being trimmed when they go to their furever homes.
Our O Litter is 12 days old and thriving.
๐ Thea is a proud and dedicated mom.
โ๏ธ Early Neurological Stimulation is complete
โ๏ธ Eyes opened yesterday!
โ๏ธ Ears are opened
โ๏ธ Gaining weight with every feeding.
โ๏ธ Socialization is actively occurring throughout each day.
It's quite magical to watch the numbers on the puppy scale go up after each feeding. The pups are motivated and focused on eating and sleeping.
Thea is a patient and loving mama who's taking excellent care of her babies. ๐
This litter is sold out. We are accepting applications for future litters.
Happy 1st Birthday to Koffee and our entire K litter!!! ๐ ๐ฅณ ๐ great things are in store for each of you!

Logan's favorite time of day is play time!!!
Meet Leila the lovebug!
I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for the team of trainers we have working with us. One of these amazing ladies took Leila home for a couple of weeks to dial in her training. Leila became her constant companion.
๐ธ Leila went on field trips to Schutzhund club, which she loved.
๐ She experienced her first Halloween, and hundreds of kids in costumes ringing the door. ๐ช
โค๏ธ She loved every minute of it โค๏ธ
Leila especially loved playing hard with the other dogs in the home. ๐ก
Leila adores kids, dogs, and people in general. She is an extremely social young lady with a heart of gold. ๐
Leila is available to an approved home. ๐ก
Leila, Latte, and Logan are produced by W***y von Babylon and Bakira vom Haus Audax.
Latte & Logan are our pick pups from our March 2023 litter. Watch for updates coming soon on these two siblings.

There is no question. They are truly man's best friend.
An intentional facet of our business is personally having multi generations in our home and breeding program.
Chakira (pictured) is our foundation female. We retired her from breeding at 6, and she has been living the good life by Jason's side since.
As I write this, Chakira (grandma, 11 yrs old), Bathilda (mom, 5 .5 years old) and Koffee (daughter, 11 months old) are all laying at my feet. This is the multi generational legacy that we are creating.
๐ W***y von Babylon, also pictured with Jason & Chakira, is one of our current studs and another example of multi generations in our breeding program.
๐ฃ Did you know that W***y's Great Grandma, 5 generations back, was Jason & I's first German Shepherd together as a newly married couple??? We had imported her from Germany and she lived with us until she passed at 14.5 years old.
We know our dogs and our bloodlines personally. Not just from recognizing a name in a pedigree but from creating the pedigree.
๐กOne of many facets of responsibly breeding German Shepherds, in our humble opinion, is a combination of importing the very best bloodlines and dogs out of Germany AND keeping, raising, and proving our own dogs from our own litters to be considered to our breeding program.
Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours!
Those eyesโผ๏ธ๐
I just love this dog! Emma has passed all her health testing and is working toward titling in IGP. Her progress, focus, and understanding blows my mind.
So excited to see what the future holds for this lady. ๐
Today, I am thankful for longtime clients visiting and seeing our "puppies" all grown up.
Amadeus is a son of Chakira from our A litter.
Have one of our pups? We would love to see your pups picture! Or better yet, give us a call and come out for a visit.
On cold and dreary days, when I spend too much time behind a computer, I find joy in the little things.
A while back, I helped a fellow GSD lover with her new rescue dog and answered a few questions. She sent me this awesome sweatshirt.
"Never underestimate a woman with a German Shepherd."
And then, for my birthday, another amazing client and friend gave me the most awesome mug!!! It not only keeps my coffee hot, it heats it up!
So today, I'm finding joy in the things that warm my hands, my heart, and soul.
The pieces are coming together! Trial is coming up. Mostly excited...๐
BH is 3 weeks away! Implied sit is on point. Down on cue and recall are lovely.
Finessing the details is my current focus. I am so proud of the energy this girl brings to the work.
Emma has worked so hard over the weekend that she earned a lazy day to rest and recover today.
Back to work tomorrow!
The love of a dog makes everything better.
Leila's learning from the big dogs this weekend!
Learning how to play, read, and respect dog body language signals is extremely valuable for a growing adolescent pup.
She's also learning to mirror their calm, focused energy when it's time to relax.

It's been a long time since we shared an update on EZ. EZ was returned to us last summer when his owners had some unfortunate life changes. EZ has been actively working on increasing his speed and engagement in his obedience work. Hannah has worked significantly with him on counter conditioning touches from his nose to tail. He's also doing well with neutral dog work around all dogs, including intact males. I am loving watching his comfort level increase. It shows so much in his willingness to play, explore, and the blatant joy on his face while he's working. #ezupdate #counterconditioning #gsdsuccess #responsiblebreeding #responsiblebreeder #GermanShepherds #gsdcute #germanshepherdsofig
These sweet babies are growing and thriving.

๐พ My dog is too smart! ๐คฏ She knows all my marker words and has been watching my mouth and knows both the first consonant sound and the shape my mouth makes. Y= Yes F= Free G= Good So I've been playing with words and seeing how well she's paying attention. ๐ ๐ฃ What games are you playing with your dog??? ๐ #dogtraininggames #playwithyourdog #gsdplaytime #smartdogs #toosmartforherowngood #clevergirl #toodarnsmart
Never underestimate the power of teaching a dog to hold still and to stay in an obedience behavior until you communicate that they are free. Movement is easy, natural, and self rewarding. Holding still is work. โ๏ธ Luca learned all of this prior to our nasty freezing weather, which made staying inside so much relaxing for everyone! Luca is looking for someone who he can hold on to, be there for and love forever. Are you looking for someone to come home to? ๐ก ๐ Luca is waiting to be your best friend and companion.
Most dogs abhor the vacuum. Good, sounds genetics and intentional shaping with puppies makes it a lot easier. Chakira's used to the vacuum. This is the first time Emma's been free in the house while the kids were working away. ๐ช I was curious to see how she would respond! ๐ฃ Any dog's perspective of the vacuum can be changed with intentional work. โ๏ธ Noise Counter Conditioning, starting at a low level. โ๏ธ Create a bed (place) behavior through positive reinforcement โ๏ธ When your dog is ready, slowly start to put the two together. This may mean that one person vacuums at the other end of the house while you feed your dog for relaxing on its bed. โก๏ธ Distance is your friend! โผ๏ธFood is crucial. Need help? Our sister company @audaxk9academy offers lessons utilizing this. #dogsandvacuums #counterconditioning #dogtraining #germanshepherdsofig #GermanShepherd
Play time is always hilarious at our house! ๐ โก๏ธ Healthy communication is as important for our dogs as it is for each of us. ๐ฏ Correct play cues are crucial to dogs playing well together. ๐ Dogs learn play signals and communicate cues from their littermates, their mom, and stable, trustworthy, mature dogs. ๐พ These cues are crucial to develop and intentionally shape as puppies. This is one of many reasons why we keep our puppies to 10-14 weeks of age. ๐ play bows, rolling over, laying down and ear position are just a few examples of playful cues our dogs are showing in this video. ๐ Bathilda vom Haus Audax & Willy von Babylon ๐ #sundayfundayโค๏ธ #dogplaysignals #dogsatplay #gsdplay #gsdplaytime #germanshepherdimport #germanshepherdsofig #germanshepherdstud #germanshepherdlife #sundayfunday #sundaysunshine

Is your pup bulletproof?!?! ๐ Our puppies are loving the ride lead by our 'junior dog trainers' ๐ Would you like to build your pup's confidence in new environments, with loud, startling noises and on different surfaces? This is how we do it! ๐ Start young! ๐ฅฉ Use food ๐ก Remember, the last thing your dog hears, sees or feels before the food enters their mouth is what will be conditioned. This is not about you or what you say! And this isn't just our recycling! It's our noisy pool and we feed our pups in it so they get used to loud, banging, crashing noises while they eat. โก๏ธ In the beginning, feed your pup distance away from the noise while someone else rattles the cans and bottles. ๐ซ never make or force your puppy to go in the noisy pool or be so close they can't eat. We are not looking to stress or overwhelm our pups. ๐ช We are looking to build confidence and counter condition the banging and crashing! ๐ซ Need help? Shoot us a DM.
Meet Ice. ๐ง A happy, motivated, engaged, intelligent and driven pup. โก๏ธ We particularly love his drive and intensity in the "fight". He does not give up. He stays in the fight even when it gets frustrating or challenging. Please note, we're evaluating this as we're playing tug a war utilizing a leather rag or a flirt pole as we cultivate his play drives. โ He has a tremendous structure, with good movement, rich pigment, excellent problem solving skills and an all around engaging, outgoing, curious disposition. โก๏ธ He is constantly nose to the ground, following scents; tracking other dogs, moles and wild life. It's a kick to watch him find a scent trail and naturally work it. ๐พ
Creating recall from a young age! . The earlier we shape habits, the more long lasting those habits are. . What habits are you shaping with your dog?
How's your dog's recall under distraction? ๐พ Naccci's recall is rock solid. She's learned tons of fun recall games @audaxk9academy to increase her speed and reliability under distraction. ๐ #happydoghappylife #recallgames
How do you motivate your puppy? . Toys? Food? Love? . Green collar is definitely toy motivated. . Each pup in the litter is having individual time in the house away from the litter. This helps them to be more comfortable without their litter mates when they go to their furever homes. It also gives us the opportunity to work on shaping foundational obedience behaviors, play habits, accessing their problem solving skills and starting potty training. . #pnwgermanshepherd #pnwpups #responsiblebreeders #puppyculturebreeder
