♢ Working Line German Shepherds
♢ Health Tested & Titled My view of the German Shepherd Dog is one of versatility.

Originally bred as herding dogs, they have developed over the years into protection animals, companion animals, service animals and all around working/sport animals. They should be level headed, and capable of performing any task in any environment, with strong biddability and appropriate discernment, reacting correctly to a variety of situations. My goal is to produce dogs who replicate these characteristics, and are overall sound (both mentally and physically) and correct.

Slow is fast.

The best bit of advice I've gotten for this dog is simply not to rush her, to take my time and let her really marinate. It's been hard to not want to push for more too soon. She is, by and large, far easier than her sister. She comes with a manual, and many behaviors almost seem pre-installed. I sometimes forget how green she is, because she simply seems to know, until she doesn't, and I must constantly remind myself not to fall into the trap of expecting a trained dog without doing the training.

But I am incredibly excited about her. She gave me hell to start, but I am so happy I stuck it out.

It's always so fascinating to me to see a young dog who is so quick to pick things up, so eager to work, so willing to learn, and so incredibly sharp, be at an age where he really does not know what the weird guy with the pillow is -doing-, but it seems fun, and he'd like to bite (and possess) the toy.

Maturity will do him wonders, as it has his elder brother. He's just a little bit baby, right now, and that's just fine 🥰

Now THAT'S a spicy meatball!

Finch remains ever true to herself in being the littlest, fastest, angriest little bird on the field. This dog does everything at 110%, little to no questions asked. She is less straightforward than her sister and certainly makes me think about how I approach my training sessions with her, but I would not trade her for anything. My little passion project ❤

Jubilee understands the assignment when she comes onto the field!

Her mom and I don't train at the same location, so naturally, when she does choose to grace us with her presence, photographic evidence is required for posterity.

It's me. I'm posterity 😇

Between Zuko and Kaisen, Kate may be proving that Akira's boys are slow burns, and you've got to be ready to wait them out and put the effort in to really see them come into their own.

Zuko took his sweet time about waking up, but with every session, more and more of that dog comes to the surface, like a great, hulking ship just beneath the waves of a dark ocean. Very Flying Dutchman of him, if I'm being honest. It's been very rewarding to watch him put the pieces of the game together.

If you are in northeast Ohio and looking for an absolutely phenomenal pet photographer, I cannot recommend Laura enough. These turned out fantastically, and I can tell you that at least a few (if not most) will end up hanging on the walls of my home as prints. Stellar work!

I want to take a moment to congratulate Hayes and Linda Andersén Garretson on his UKC Championship! In minimal showing, this boy has earned not only another title but also praise from several judges, and I am eager to see how he continues to mature and develop. He is consistently happy to show, always enthusiastic about making friends with the judges, and has shown no signs of losing the lust for life that he displays.

Speaking of loving the photos I get of my kids, Bravo specifically gives me cute aggression. Jubilee somehow looks extra mature, while her brother looks SO baby, and I want to squeeze him. Look at that face!

It is something of a privilege, really, to have Jubilee in a home where I get such lovely photos of her on, at the bare minimum, a monthly basis. I get to see her frequently, but goodness, Steph spoils me with photos that I want to print and hang on my walls almost every time.

I don't often talk about the struggles of training on social media.

Don't get me wrong, I value transparency. If anyone asked me who I preferred between Hawk and Finch, I'd tell you Finch, in spite of Hawk being the better dog for sport, because Finch has always felt easy. Her engagement came naturally, and she put a high amount of value in me from the beginning of our training journey together.

Hawk? Hawk, quite frankly, did not give a damn about me or what I wanted, and it took a lot of time and a lot of effort for that to change. She was an externally motivated dog who did not need me in the same way her sister did. Hawk does not depend on me - she is perfectly capable on her own, thank you very much. I absolutely complained about it, but I also put the axe to the grindstone and worked to change that.

When her mother was younger, I remember asking a friend of mine to just take her and put the tracking on her, and she told me no, again and again, adding gently that it will mean more when her tracking scores are all my own doing, and she was right. I took that to heart and I am incredibly proud of the working relationship Hawk and I have, now. She is aging like a fine wine, and the future excites me.
