♢ 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.

When the B's hit their first birthday, my co-owner and I felt it was a good time to pull the bag off of Jubilee and take a peek at what we've got.

She is still obviously a young dog, who is very much still growing, but the pieces are coming together nicely. I think I speak for both of us when I saw we're pretty excited for her future.

The girls took a trip out to the Steel Valley Cluster this weekend to knock off another piece of health testing. While eyes are not required by the GSDCA, I like to monitor them, as I've been seeing more and more cases of pannus in the breed.

I am happy to report that both Hawk and Finch passed their CAER exams with no issues whatsoever, and the ophthalmologist had really lovely things to say about them, complimenting not only their eyes, but also their color, condition, and temperaments. 🥰

The absolute light of my life. I love her mother, and I love her sister, but something about Finch is different. I don't know that I will ever be able to quantify it. I don't think I want to.

3 years old, and she's aging like fine wine.

I want to wish both the A and B litters a VERY happy (and slightly belated) birthday!

Yesterday, three years ago, we welcomed Zuko, Hawk, Doc, Finch, and Kestrel into the world. Today, two of them are titled/nearly titled, one has almost perfected his smolder (maybe a BH for him this year?), two are wonderful companions to their people, and all but one are health tested with lovely results.

One year ago, because Kira is nothing if not consistent, we also welcomed Kaisen, Jubilee, Seneca, Hayes, Bravo, Trigger, and Severus into the world. They are in the throes of adolescence, and I have high hopes for all of them, regardless of their pursuits in life. Before we know it, it'll be time for health testing and those first steps on the trial field - unless you're Hayes, who is already a bit of a pro on that subject. ;)

Active companions, sport dogs, do-it-all dogs, weekend warriors, and couch cuddlers alike. Akira and I are very proud of her wonderful babies, and all of the people they have brought into our lives.

Today, under GSSCC/USCA judge Andrea Duggan, I am excited to announce that Hawk has earned her IGP1, and with it, High Tracking and High IGP1! 🎉

Some costly mistakes in her protection routine that were likely due to not being quite as dialed in for the phase as I thought we were, but I am overall pleased with her obedience and tracking scores for the day. She held together well, despite the heat and oppressive humidity, and while there are absolutely tweaks to be made, I am proud of her. I think she's come a rather long way from the puppy I was almost dead set on placing because she didn't match my vibe.

She says she is a strong, independent dog who don't need no handler, or something. Maybe it's karma.

There is still a larger post about the Eagle Point Hundesport 2026 Show/Survey/AD/WB, one in which I share photos of the puppies who participated in and passed their character assessments, but that is going to take time, and these past few weeks, I haven't had much of that. Hopefully, that time spent will pay off very shortly, but that is not the topic of this post.

No, this post is about Finch! The littlest fox girl went and earned herself an AD on the first morning of the event, bright and early, to avoid the onslaught of heat we knew was coming. Thankfully, it was not as hot as it has been these past few days, but better safe than sorry.

It has been very rewarding to be able to work and figure out how this girl ticks. Just under 3 with so much gas in the tank, even if our destination is a little further out, I think it'll be a spectacular ride to get there.

Surprise!

Akira and I showed at the Eagle Point Hundesport Breeding Evaluation and Breed Survey last weekend under USCA/SV judge Heidi Theis, and despite being the oldest female in the ring (no, I will not enter her in veterans yet, how dare you), she showed her best self and walked away with V3!

It is also my greatest pleasure to announce that she is now breed surveyed for life. We will still likely pursue tracking titles, obedience, rally, and barn hunt, however, because I can tell she is a little more than put out when I take Hawk and Finch to track or do obedience, and she is left behind. She will be 8 years old in October, and she acts as if she is no older than 5. I hope she stays that way a while yet.

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.
