Judge @ 15 weeks old!

We are so happy with how Judge is maturing, and can't wait to see what he will look like at 3 years old! He is already showing nice movement and is a very muscular pup and looks very strong/masculine. We are so proud of our boy and we are excited for his future! :)

Major on the move...

Summer fun!

We had a very busy, but relaxing weekend. We took the dogs to the lake and hug out with lots of friends and family while enjoying the warm sun. Ahhh, bliss. Turns out Judge is a natural at swimming! Jumped right in after the other dogs and wasn't phased by it at all. Judge also got to go with us to "Timber Days" festival in Cook, MN. There he got to experience crowds of people, dogs, horses, crazy clowns, and the randomness of kids coming up to pet him. There were tons of sights, loud noises(sirens, bands, fireworks,etc) and TONS of smells. It was also pretty warm so lots of stressors for a little puppy, but he managed everything just fine, handled it like a pro. He is really developing his own personality too! He's pretty sure he's the best thing on four legs and prances around  like he owns his surroundings. He's not a people pleaser though, doesn't bother with making friends to strangers. Would rather sit and observe(or JUDGE) you first, which is fine. He loves training though, sits on a dime and a very fast learner, so I guess you could say he LOVES to please his owners.  He does everything we ask him too, with no complaints :) Such a great boy to have, we're so proud of him.

handsome Major!

The whole family!

All puppies are in their new homes!

It was an emotional day for us, as we said good bye to the remaining puppies from our Major x Desi litter. Ms Red has gone to a local home so we hope to see her every once in a while. Ms Blue(moms favorite) has gone to a family in Iowa. All of our puppy buyers are so kind and responsible owners, we are so blessed to be able to experience the breeding world like this...having complete trust and confidence in the families that we have meet and knowing that we are giving them the opportunity of owning a loyal, healthy, beautiful new GSD puppy. We are thrilled for our puppies and excited for their futures, and we hope to continue our lines in the future...not breeding to breed, breeding for betterment of the breed and to share our ever growing knowledge with those that share our love and passion for the German Shepherd Dog! :)

9 puppies is a lot of work!!!

Here is a photo taken yesterday of Desi, she's just slightly under her pre-pregnancy weight. Her puppies are now 12 weeks old and she still lets them nurse off and on, such a good momma.
