THEY. ARE. HERE. And Jesus is King It was a long night. Long and good. The “watch” started on Friday and first baby arrived on Saturday at 4 pm. By 11pm we had 8 puppies. Besma did super job. She is such an amazing teammate … The whole night was peaceful … thank you to all, who were praying … After the 8th puppy - we waited 6 hours for the last one. Normally - our vets always tells us (not all would agree - but in USA - “it seems” to be standard) - if there is no puppy for 2 hours - call us - if there is no puppy for 3 hours - hit the road and come Well, the Lord guided us thru this night - it was like He was sitting right next to us … we went for a walk and did all the right things as well - but stayed home. Besma had dinner, took a nap, loved on her babies and we waited… And after 6 hours - at 5 am … a beautiful healthy girl was born. Thank you to my amazing husband, who is again - the back bone of us … who took care of all, so I could stay present with her. 4-29-2023 We welcome 9 beautiful healthy puppies … 6 females and 3 males … litter ~ K ~ Zeal x Besma amazing repeated litter from last year. We pray that everyone stays healthy and strong and we look forward to seeing them grow. Stay tuned Now taking additional reservations for this litter. Please message us, if interested *** Besma resting ...

 FRIDAY. NIGHT. MODE. I don’t think it will be a wild night … The couch says so ...  I know I still have one good cry in me … we have been way to busy over the weekend, so I have not processed it yet … Years of hard work. Road blocks over and over in our way. Injuries 5 weeks before trial. Hours, days, weeks and months and now years of dedication… I have completed my first IGP3. WE HAVE COMPLETED IGP3. Zeal and I. And all those, who supported us along the way. ZEAL • V Zeal Best Of The Gods IGP3, kkl H.O.T. • He is the most dependable creature I have ever met. I have shared before, how Jesus gave Zeal to our family. Miracle story that only Jesus could plan and he has been such a blessing. Zeal, I’m so proud of you and our work together. I was not even sure if were going to enter this trial, since you got injured a few weeks before. At the time when we were support to buckle up and go hard core trial-prep, your injury did not allow you to put almost any weight on your foot. And then we brushed off your training only 9 days before the trial. Dirt was newer and not your favorite surface to track on, and if you would not complete the last article, we would not make it … but we did and moved on. Step by step we did it! As our non-German shepherds friends always ask: “Explain what all this means” —> we achieved the highest rating level of working title in the German Shepherd world - 3 phases in 1 day - TRACKING, OBEDIENCE, PROTECTION (bite-work). Zeal … I am so grateful for you … you are a gem and absolutely perfect for us … and what is incredible to see, that you’re passing along your great qualities to your offsprings. The even keel clear head, your steady drive, and amazing correctness. We will see your impact over the next generations to come … it’s invaluable … thank you, thank you, thank you There are a lot of people to say “thank you to” … you know who you are … … but there are 3 people, who I really want to say the biggest “thank you”. ALONZO. … my amazing husband, who has always supported me… never - even once - made a bad comment or was discouraging whenever I would go train, I would be tired, I would barely sleep, and made other things less of a priority for certain periods of time. He is my rock. And he is the one, who first told me, and helped me realize that I love this Thank you for all your support and encouragement… encouraging me sometimes even when I couldn’t see the way. RANDALL. … you are responsible for about 90% of what I know in this sport … if you were not the one, who taught me - you guided me to tools to study … you were the one, who would meet me on the field, over and over and over again - no matter what kind of weather or time … your dedication, hard work and commitment to your club members is incredible! I can’t tell you thank you enough, because you have put so much work into our dogs along my side, coaching me, teaching me and always talking thru all … I so appreciate you … your commitment to the sport, to my family and our dogs … you are one of a kind! VERONIKA. … I want to express my gratitude to my amazing friend and Zeal’s breeder Veronika … from the day Zeal was born you were committed for him to be ours. The one breeding I wanted, and did not think I could have. But you made it happen. You have been supporting us along the way for years. In many ways … And the 5 months Zeal spent with you almost 2 years ago and had mini booth camp - made him better and stronger and you set us up for further success. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you One chapter is finished. … as we go on - to another … Thank you Jesus for your blessings and for being by our side ALWAYS ALL the glory belongs to you Autumn … thank you for capturing these moments for us.

And lastly - Thank you to my rock … my Alonzo, my love that is much more then just a driver as he introduces himself as …you are amazing and the back bone of all It takes a village. It takes much much hard work, preparation, organizing details and logistics, hours and days of training, many team meetings, and we truly believe that one can’t even comprehend it - unless doing it and experiencing themselves. And that is one thing that we are so very PROUD OF. Every dog on our team was TRAINED and prepared BY its OWNER.

 Lena was being so good waiting for daddy at the airport … He was returning from Iraq sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ ... Welcome home our love!  Anytime I see a GSD … my eyes go first and automatically towards the legs and anatomy … Then it’s the rest … the eye, ears, coat, movement, type, etc… I continue to train my eyes … and listen to and learn from those, who’s experience we value … And with our own dogs … the criticism is always even stricter and I always think - what is the King Of Zion German Shepherd going to look like 10 years from now … Are we serving the breed? Are we preserving the standard and the dog that it used to be/ is/ and as meant to be? I have not seen such a thing as “a perfect” dog. There is always something that is imperfect in regards to the perfection … Even perhaps the way tail is attached or the length of it … This post is from Luis Donald who’s post I have been enjoying … Cheers to serving the breed!  COMING SOON We are so excited about these 2 litters and for Zeal to have his first offsprings!

NATURAL PROTECTOR  Louis Donald: A 'rule of thumb guide' to hindquarter angulation in the German Shepherd Dog. A notation - we say ''over angulation''. In that context, the increased angulation is the external angle, not the internal angle. Seen here, 225° > 255° i.e. overangulated by 30 degrees.  8/10 and better than most. To clarify - this image comes from an article Linda Shaw and I wrote on locomotion where dogs got a score out of 10 for locomotion - it's not body proportions.  |
