Puppy Chronicles...

Post by Rochele Smit »

Here is our Shadow x Zonya litter. 5 males and 5 females. I cannot say how happy I am with these puppies. They have exceeded even my expectations. Two long years of researching and choosing this cross looks to be finally paying off! Shadow comes out of Robbie v Leeuwen x Amber and Zonya is out of Schefflers C’est Touché x Vrijheid’s Adrenaline Rush. These puppies are great! Super confident, very outgoing, tenacious to the max, and very stable & fun personalities. I would like to share them with you!

Rochele,

How in the world did you get 6 week old puppies to stay long enough for that photo in the car?

I see a good entrant for the "howl-o-ween" photo contest as well...

Thanks guys!

Haha, yes, taking puppy pictures is extremely hard. For every good pic I get, there are about 50 bad ones!

Heather, yes, that was Blue puppy meeting Shadow for the first time last week.

Tell us about yourself: I'm a first time DS owner but not new to shepherds. I have a female Mal and now a female DS. I can only find certain things online about this breed. By happenstance, I found this site and hope to gain some more knowledge about this breed
