Orchard Grove Shepherds

Orchard Grove Shepherds I have owned and worked with German Shepherd Dogs since being gifted a brood bitch considered too old to breed from, way back in 1964.
(10)

Since then I have seldom been without one or more of these magnificent animals. This includes 15 years spent as a dog handler in the South African Police Force. During that time I not only trained and actively worked with the dogs, but for a number of years was responsible for vetting and selecting dogs which the public wished to donate to the Force. Shortly after my family and I immigrated to New

Zealand at the end of 2004, I happened upon the web-site of the White Shepherd Dog Club of New Zealand, saw photos of a litter of pups (and their mom) down in Putaruru, and that was me hooked. With the arrival of our first white Shepherd, Steph's interest in these lovely dogs grew and she became more actively involved, joined a club and trained Taska in obedience. In the middle of 2010 we were fortunate to be able to purchase a small lifestyle section and hence the start of Orchard Grove Shepherds and my life-long dream to breed with them. Until now, all my Shepherds have been "coloured" dogs, I have never been able to comprehend the bias shown towards the whites by so-called German Shepherd Dog breeders and various Kennel Clubs, and it is my hope that Steph and I shall in some way be able to contribute towards not only the improvement of these beautiful dogs by careful, selective breeding, but shall also see them receive the recognition that they deserve as full-blooded members of this wonderful breed.

We recently had our Outlook programme crash on us and we lost all of our emails. Our computer guy managed to get us back some emails via another route, but we lost all our historical emails as well as a number of folders within our Outlook programme. This is a call-out to the folks who emailed us with an expression of interest in a puppy from us to please email us again stating your preferences. Only then will we be in a position to plan for our next litter.

Wow, those were the days. Two litters 10 hours apart, 19 puppies, but oh how we miss them.

Good morning all,

To everyone who follows our page and has made comments, we thank you for them (and so do our fur babies.)

This is to gauge interest if we should breed a litter of puppies soon. We could possibly use our imported semen from Italy or Yaro. The mum's would either be Hayley or Savannah. The pups would be registered with DogsNZ, microchipped, health checked and had their first vaccination by the time they go home at 8 weeks of age.

Feel free to post comments and let us know your feelings on this. We would appreciate it.

Have an awesome weekend.

Kev and Steph

UPDATE! UPDATE! We are happy to announce that Luna has found her forever home. A big "thank you" to her new family as well as to all who enquired about her or posted comments. We are sure that she will bring a lot of happiness to her new family as will they to her.

Six year old Luna is urgently looking for a forever home due to a change in her owner's personal circumstances. She is well behaved and good with people including children, but does not get on well with other dogs in a household. Her owner does not want any payment for her, but simply wants to see her in a good forever home. If you are interested please message me and I can put you in touch with the owner.

Well I am back after spending 24 hours in FB prison. What did I do? I dared to voice my opinion on what should be done to the person who chucked a tiny puppy into a refuse bag with a load of rubbish and then dumped it. Apparently whoever or whatever monitors our posts and responses does not know the difference between a figure of speech and an actual call to violence. No wonder our world is so mixed up.

It has been noticed of late that invisible pornographic videos are published in people's profiles, without their knowledge. The owner of the page doesn't see them, but the others do, as if it were an authentic publication that you had made! They post their comments as if they were you... Please, if something as such happens on my page, notify me immediately. Out of respect for EVERYONE, as well as my own integrity, I distance myself from such publications. Copy and paste on your page. It is time for this phenomenon to stop. THANK YOU.

We know that it has been a while since we bred a litter. This has unfortunately been as a result of a drastic decrease in interest in puppies. We are hoping that interest will pick up sooner rather than later as we are itching to breed with our girl Hayley using our imported frozen semen from Italy. Should we decide to go ahead with this, Hayley's next heat should be in May, so keep your eyes peeled for updates.

Update regarding the beautiful boy Malek. We know that it was heart breaking for his owners to have to rehome him, but he has found his (hopefully) forever loving home. Many thanks to all those who enquired and showed interest in this boy.

An update on Malek, the beautiful boy looking for his forever home. He is currently having sleep-overs with a family who are interested in taking him. Further updates will be provided once they are received form Malek's owner.

Posting on behalf :
Sadly we have a beautiful long-coat boy who is looking for a new home. Malek is nearly 2,5 years old and has been neutered. He is registered with Dogs New Zealand and long line of winners in the conformation ring within his pedigree, although he has never been shown. Photos and further information will be posted once we receive them from his current owner. Information just in from the owner is that he is good with all people, especially kids, is well behaved and his best mate is a kitty. He has had limited exposure to other dogs with no incidents.

Thank you to all the folks taking the time to view our page. We would love to be posting photos of litters of puppies, but sadly there appears to be little interest in people acquiring a pup. If there was more interest we would certainly try to meet the demand as we are dying to try out our recently frozen semen imported from Italy. ๐Ÿ˜

As we reach the end of 2023, Steph, our pack and I would like to wish family and friends wherever you are a Happy and Blessed New Year. May the best of 2023 be the worst of 2024.

Wishing family and friends around the world a Merry and Blessed Christmas. Please remember to celebrate with your woofs at this time.
