Happy 10th birthday to our “a” litter. V Baghira von den Wannaer Hohen, Sch II, kkl1 X Hell vom Empire Zwinger, IPO 1, FH, OFA Excellent hips.

This is Aada Van De Sterke, out of that breeding.
An excellent example of a German Shepherd Dog. Stable, bomb proof temperament, excellent health and structure, athleticism, and drive.
At 10 she’s barely got a gray hair on her and acts like a young dog!

Both turned out to be beautiful representatives of their breeds, and very special dogs!

Our new girl, Rio!

Rio von der Schwarz (Way out West Guilty as Charged IGP3 x Rommina vom Ferrenberg IGP1)

We got her as a pup...she is shown here at 14 weeks old.

She’s a little fireball 🔥🔥🔥

Yes, we are mostly Malinois focused at this point...but we will always have a Dobermann! ❤️

On September 11, 2001, our country was attacked.

SEAL Team 6, including “Cairo”, the CIA, and the “Night Stalkers” hunted down the responsible party. Eventually, they were able to locate, enter the compound of, and kill the person responsible, Osama bin Laden.

Never Forget 🇺🇸
