UPDATE: Pink has found her new stage 💖
Huge thank you to everyone who reached out to us regarding Loki! Loki has found her forever home, but we do have one more adolescent female pup looking for a forever situation.
Meet P!nk: a little rockstar who is seeking a new stage! 💖
P!nk is a 9 month old sable GSD puppy from our I-Litter. She is a working line and was imported from the Czech Republic in utero. She has medium energy levels and mostly medium drives. She’s not over the top, but not a total couch potato either. She does have high food/hunt drive—if you drop a piece of food, she will hunt it down if it’s the last thing she does. She lives with multiple dogs and cats, and we have no issues with her. She can be slightly annoying to the cats, but is never dangerous and will respect clear and firm boundaries set by either you or her kitty friends.
You must be smarter than a 5th grader to own this dog 🤣 She doesn’t have a malicious bone in her body, but she does have a whole set of mischievous ones! She likes to make sure that your boundaries and expectations are where you say they are by testing them over and over again. Of course, she pairs her boundary-pushing with adorable puppy wiggles that will make your heart melt & she pretends to be a soft little baby who doesn’t know any better while flagrantly disregarding the rules. You must not fall for her antics 🤣 clear and consistent rule-enforcing is a must at this age in order for her to mature into a well-mannered adult.
P!nk is likely to bond extremely hard with one handler, and would be perfect for someone looking for an incredibly easy to train sport dog. Her natural handler focus can only be described as obsessive… she wins “most likely” to be the dog I am begging to just please, for the love of god, leave my side just for a moment and go p*e. 🤬 Her favorite activity is sitting and staring at me waiting for me to tell her what we’re going to do next. This is truly a genetic trait as I don’t think I could train this type of handler worship even if I tried. 🤦🏽♀️ *Build engagement at your own risk.*
She is completely green/untrained for sport, but would be suitable for many venues including IGP (correct gripping behaviors, will track for days & never leaves your side anyway so heeling would be a breeze.) Her handler obsession would also lend towards an amazing competitive obedience prospect. Agility is where I would personally love to see her rock someone’s world. She’s small, fast, and loves to run and jump, a true pocket rocket shep. P!nk is 21 inches at the withers currently and is unlikely to go above 22. I would guesstimate her current weight is around 50lbs. With all that being said, she doesn't *need* to work regularly to be happy. As long as she's with her chosen person, she’s content. P!nk loves to swim, go on walks and hikes, and hang out with other dog friends.
P!nk is only available because we kept back multiple siblings from this litter and have decided to move forward with some of them instead with regard to our breeding program. Of course she's completely up to date on all vaccines/flea and tick/heartguard, is house and crate trained, walks on a leash and knows basic manners both in the house and out in the world.
P!nk is an incredibly special pup who will need a firm but kind handler. A sense of humor is required, we are definitely looking for someone who will be amused by her mischievous personality and daily antics. But So What? She’s still a rock star. 💞
Our beautiful K-Litter puppies, one week old ❤️ eyes and ears are starting to open!
UPDATE:Loki has found the perfect forever home ❤️
Our sweet girl Loki is available to an absolutely perfect home❤️
Loki is an incredibly special 11 month old black GSD puppy from our G-Litter. She is incredibly lovable, goofy, amiable and genuinely kind. She is a working line, but is on the low end of medium energy and has extremely manageable drives. She has a calm, clear mind and easy could be her middle name. She will do just about anything you ask in exchange for a hot dog and is also happy to relax on the couch with you for movie night, especially if she can have some popcorn.
She would be perfect for a family or someone looking for a casual weekend-warrior type sport dog. She is fairly green, can do IGP (she is a prey girlie and has extremely correct gripping behaviors, will work for food) but she doesn't *need* to work regularly to be happy. As long as she's with her people, she's pretty much good. She loves to swim, go on walks and hikes, and hang out with her people and dog friends pretty much whenever and wherever they happen to be.
Loki is fantastic with all dogs, cats, and children. You can take her anywhere, she is completely trustworthy and kind. She also has an incredible gift for making reactive or fearful dogs feel at ease. She is a perfect combination of happy goofy playful puppy + deferential, patient, and gentle. Despite her youth she has become the dog I snag first when I have a new dog, rescue or otherwise, to gauge where they are in terms of dog sociability. She truly has a gift when it comes to interacting with other dogs. She would be a breeze for someone with a multi-dog household, and she would be especially valuable for someone who fosters or rescues other dogs a lot. She is such a gem in this regard and I completely trust her intuition with other dogs.
Loki is a large female and I expect her to be easily 80+ lbs at maturity. She is thiccck and will remain that way 😆 lots of scary dog privilege with this one! Her head and body are nowhere close to true maturity (she's having her first heat cycle currently) but she is already quite physically imposing and a bit of a beast. She will absolutely alert bark and scare off the mailman, but once you tell her they are a friend, she is happy to wiggle and lick her way into any stranger's heart.
Loki is only available because we also kept back three of her siblings and have decided to move forward with some of them with regard to breeding. It was an incredible litter and I'm truly thrilled with how they have all turned out, but I can't/shouldn't keep them all. This was a very hard decision but I am sure Loki will make someone out there extremely happy. Of course she's completely up to date on all vaccines/flea and tick/heartguard, is house and crate trained, walks on a leash and knows basic manners.
If you've been looking for a once-in-a-lifetime dream dog who wants to go on long walks on the beach and share an ice cream cone with you, here she is. 💞
We are so thrilled to finally announce our K-Litter 💞

Our long-awaited and eagerly anticipated MERCH DROP is finally here!!
For our first merch drop we have many different colors of t-shirts, tank tops, hoodies, and sweatshirts with our classic logo, pride rainbow logo, and black out / white out logo options.
We soft launched on our ig story this morning and the response has already been amazing! In the future we are hoping to offer more logo designs featuring other dog sports as well as more subtle and artistic designs. We may venture into other options besides clothing (we’ve had quite a few requests for tumblers, stickers, dog gear, hats etc) if we can find a suitable platform that supports those items, so feel free to send us your recommendations.
Prices are set as low as our platform will allow and will remain there ❤️ we sincerely appreciate our Magnum Opus family helping to spread the word and rep our breeding program!

We are thrilled to announce that our sweet Lucy has earned a 3-point major this weekend 🖤
- Desmond has found his forever home -
If you are looking for a goofy handsome dog with a "forever puppy" face & the hard work of training already done, look no further!
Desmond is a two year old male West German Working Line (WGWL) German Shepherd who is looking for his forever home. Desmond is from our D-Litter and he was returned to us at no fault of his own.
Desi may enjoy dabbling and having fun in certain sports with the right person, such as scentwork, tracking, rally, fastcat, agility, and dock diving. However, he’s not highly driven and would not be a good fit for someone wanting a serious sport prospect to compete at high levels with. He was originally placed as and will continue to be perfectly happy as an active companion, perhaps with another dog or two to hang out with. He is absolutely obsessed with water and has a serious sniffer on him. If you play fetch with him you've made a friend for life. He is an extremely large male, 90+lbs, but has a pretty easygoing personality.
Desmond is well socialized and fully trained and is used to a home environment. He is potty trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash and understands a variety of basic commands. Great with other dogs. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, heartworm prevention, and flea and tick. Contact information can be found on my website.

Happy to announce that we are now recognized as an AKC Breeder Of Merit!🏅A lot can happen in 5 years…& this is just the beginning!

The D-Litter will not be ignored! They are upset that momma Hex went outside for a potty break & want everyone to know all of their thoughts on the matter.
Our puppies are starting to take interest in toys & each other, exploring their world mouth-first!
Hex, who is currently pregnant, is very interested in Sky’s puppies and loves to come check in on them. She’s very gentle ❤️
We have a couple of escapees 😂 purple and azure collars are the first to make a break for it! Going to have to transition them to the weaning pen a bit early. They’re only 2.5 weeks old 😅😭
Introducing the puppies to some new sensory mats, fun surfaces and toys today! Sky says she can help them out if they don’t want that stuffed rhino 🤣
All the puppies from the C-Litter are steadily gaining weight and doing very well 🙂
Athena turned 16 weeks old yesterday! Here’s a video of her tracking—she’s coming along nicely!
Creating a more enriching and stimulating environment for our growing puppies!
