Dernhelm German Shepherds

05/08/2024

This great pup, Jagger, is from our A litter (Draya x Hammer) and is looking for a new placement. His owners have put a lot of love and training into this handsome boy and this is a difficult choice for everyone. Thanks everyone for their understanding and helping us network! Jagger needs a home without small dogs or cats. He does well with his female GSD housemate and his owners report he is very people social.

Jagger is an approximately 80 pound, five year old neutered male German Shepherd and is an AKC purebred that comes from working lines. As such, he’s looking for a home with active people that enjoy walks, hiking, and other outdoor activities that he can be part of. He would work equally well with a family or single person who is committed to an active lifestyle and where he can be the center of attention. He would not do well in a home with small animals and would ideally be part of a ‘one pet’ family. Jagger LOVES people of all ages and never met a stranger. While he is a German Shepherd that will bark at ringing door bells or knocks on the door he quickly determines friend from foe and is very welcoming when his owner is welcoming. Jagger has an amazing nose and would excel at scent work activities and AKC sponsored ‘barn hunts’.

If you have any questions or would like to touch base with his current owners, please message me here.

Congratulations to Dot and Bronson on earning their AKC Farm Dog certificate! It’s no surprise to us here as Bronson regularly assists Dot on their farm by retrieving packages from the end of the driveway, herding her livestock, and keeping watch over the little ones when they’re born.

Nice work you two!

Magic (Blue x Draya) visiting the children of Camelot’s Summer Camp with their Lehigh Valley Dream Weavers group! Magic is an accomplished agility dog, and while we’re always proud of the accomplishments our puppies/dogs achieve in various sports, we’re most proud of producing stable dogs with sound temperament. Nice job Pat and Magic!

Happy 3rd birthday to our B litter out of Blue x Draya. These guys are so loved and very accomplished in their roles- whether it’s doing Search and Rescue, obedience, agility, FastCAT, farm chores, or giving out snuggles and smooches! Above all, they’ve been wonderful companions and family members 💙❤️💞💜 Enjoy your day today and have a great holiday!

This past weekend Stephanie and Kamikaze (Bluegrass x Draya) stepped out on the trial field for their UPr1, which is only the obedience portion of the IGP1 routine. They earned the title while scoring High Obedience for the entire trial under USCA Judge Robin Ayling at Blue Ridge Schutzhund Club in Virginia. We’re really proud of Kazi and all that she brings to the table for this team! Looking forward to seeing all they accomplish together in the future 💜
