Rocky is officially on his way to sunny Arizona!☀️🌵

He practically launched himself into the van when he left, this boy LOVES a good car ride. I know he’s going to thrive with a life full of camping trips and quality time.

We only had him for a year, but he made such an impact. I’m definitely sad to see him go, but I’m so happy knowing he’s heading into a home where he’ll get all the love, attention, and activity he deserves without the frustration he was experiencing here.

He was truly a pleasure to have here, and I have absolutely no regrets other than wishing I'd have had more girls he would've been compatible with! Enjoy your new (less frustrating!) life, buddy! 💛

This one really stings, but in the best possible way!🥲

Mama Maya is officially heading to her retirement home in Idaho, where she’ll get to train with one of the top SAR groups in the entire country! But it gets even better! She’ll be living and working alongside her own son, who is already dual certified in tracking/trailing and HRD.

Her new playground? Yellowstone and the mountains.
Her new schedule? Adventure, purpose, and all the one on one attention she deserves.

Maya has been one of the best producing females we’ve ever had, and we have been truly lucky to have her as part of our program. Letting her go is bittersweet, but knowing she will continue to make a difference AND will truly enjoy doing it makes it a whole lot easier.

Thank you to the Vechio family for giving this awesome girl the home she deserves. Thank you Maya for giving us two of your outstanding sons to carry on your genetics. One from her first litter and one from her last. 💚😉 Enjoy your well earned retirement, Maya. You’ve more than earned it. 🖤

He’s loud, he’s dramatic, he’s needy… honestly, he’s everything a working-line German Shepherd pup should be and then some. 🤣

This kid has decided I am his mother, emotional support human, and life coach. And I guess for now… I am. 😅

Sweet? Absolutely.
Driven? Oh yes.
Quiet? Absolutely not.

If you so much as look at him sideways, you’ll get an entire 5 minute monologue about his struggles, his feelings, and the injustices he has faced in his seven minutes of existence. He’s got opinions, and he shares them at full volume. 📢❤️

Oh red collar boy, where will you go… will you stay here? We don’t yet know. 😉

This sweet boy will be leaving us very soon, and while it’s bittersweet, I truly couldn’t be happier for him. I know it may surprise some that Rocky is moving on (if you missed my earlier post), but sometimes the very best thing we can do for a dog is acknowledge when another home is a better long term fit.

We have been so happy with Rocky and everything he’s contributed here! Phenomenal temperaments, incredibly smart puppies, and some really beautiful dogs. The challenge came down to one thing: he produced cryptorchid males with my Buck daughters at very high rates. Five out of six males in one litter, and three out of three in another. With unrelated females you might see one here or there, but when two of our girls are too closely related to use and two more consistently produce issues with him… well, that left a very frustrated Rocky with no girlfriends at home.

I tried hard to find a local co-own home, but nothing felt like the right fit. So we made the tough decision to do what’s best for him. And the stars aligned. Rocky is headed to live with a longtime Facebook friend and former GSD breeder who is truly the perfect match for him. He’ll get to compete in AKC obedience and PSA, and he’ll have all the structure, engagement, and adventure his heart could want. Camping, traveling the US, training, working, he is going to thrive.

It’s hard to see him go, but I know in my heart he’s about to live his very best life.

Happy trails, buddy. You deserve every good thing coming your way. ❤️

Dinner and a show! The Maya puppies turned 8 weeks on Monday and I decided to let the remaining pups play in the bottle pool. The weather has been pretty uncooperative along with the shorter days making outside time scarce. Love watching floppy, uncoordinated puppies as they figure things out. 😁❤️

Pretty sure green boy has made his decision Kevin. 😬🤷🏼‍♀️💚

Our Story

We are a small working line German Shepherd breeder with over 10 years raising and working with working line dogs, and over 6 years of breeding experience. We first fell in love with the breed when working in law enforcement. We purchased our very first working line German Shepherd puppy in 2010 and our love for the breed grew from there.

We decided to put quality dogs into the hands of working dog enthusiasts for work and also for families who wanted a stable active family companion dog. In 2013 we began to utilize some of the finest European Working Line German Shepherd bloodlines to create the foundation for our kennel. We continue to further the bloodline we created from both the puppies we hold back from our breedings as well as importing very high quality dogs from trusted friends overseas.

We are located on nearly 5 scenic acres in a lovely valley surrounded by woods and wildlife. Our dogs each enjoy time out and about on our fenced property. In warmer weather they play in the creek along the back of our property. Our dogs are not strictly kennel dogs, we keep them in our home with us. Our Puppies are whelped in the large whelping area and are raised in a stress free, private environment by their mothers. Happy mamas = happy and healthy puppies! Our puppy room is climate controlled, puppy proof and safe! We sleep next to the new litters until the puppies are big enough to find their mothers easily. Puppies have daily human interaction and play time, plus introduction to puppy friendly dogs who enjoy playing with the little ones and teaching them boundaries plus manners! Family owned and operated, breeding quality dogs is our passion. We are happy to give a lifetime of breeder support for our buyers if they need us. We encourage updates, and love to see pictures of our pups in their new homes! No matter what you are looking for in a quality pet or working prospect, you can trust VGH Kennels to work with you in finding the right dog for your family situation!
