2025 broke our hearts. We never could have imagined what this year had in store for us. The only saving grace was the years of gratitude (love my seniors) which came before the losses. I remember taking this photo and feeling overwhelming thankfulness for every single day we were given with them.

Additionally, other than the years of priceless memories they gave us, left behind is a son of Havok's, a daughter of Haven's and one of Havok's great grandsons. Having the legacy of those two dogs we loved so much brings us great comfort. As we step into a new year, we’re holding all of our loved ones a little closer and wishing everyone a PEACEFUL, healthy, and gentle New Year!❤️🙏🏼

“See, we both like balls! That’s something we have in common!!!!” Hype, probably. He wants to be Legend’s friend SO bad. He is most definitely guilty of trying too hard. 😆❤️

Star ✨ x Quest babies!
Poor Grace has the flu, so we’re staying home for the holidays this year. Thankfully the weather is beautiful, which means we can still get outside and enjoy some puppy time.

We worked the puppies through some PSA style distractions today, and they handled the bottle curtain, streamers, tarp, and even the leaf blower really well.🐾
Video coming later! Update on orange girl in the comments 🧡

Something special is on her way from Europe very soon! Intensity, beauty, solid nerves, and a social, confident nature, she is the kind of dog that doesn’t make you choose between work and looks. I was going to wait until she arrived to post about her, but after seeing these photos… that plan didn’t last long.❤️😍

The girls have been begging for a cat for years. I always told them I’d get a cat once all of our beloved senior dogs were gone. When I said that, I was imagining that day was waaaaaay off in the future, maybe they’d be grown and moved out, and I’d never actually have to make good on that promise. Right?🤦‍♀️

Well… unfortunately, that day came much sooner than any of us wanted. 🥺

Once reality set in (in the form of me getting called out and reminded of my promise during Thanksgiving dinner) I started researching because if we were going to add a cat, I wanted one that fit our household. I wanted large, bold, confident, and social. I wanted a cat with a dog like personality rather than the typical aloof feline, and let’s be honest, I also love animals that look a little majestic and have that undeniable wow factor (obviously)!

Enter the Maine C**n.

Big, brave, people loving, dog friendly, follows you from room to room vibes? Basically a cat shaped German Shepherd? Yes please.

After digging into breed specific health concerns and what to look for in a responsible breeder, I reached out to a few catteries. One breeder not too far from us had an available kitten named Legend - and he immediately stood out. Not only is he ridiculously adorable, but this kid runs on a cat wheel like a track star. Video after video of him absolutely going full throttle with his buddy Kraken.😹

Brothers.💚
Everyone, meet Ven! You might remember him as Green Collar (and yes, some of you already guessed he was staying). His official name is Vengeance von Goedehaus, but his call name is Ven...though I’ve already let Venny slip out a few times.
Hype is being the best big brother and is absolutely loving having a little sidekick to play with who matches his energy. We have big plans for this boy, and hopefully these two will stay the best of friends as he grows!🥰

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!
