DECEASED & RETIRED VSGSDs
Maximus Arcadius
Maximus looking handsome as ever! He was a service dog with the best temperament I have ever seen! He excelled in advanced obedience, enjoyed doing some protection work and loved herding the livestock on our ranch. His other great joys were children and pine-cones! He was a true guardian and cared for any and every creature that ever crossed his path. This included human babies, baby chicks, newborn kittens, pups, horses, newborn goat kids and more! He was a gentle giant and brought joy to every person he ever met. He passed away and will be forever in our hearts. He was truly the best boy we could have ever asked for. ❤
An amazing boy with a tremendous temperament and solid structure!
C. Saphira Amara Von Schwarzwald
Saphira was an incredible animal! She excelled in advanced obedience and Schutzhund from a VERY young age. Unfortunately, she was tragically taken from us far too soon by a criminal who shot her. She was in training as a service dog for her PA and was ready to test for her BH when we lost her. Saphira was nicknamed "Bright eyes" due to the literal sparkle in her eyes. She was the perfect mix of sweet and sassy! She will be forever in our hearts and deeply missed. 💜
Luxor The Lucky
Luxor is now retired and an incredible working dog! He is from imported parents and is from 100% European bloodlines. His father (IPO3) Jaeger, was the 2015 USCA WORKING DOG CHAMPION! (As well as the top tracker at that time and the only dog, out of 67 dogs, to complete his trial and receive his FH1 title!) Luxor was the most focused and driven dog I have ever owned, he would focus on his handler under INTENSE distractions, including food, aggressive dogs, people, wildlife, and gunfire on the field as we worked. He was BRILLIANT! I had planned on training him in Schutzhund and titling him, but our direction changed course due to unseen circumstances. He is a wonderful animal with a sweet and loving nature about him. He was so impressive! My 2 year old nephews (as well as stranger's children at the park) could work him off leash without a hiccup! When I say this dog was focused, I mean it would take a cannon to make him blink! Not even the shotguns could break his focus while working! This dog will be forever dear to me. He had a rough start in his early life and has since turned into one of the best looking and most solid dogs I know. His temperament and devotion made him a truly incredible boy. 💚
Paradox BellaXandra Von Schwarzwald
Paradox is now retired here with us. She looks awesome for 8 yrs old!
This girl has been an amazing mother for our puppies and has been an irreplaceable addition to our home and family. We adore her and truly hope there are many more years to enjoy with her beside us. Paradox has always nurtured everything around her... from human babies, to foals, to goat kids, to kittens and baby chicks! No harm would ever come to a little one under her watchful eye. Temperament and structure are what we breed for and she excels in both regards. We are happily keeping two of her stunning daughters in our breeding program and can't wait to see what they produce! The next litter we have will be fourth generation "Von Schwarzwald" puppies! Very exciting!
