Blue Bear

4.3 Year Old Male
December 11, 2020

Bio

They call me Blue because I'm mellow, soft and gentle. But don't let my chill disposition overshadow my enormous strength and power. At just over four years of age, I'm able to easily socialize with people and other dogs of varying sizes and breeds. Descending from two AKC registered parents, I inherited a big bone structure and striking red hues that helps me stand out among other GSDs. Along with my keen, adaptive intelligence and 85 pound size, I am ready and fit to work for my new family. I'm in excellent health with all of my immunization records up to date, including rattlesnake venom. My mate and I would produce remarkably attractive and robust puppies suited for companion-therapy, herding or protection. Available for sire only service.

Penelope

3.1 Year Old Female

Bio

Penelope, or Sweet_P, is a wonderful example of the higher order German Shepherd dog breed, outstanding in adaptive intelligence, speed and agility, showing good temperament. At just three years old, she is a registered AKC “Black & Tan” with a beautiful, distinctive countenance and long, fluffy tail which she uses as a rudder guiding her as she sprints. She inherits excellent qualities from her AKC parents: Abbi (Dam) who is elegant, calm and loyal, and Karuzo (Sire) a large, big-boned, strong and working-line ranch dog. She received her advanced obedience training certificate from Paige Tyson at Tyson Kennels in Redwood City, California. Anticipating an incredible litter of offspring!
