What is so great about German Shepherds?

If you don’t already know, I can’t possibly tell you in a paragraph or two. I’m just going to tell you one thing that is not widely known.

When German Shepherds have an adult coat as these puppies do now, and they get muddy, when it dries the mud just falls off. I swept the floor in this room yesterday and mopped it. All the dust and dirt you see on the floor has come off of the puppies this morning. As they play, the dirt just drops off of them, and I can sweep it up. Even when they get dirty, they don’t stay dirty!

The large male puppy with no collar is still available.

These puppies are extremely well socialized, health checked, are current on vaccines, and wormed. AKC Champion and performance bloodlines. Parents are OFA certified hips and elbows, and DM CLEAR.

GSD male puppy Available! and Video of See See with her puppies

See See has recovered nicely from the snakebite, and she is happy to play with her puppies again.

The large male puppy with the Green Collar is still available!

The puppies are now crate trained and well socialized. The male is laid back and very outgoing with people and likes playing with other dogs. He has been to stores and puppy classes, and he is leash trained. He will likely be a very large adult.

See See got bit by a copperhead!

She will be ok. I took her to the emergency vet last night. Her blood work looks ok, so the venom hasn’t affected her systemically. The vet said the swelling and discoloration will get worse before it gets better.

Last night: It looked really swollen. She could barely put weight on it, and it was very painful.
Now: The hair is shaved off, and she is on pain meds and putting more weight on it.

The vet thinks she will make a full recovery.

Keep a close eye out for copperheads! They are out early this year due to heavy rains and heat! We didn’t find the one that bit See See.

Two fabulous GSD pups still available! Sweet natured and beautiful!

Niles and Daphne
Daphne 13 wks and 34 lbs!
Niles at 13 wks and 40 lbs.!
Look at the chest on Niles!

Pics taken today, 4/14/2024. 13 weeks old. Healthy, vaccinated, wormed, vet checked. DM clear and OFA (hips and elbows) parents. Very well socialized, happy puppies. Show quality, but I will let go as pets on spay/neuter contract. Ears have all been up. $2500 to approved homes only.

Great temperaments. Daphne adores children and everyone. Niles is going to be big and is spending all his energy growing. He loves people and gets along great with other dogs and does not seem to be an alpha type male. They have been to Home Depot and puppy classes and love to be petted by everyone. Leash trained. Crate trained. Early socialization and training done for you!

Clyde got his Grand Championship title!

Grand Champion Clydesdale Out Of Sight

For those of you out there looking for an “old style” or “traditional” German Shepherd, this is it! Clyde is See See’s full brother. See See (Tennessee Walker Out of Sight) is the mother of Shepherd Sight’s most recent litter.

Many people looking for a traditional looking GSD associate that with European bloodlines and overlook American Show Line GSDs because they think they are too extreme, over angulated, bad tempered, spindly, or small, but Clyde is a good example of a large, masculine, heavy boned, good tempered, mildly angulated traditional looking GSD that managed to get past those more extreme dogs and achieve his Grand Championship title. You either love that or hate that! I love it!

And they are up! GSD ears up at 12 weeks! Two puppies still available!

As you can see from the previous posts, I was worried about the ears on this litter. But I needn’t have worried! Daphne’s ears look great! They are the last to come up of the ones I have here. Martin’s are slowly coming up. And Frazier’s are up and down, with one up more than the other. Check out the pics! Niles and Daphne are still available to approved homes! Call/text Sarah Morgan at 304-610-7172 or email morganshep@aol.com

These puppies have had great socialization. They’ve been to puppy handling classes at the Zoom Room https://zoomroom.com/location/richmond/ taught by The Virginia Kennel Club https://m.facebook.com/Virginiakennelclub Home Depot, and had lots of visits with other dogs, large and small, adults and children of all types and walks of life. They are crate trained and 80% housebroken (great progress for this age). Daphne (red collar) loves everyone. She would make an excellent pet for a family with children. She absolutely adores kissing children’s faces. Niles ( green collar) is going to be a very handsome, masculine male. He is growing so fast that he is slower running than his smaller and more agile sisters. He is not an overly aggressive Alpha type male. He will be easily trainable and could fit in with most families. Both of them would also make great show dogs. They have excellent conformation and movement. I hate to part with them, but I only have room for one female. I’m keeping Roz (brown collar) because she seems to be the most bonded to me.

Daphne’s ears are up! Sometimes they are all the way up, but mostly they flop at the top. This is called “friendly ears” because they wave. (Lol!) For her age, they look good! DAPHNE IS AVAILABLE!
Niles has great ears! They only go a little horizontal when he is tired. NILES IS AVAILABLE!
Roz’s ears still touch in the middle.
Martin (now Duke) has airplane ears, and the bases are up. He is very much loved by his new family.
Frasier (now Günther) sometimes has one ear up, sometimes both out straight like an airplane, and rarely both up according to his new owners.

German Shepherd puppy ears

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll remember that the mother of my current litter had a problem with her ears. I had to tape them. I bred her to a sire with really good ears with the hopes that I will not have to tape any of these puppies’ ears.

I still have three puppies here. I’m planning on keeping one female. So I still have one male and one female available. Unfortunately, two of the homes that I thought I had for sure fell through. Sometimes it turns out to just not be the right time for a puppy. Life happens. Feel free to call or text if you are interested. Sarah Morgan 304-610-7172. Or email morganshep@aol.com

Roz’s ears were the first to come up. They look great! Even though they are leaning into the middle. It’s funny because I thought hers were going to be difficult.
I think Niles’s ears are going to be fine. This is just a temporary flop on one side. That flop is not creased, so I’m not worried.
It looks like Daphne’s ears are going to need some help. But it is still too early to tell for sure. I will give them another week.

If I end up taping any ears I will be sure to blog it.

Two GSD puppies still available, and “Frasier has left the building”

Frasier was the lucky one today. He went to his new home in Northern Virginia with his new mom and dad. I am sure that this is a loving home, and Frasier will get good care. They are experienced German Shepherd owners and are happy to have a big boy back in their lives. They are going to call him Günther!

Frasier and his new dad, Larry

I still have two beautiful puppies available. One male and one female. Both are show quality but will be great pets as well. Call or text Sarah Morgan at 304-610-7172 or email morganshep@aol.com
