Hands on Experience, Knowledge and Consistency

 

Gabor has over 40 years of documented actual hands on training, selection and handling of dogs, from a sport, family and certified k9 standpoint. This gives us the integral foundation for our breeding program; this experience before we started our breeding program.

We do not claim to "have" working German Shepherds - we do have working German Shepherds that wetrain and work ourselves.  We do not import titled dogs to breed, just hold the leash during training (and state that we are "working dogs" ), handle dogs for other individuals for pay or send them away for training to others or a personal training team/group. 

 

All our personal dogs are trained from the beginning and competed with by us on the field - we know our dogs.   The working title itself is a reflection of the training and competing - this is how you learn and evaluate the abilities and temperament of your dog.  There are many dogs that are bred that are titled and sold - but the question is how did they get there?

Our personal dogs are working titled, breed surveyed, hip certified with an "a" stamp as well as OFA hip certifications, DNA'd, and tested in all kinds of conditions: strange locations (not home fields) and environments. The pedigrees of own dogs are from some of the top German and Czech lines; pedigrees and dogs that Gabor is familiar working with, seeing on the top competition fields and handling himself. You can see our dogs on the training fields and at the different levels (club to World level) competitions, as well as in the community.  We did not jump into breeding after a few years in German Shepherds - we ensured that we had a solid foundation in evaluation, selection, work, pedigrees and hands on experience.

The dogs that we are breeding to are chosen based on temperament, health, working ability and pedigree.  Dogs that we have seen progeny from, both here in the USA and in Europe, on the USA National fields and European World fields.

We are not kennel blind and only breed or but to bred to our own dogs or club/local dogs - we look for consistently proven dogs in health, temperament and working ability in the US and in Europe.  Dogs that we have hands on experience with the bloodlines and that we have seen and tested ourselves.  Dogs that are producing and that we can see, watch work and work the dogs themselves.

It is not a question of whether you have the ability or not to know a good dog, it is also the consistent hands on experience, certified training (in multiple venues) and trialing/testing at all levels that completes the process.  This is critical:

  • how can one evaluate puppies or dogs for family homes, K9, schutzhund, and/or any level of competition or show when they have not consistently done the training and actual work from the start to the finish, including selection?  

  • This includes the actual competition as well - how do you select for a level in a venue that you have not been in or consistently competed at or worked in?

Gabor's background is unparalleled in evaluation and selection of puppies and dogs.

Our puppies are socialized with small/active children, different surfaces and environments.  Prior to going their new home - they are vaccinated,  handled by different people, exposed to a collar and leash, started in crate training, travel in a crate in a car multiple times and evaluated from day one.

We are a registered kennel though Schutzhund USA as well as the FCI in Europe, active members in Schutzhund USA, MEOE, MNJK, GSDCA and WDA, and register our litters through AKC and FCI/SV.

Airline shipping is from Nashville, TN (BNA) airport.  Normal requirements are vet health certificate, up to date shot and worming records, all puppies are tattoo'd and AKC registered or SV/FCI registered (dependent on the litter).
