The Training of a SAR Dog, March 2016
Hunter is from a Spring 2015 litter from Unique and Nandor. He lives in Bend Oregon and is well on his way to a career in Search and Rescue. In March he earned his Canine Good Citizen certification and every week has new experiences that will build background for his work. “I can’t help but write and gush about Hunter. Yesterday he attended his first public event for SAR. We went to an assisted care facility to speak with residents and caregivers about SAR and the K9 team.” His owner Jenny goes on to say, “I was confident but cautious with Hunter, not knowing exactly how he would handle lots of elderly folks loving on him and the presence of wheel chairs and other things he is unfamiliar with. He was fabulous! He was very gentle with everyone. He definitely seems to sense when he needs to be calm. He got lots of pets and hugs, and handled the unfamiliar environment beautifully.” Hunter takes part in search simulations, has riden on a helicopter, and works closely with other dogs. This is Jenny’s 2nd ZK dog.

Stopped in their tracks…
Ayla and her owner were tired of being evacuated after fires in Blaine Co. kept them from their home for days. The Sheriff, however, had not yet lifted the order and when trying to get home they were stopped in their tracks.. Thankfully now they are back at home and safe from the fires.. We think the Sheriff liked Ayla a lot… !
Ayla, a Diamond x Xilas daughter is about 5 months old.
So excited to introduce the newest member of our ZK breeding family.. Welcome Franco!

A special thank you to all of our clients for staying in touch and sharing their pictures and stories! We love you!!
If you have found us in your search for a GSD puppy or adult, please do your research and know that the German Shepherd is a working breed. Their foundation is in herding, but German Shepherds make excellent companions and fit well into many family situations and lifestyles. However, because of their intelligence, stamina, drive, and overall desire to work, they are not the dog for everyone. A correct German Shepherd dog is lively, outgoing, spirited, and strong. Our dogs meet the standard for correct temperament of the GSD, and they need full lives, with challenges, socialization, activity, and companionship.
Please read this article,Elements of Temperament by Joy Tiz as a way of furthering your understanding of this exceptional breed.
Have a look around, enjoy your stay, and please come back often. Remember to bookmark our website!
