Just over a year ago on October 22, 2021, we picked up this little (now over 110 pounds) guy (Udo vom Kraftwerk) from Nashville International Airport. He was flown air cargo via Alaska Air from Seattle, WA to Nashville, TN, then rode home with us to Mississippi. That was a BIG day in all of our lives!

After a puppy learns its name and to "come/HERE", we begin with the basic "sit/SITZ" (rhymes with fits) command. The puppy expected to remain in a SITZ until another command is given or they are released. After the SITZ, we teach "down/PLATZ" (rhymes with shots) where they are expected to stay until another command is given or they are released. After the PLATZ, we teach them to "heel/FUSS" (rhymes with goose) where they are to walk at their handler's left side as he/she walks and sit when he/she stops walking. After learning these THREE major commands, we put it all together, usually in a totally different location from where they learned each of the other commands. Here is Adia's first day "putting ALL three together" at 4.5 months old. She is incredibly smart and willing to please her handler! Be sure to WATCH Part 2!

​The American Heart Association released a survey that found 95% of pet parents rely on the pet for stress relief. Dr. Glenn Levine, Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and Chief of Cardiology at the DeBakey VA Medical Center, was the lead author. "Lily" was purchased from us by Dr. Paul Klotman, President, Baylor College of Medicine, in October, 2019 just before COVID19 hit. She became what he described as Baylor’s “therapy dog.” She accompanies him to work every day and appears with him during his weekly BCM YouTube updates! Her “niece,” Lucy, lives in Durham, NC with her “mom,” Dr. Mary Klotman, Vice Chancellor and Dean of Duke University School of Medicine. ​

This gorgeous dark sable girl is a wonderful guardian/companion! We look forward to breeding her to SG-Max vom Haus Cismar in the future. Stay tuned for updates!

We just LOVE how receptive Max puppies are to training! Adia is no exception as she naturally wants to connect with her handler and already has incredible eye contact and attentiveness - despite distractions. She has displayed incredible alertness and attentiveness since she was a wee pup! She will be an incredible addition to some family!

At 8-weeks these working German Shepherd puppies already exhibit ball drive!

Neither thunder nor lightning nor rain distracts this 8-week old puppy during her first lesson learning the Basics: Here, Her Name and Sits!

It is definitely hard to see our puppies leave, but it is wonderful to know they are going to a great home! We wish Rob, Diana, and Shilo many years of adventure, fun and memories! Shilo, by SG-Max vom Haus Cismar (AD, BH, IPO1, IPO2, IPO3, 6xIPO3, KKL) and out of Xara Venušina sopka (ZVV1), is destined for success, regardless of what her new handlers desire!
