This will be Cosy’s last litter. During her breeding career, Cosy has produced numerous SchH3 titled progeny, and several showed successfully in Germany at the BSZS. Her offspring have perfect character - friendly, eager to please, with a desire to do the work. Anatomically and movement wise, Cosy is an exceptional female. She comes from one of the world’s best bloodlines, and is an own daughter of the best producing female of recent times - Ginga Kristall See.
Cosy has enjoyed a long and illustrious show career, including high places at the German Sieger show (SG14, V62), Most recently, at age 6.5, she was V2, Working Females/ Eastconn Conformation show (showing against females half her age!) , and 1^st place at the NE Regional Veteran’s class.
After this litter, Cosy will be retired from breeding, though she may continue to make show appearances on occasion.

Gift is one of our up and coming youngsters. She is not yet titled in work, though we do plan to title her in the future. Gift is a daughter of our V Kiddie vom Kirschental, HGH, KKL1 “a”; our foundation female, and V Sherry vom Kirschental, SchH3, HGH, KKL1 “a”. Most recently, Gift earned SG2 at Eastconn Conformation Show, Nov 2009. The judge, Herr Nordsiek, commented on her excellent movement, and said she should be an asset for a breeding program. We liked the cross of Kiddie/Sherry very much, and we also kept a sister to Gift, Gem for our program. (Gem has also earned her SG at numerous shows, and also has “a” normal hips/elbows.)

The litter sire, VA Zeppo Arminius, is a beautiful, masculine, red and black son of the excellent producer Zeppo Klebinger Schloss.
Zeppo also has an excellent, sound temperament!

We THANK Steve & Kathy Patch for the opportunity to breed to VA Zeppo! Steve’s relationship with his dogs is similar to ours with our own dogs. Steve’s dogs are social, can be together and go play in a group. Steve’s two VA males, Zeppo & Barry, frolic together, - Steve takes them swimming in summer - & they accompany Steve when he is out riding his horse. We feel it is important to have this kind of relationship with our dogs. This is how we can tell you with certainty that our dogs will fit into a family. We know because they fit into OUR family. So, I was very pleased to find a dog like Zeppo, who produces working ability & is at the same time, solid & trustworthy in character.

* Noteworthy* There is a new genetic test available to determine if a dog carries the gene believed responsible for development of the insidious disease, Degenerative Myelopathy. Zeppo has been certified Normal on both copies of the gene. He is not a carrier of the DM gene.

We have the Mother, Grandmother, Aunts, and Grandsire of these puppies on premises and available to meet.

Kiddie is a pillar of our breeding program. She has produced multiple SchH and FH titled progeny, as well as SAR dogs, Herding dogs, and many that are successful in the show ring. Kiddie is producing very well for hips/elbows & she has provided us with four wonderful daughters for the future of our breeding program. Kiddie will be retiring soon, and this might be her final litter.
We are excited about this breeding as it combines our foundation lines; Banner is a son of our Xenia and Sherry Kirschental. These puppies will carry Kiddie, Xenia, and Sherry’s lines together.
Banner is a typical Sherry/Xenia son; He is deep red and black, sound in character, social to other dogs, and has very strong Herding instinct. Banner is also perfect medium size and a tireless mover.
As a puppy, Banner was USA NE Regional 6-9 months Puppy Sieger, VP1, 2007. He was always in the top 3 when shown.

We stopped showing Banner due to an injury. (The damage was cosmetic & would have affected his placing in the ring.)
Banner is in training for his Herding title.
Banner is a litter brother to “Bunny”, and a full brother to Evander & Emerson.
For this litter, the parents, Grandparents,several past puppies from the mother, and siblings to the sire are all available to meet.

Danka is a daughter of our Kiddie vom Kirschental X Sherry vom Kirschental. She has an excellent character as well as being beautiful & a strong female. In 2008, Danka was VP2 at the USA NE Regional Conformation Show and VP5 at the Canadian Sieger Show, in a very strong class. Danka has been started with sheep. We co-own Danka and she has grown up in a family with both another
Shepherd, and a smaller dog present to play with, as well as children, and horses. Danka has a truly lovely temperament. Here she is visiting in a Rehabilitation/ nursing home.

Zambo earned his VA at the earliest possible time - just 2 years old. He is a “total” package male, who has excellent drive for work, super focus, and beauty in conformation and movement. Zambo carries the same mother line as our Cosy Holtkamper See. He is linebred on Ginga Kristall See, perhaps the best producing female of recent history. Zambo’s sire is multiple times VA Negus Holtkamper See.
We expect this litter to produce some really nice prospects for show, work, and as family companions.

This breeding produced multiple show prospects, including VP1 Kipling, & VP2 Keats
These puppies have a sweet character, easy going, and they have a TON of bone. We expect similar puppies this time.
These puppies carry VA Ronaldo Zellergrund & VA Dux Valcuvia through Amy, as well as 2X Herding Sieger, Sherry, and his sire VA Yasko.

*Charlotte x Sherry… another repeat of a very nice breeding!
Will be bred Mid-March
