Our Boys

Stone,

No longer with us physically but I see him all around.

I had Stone & Isla from the same litter.

They are both bred from strong obedient working lines. They are an absolute pleasure and a great reflection of a great breeder.

Thank you John

Stone is keen, loyal, striking and has an absolutely loving nature.

Stone

Otherwise known as “my Boy”

Again, from John smith at Limasmyth GSD.

This boy ticks every single box on that plate; sadly however he is a N/DM otherwise he could and I would put him to every single one of my girls.

Many have visited and have been adamant that a long coat GSD what they want… They then meet Stone and fell in love.

We all have our preferences whether that is on coat length or colour and we should never compromise, however most importantly never compromise on coat, colour or size over a well bred and well natured dog.

Stone has continuously produced well balanced, intelligent, friendly pups.

This dark sable deep coat and wide head makes him look like a beast but oh my, he’s just perfection. 

He went to stay with my friend who has a young family for mating with their girl and they didn’t want to bring him back he’s just that good, great and magnificent.

It has been important for me to raise a male from Stone, that is n/n and that boy is Captain.

Captain

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his daddy, Stone Captain is sleek, elegant, powerful, glossy, handsome, strong.

Captains powerfully dramatic coat contrasts really do make him a “show stopper”, but it’s not just his looks, he truly is just perfection. Son of Stone & Rosie, Captain is the most wonderfully natured boy, even happy to raise Lulu & Nancy… now that’s truly exceptional.

Rosie, Captains mum had two litters and is now retired.

Rosie was daughter of Roma & Vito & full sister to Chillie, making Captain third generation GVW GSD

Boaz

​Grandson to Tiger, Great Granddaughter to Roma & Vito, Boaz is 3rd generation GVW GSD

Boaz came to us in July 2023 as a 4-year-old from a wonderful vet in Holland.

​He settled in as if he had always been here. Strong, responsive, loving.

Originally Tiger, my 2nd ever stud boy had mated to a female GSD from Holland and so the story began.

​

When Boaz came up for re-homing the lady vet in Holland, who has one of our dogs from Athena & Captain’s 2023 litter, was insistent that Boaz came to me as she felt he would complement our breeding programme.

I said we have enough boys….roll forward a few months and the lady had done all of his tests and asked when he could be collected!!!! I like directness.

And so, Boaz is a firm favourite here with the other dogs, the team and our visitors.

​

He is very big, but well proportioned just as his grandfather Tiger was.

Boaz brings back into the GVW GSD the fantastic nature of Tiger and the pups that he has produced.

With being only 2 generations off from Tiger but with a fabulous mix of other bloodlines, we really are privileged to have this boy with us.

I am very excited to see him thrive here.

One day he will be looking for his forever home, maybe fully retired or maybe as a stud boy off site, if you know me well enough to reach our please do so.

Merlot

Fresh Bloodlines from Bellevue GSD in America. A very impressive example of a short coat liver sable GSD

With Katelyn, his previous owner I know he has had an impressive show career as well as producing some wonderful offspring. Merlot already came with an impressive health screening.

Merlot arrived with us late April 2023. Merlot grows more and more used to his environment daily.

He is a hit with the ladies and in general he is a super chilled, happy boy.

Lots of change for him to take on board and slowly but surely, we are all bonding and helping each other become familiar. Exercise and fuss are always the way forward and the odd bit of tripe!!!

We are very excited to look at some pairings with our girls, for me I am particularly excited about girls from Stone’s lines, I think the structure and presence will be simply beautiful.

Roll forward to January 2024 and Merlot actively comes for a fuss and a cuddle, he is a big powerful boy who sometimes plays a little rough with the girls in terms of trying to bulldoze them over…other than that he is a superstar.

Merlot may well have his semi-retirement home already sorted.
I am very lucky to have people in my life who just love GSD’s and offer the very best of loving homes for my wonderful dogs.

Quattro

​Fresh Bloodlines from Bellevue GSD in America. Father to GiGi, Gloria & Flora

A brilliant example of a pure white, long coat GSD with really dark pigmentation, just how I like a white GSD to be.

Quattro has taken the UK in his stride and is a real favourite with the staff as he is cuddly and kind and so happy to be with you doing whatever just as long as he is with you, but never needy.

​

When guests visit, he can be aloof, he will weigh them up in his own time, never aggressive just wants to work things out for himself. Once he likes you that’s it, he will be your friend for always and ever.

​

Quattro has produced some of the most wonderful pups over the past few years and I hope will continue to do so.

Externally he is a gem, super calm, lead control is great, re-call is perfect.

​

He is happy to be around other dogs.

​

He is however a fierce perimeter guarder, not a negative just a surprise as he is in all other ways a super chilled boy.

Quattro is now semi-retired and lives with Maggie and her 2 girls locally. He is adored by all 3 ladies….just how he likes it!

Boy

​Son of Ava & Stone, Grandson of Grace & Chillie, Great grandson of Roma & Vito, Kenya & Ryder

​Great great grandson of Tiger & Layla & Sky & Weller

Quite a Pedigree this young man has, a magnificent fusion of all of my historic stud boys bar 2, White Charlie & T’Challa.

​

Just the most unusually calm pup, loving, loyal, friendly, responsive, happy, playful, I could go on and on. He is my pride and joy and even if he does not make the grade for breeding, he will stay with me as the wonderful companion that he already is at 7 months.

​

The deepest and softest of coats, a warm rich sable – open to debate on what colour sable – he changes and grows on a weekly basis….like a strong sturdy weed!

​

If Boy does make the grade to breed from, I will so very excited to place his pups into the arms of their new owners, simply taking a huge amount of pride in all that we have achieved with the GSD over the many years we have had the pleasure to be in each other’s lives.

​

The Boy made the grade…….I am so excited to find him suitable girls to produce some wonderful pups with.

Ingo 

​This wonderful little chap who joined us Autumn 2023. ​What a kind natured, happy dog he is.

​Super with all the other dogs and a great favourite not just visually but in personality.

​

Ingo has clearly had the best upbringing that is so obviously reflected in just how he is.

​

He loves to climb on the hay bales and make a mess, he loves to eat horse pooh too!!!!

​

Ingo also loves a game of tag and chase and is simply a happy young man.

I am hoping that if his hip and elbow tests come back as we would like, then we can start to infuse this lovely boys personality and looks throughout our GSDs.

​

Panda’s not everyone’s cup of tea…..but watch this space and see if and when he produces some offspring what they will be like.

​

If he doesn’t make the grade, my vet has already asked if he can have him!!
