Retired Dogs

Every dog we import from Germany to be part of our breeding program means a lot to our team. Some are a part of our kennel for a few months and others for a few years before retiring. The reasons as to why they retire vary and while we wish we could keep all of them we know that this is unrealistic. Because of this we will occasionally look for homes for our retired dogs. We are extremely selective where these dogs end up being placed and it requires commitment of those interested in them. Prior to going home, they will be spayed/ neutered and you will have spent a lot of time getting to know them as well as doing a handful of private lessons with one of our trainers.

V Kati vom Lausitzer Seeland

Kati was imported in March of 2024 and gave us a wonderful litter that same year. This June, Kati may have turned 8 but you would not be able to tell without knowing. She is still very playful and young at heart. 

we believe that Kati will do best being the only dog in the home. While she can get worked through being around other dogs, she has shown that she prefers to be the sole princess and get all the attention from the humans she falls in love with. Kati was raised around children in Germany that actively helped her previous owner to train, show and title her.

 

V Lea von der Burg Königstein

Lea might be one of the prettiest dogs we have ever imported. She arrived late fall of 2022 and was instantly comfortable, wagging her tail and greeting everyone she met with kisses. Lea has a petite build with delicate and feminine bone structure and some of the richest red we have ever seen on a dog. With her dark face, she is a true beauty and while she might be dainty, she has a big personality and loves to play.

V Dunja vom Römerhain

Dunja is a confident, outgoing female. She is beautiful with strong bone structure and she is always alert and aware of her surroundings. She likes to play with the hose, any toy that squeaks and will want to sleep on the bed with her people. Dunja gave us many wonderful puppies over the years and is now looking to find a family. She is strong willed and will do well with a confident handler who can give her love, affection and structure.

SG Warta vom Thaipan

Warta was imported in November of 2025 in hopes of becoming a part of our breeding program. However, the moment we opened her crate after her long flight we knew that this was wishful thinking. We knew she had a lot behind her as her previous owner in Germany had passed away which is why we gave her a few months to settle in and adjust. Nevertheless, her initial nervousness and fear has persisted.

Overall, Warta takes a long time to fully trust someone and stays skeptical even after she does in certain instances. Oftentimes, the fear simply wins but she has gotten better with those staff members that spend the most time with her. In general, the more time you spend with her, the more she opens up and forgets that she is scared. She loves getting out and spending time with those she loves. When she lets go of her fear and feels comfortable, she is a happy bouncy playful  and snuggly little girl.

While Warta was never an official part of our breeding program, we have fallen in love with her over the past few months and will be extremely selective in the home she gets placed in. Whoever is interested in her must realize that she has been through a lot and that it will take time for her to bond. We will require multiple visits and training sessions prior to agreeing to homing her.
