Blackthorn Working German Shepherds -- Available Pupppies

Blackthorn's "N" litter

Daughter of 2x Universal Sieger Alex v Eisenhaus!

Hunter is a medium-large, strongly built bitch with an exceptionally sweet temperament and high prey drive. She loves herding and tracking and I plan to continue working her in both venues. Her very correct but moderate comformation lends to extreme athleticism and sure-footed movement.

Son of 2x German Sieger Vegas du Haut Mansard!

Orus is a beautiful dog from a long line of VA (Excellent Select) dogs. His father and grandfather are known for not only their great looks and extremely correct conformation but their ability to produce sound temperaments and strong working drives.
