Our Boys
SG Anderl von der kleinen Ranch, BH, AD
SZ-Nr. 2121996 HD: A normal, ZW-74
AKC DN13260501 DNA ID# P-K 7208
Imported by us from Germany, Anderl is an exciting addition to our breeding program. His sire is the famous Niklas van de Herdersfarm. Anderl comes from several generations of well known V rated, SchH titled and A1 stamped dogs. He has the wonderful temperament we desired. Anderl has his SG show rating (very good) as well as his BH (obedience title) and AD (endurance title). His hip rating is excellent with his ZW only 74! Drew, as we call him, quickly bonded to our family and enjoys greeting visitors. He is a new member of our SAR tracking group. His first litter of puppies turned out fantastic. We thank Jana Plate for her assistance with our purchase of Anderl and the Jacobis for allowing him to become part of our family. You can view Anderl's pedigree here- http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/395017.html
We just received word from Jana that Anderl's sister Anja has won her class in Germany! This is her photo. Congratulations to her owner!

Samson Von Sabomeister CGC OFA UKC AKC DL485456/04
Sabo was our foundation dog who was our jumping board into this wonderful world of German Shepherd Dogs. He taught us so much as we marveled over his intellect and willingness to please. He excelled in Obedience and Agility. He was the mascot for our son's soccer team for several years and entertained the halftime crowd with his Frisbee catching ability and off lead obedience and tricks. He demonstrated his natural protective instinct when we were attacked in the park one day. Sabo left for the Rainbow Bridge on May 31, 2005. He will be sadly missed.

Dogs lick you because they love you. Cats lick you because you had chicken for dinner.
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
