What is a Western Shepherd??
well what is the Western Shepherd well
I’m trying to give you a brief
explanation of why we did what we did
what I did and what it turned into
the the German Shepherd for since 1890
has been you know the ultimate and
working dogs and wonderful companions
starting with von horath that Max von
Stefan ins was his main stud dog you
know this was an athletic dog that he
created squared him up made him capable
of movement that hadn’t been seen in a
lot of the herding breeds at that time
so we were looking to go back to that to
go back to that good form that athletic
form that von hora had the other thing I
was looking for of course is is healthy
a healthy hips because unfortunately
today you know breeders are trying to
sell puppies as fast as they can and
they don’t always look to those little
things but those little things are more
important than anything any big thing
you can name so we wanted to work with
excellent hips we wanted to go back to
an athletic form we wanted a dog that
was truly devoted and wanting wanting to
work with the owner you know and the
original standard of the Shepherd calls
them to be aloof to strangers and
devoted to the owner so all of these
things we tried to combine and after six
years of combining all the working
Shepherd breeds and will and some one or
two outside breeds just someone and I
was about to give up and quit I knew
what I wanted I knew my standard and
then boom here comes black bark and he
was more than I had ever dreamed of in
his creation his form is perfect for
true athleticism he has this I knew that
I wanted an 85 to 100 pound male Bart
lean will be
104 105 he doesn’t shed so this is
brushing my German Shepherd
third day in a row
now we’ve got our Western Shepherd and
most of the hair you see coming out of
the most dogs is under coat which
Shepherds have in abundance but let’s
see how a Western Shepherds do we’re
breeding them intentionally without an
undercoat bark this is our main stud
they said black mark so I brush him and
I brush and I get down here where most
of the hairs come out and I get this
much hair versus the 17 chihuahuas I
shed off of the standard German Shepherd
and again I’m gonna brush and brush I’m
gonna get down here where most of the
hairs break loose and this is March
first brushing of the spring and that’s
great that’s what our western lifestyle
looks for we a protection security dogs
should be able to go with you anywhere
you go and now it should be he be
well-behaved he should not be leaving
the hair behind to remind the people
that you were there so we kind of got
all that in one package when we got bark
and fortunately we’ve been able to
reproduce he throws himself every time
he has pups so this is a dog uniquely
fitted to the western lifestyle
extremely athletic powerful capable of
stopping the biggest man that you can
find
and yet great with kids extremely gentle
and just a pleasure to be around
so watch some of our clips and if you
