Darkwing GSD
Meet the breeder
I'm Becky J., the breeder behind Darkwing GSD located in Amsterdam, MO. I breed West German long and stock coat German Shepherds and I believe in quality rather than quantity. I pride myself on raising sound, healthy, well-socialized and beautiful pups who meet or exceed the breed standard set by AKC. I'm located on a 6 acre farm in rural Bates county Missouri.
Q. & A. with Becky
Why did you start breeding?
For my birthday, my parents gave me a little puppy named Trinity who was born May 20, 2012. Together we learned how to train and show! We conquered the AKC ring in Obedience and Rally. We later participated in Schutzhund earning our BH. She is now retired after giving me 4 gorgeous kids to carry on her genetics. Trinity is my heart and soul!What makes your program special?
My goal is to help create high quality puppies that are happy, healthy and well adjusted. Puppies that leave here are ready to become a treasured part of your loving family for many years to come.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include stock and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing
Excellent level

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Spine (OFA, FCI), Temperament Test
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
