Euro Deja

Adele has a heart of gold. She's a real babydoll of a German Shepherd. This is a very sweet girl who tugs at the heart of everyone she meets. She has a nice on/off switch to accommodate down time at home and then activity. She's attentive and endearing, not reactive, and she's particularly intelligent and learns quickly. This coupled with her innate desire to please makes her a delightful companion. She has learned how to consistently open latched "dog-proof" doors that other dogs haven't been able to figure out. She doesn't cause trouble, though, so it's not a frustration just an impressive feat and nod to her intelligence. Adele is great with other dogs, she doesn't cause trouble or buck to be in charge with them. She also doesn't buck to be in charge with people, and can be handled by small children with my full trust to her character. Character is a must with all my dogs who are around children and are bred to produce family dogs, service dogs, and the like, but Adele is an even gentler soul. She has the sweetest eyes full of love. She's also very playful and funny to watch--one of her favorite activities is just trotting around with any bowl or bucket she finds. Adele has a beautifully big head, but still feminine within the standard for GSD's. Adele has great anatomical proportions, a straight back, good hocks, tight paws. She has a broad muzzle and overall visually pleasing facial and body proportions. She has a lighter red tone, but the richest color can be gained in just 1 breeding. Color is secondary to the three-way highest priority tie of capable anatomy, temperament, and health. We will always choose a stud that is most complementary to Adele in temperament and anatomy, with nothing but good health and a family history of healthy longevity, while also having a richer red and black for the next generation to have rich color. We selectively chose to import Adele from Europe when she was an older puppy because of her family history and character, but the main draw that set her apart originally was her anatomy in a breed that often struggles with over-angulation, sickle and cow hocks, narrowing, etc. Adele is strong in anatomy--we weren't looking to get another puppy at the time that she was offered to us, but we couldn't pass up such an incredible dog to add to our selective little program. She also hit our other checkpoints--health, superb family, character, and her motherline is known for being good Moms. This is crucial for pups to be raised by a solid mother who is responsible for imprinting. Puppies raised by good mothers are steps ahead as adults. Her sire is the famed V1 (BSZS - world championship) Reno v Angelius Team who ended up being sold to a breeder in China--I wouldn't be surprised if it was half a million dollar purchase by comparison to similar dog sales. Adele is one of the very few Reno progeny in the USA. To look at Adele's pedigree, it's no wonder her character is the way it is. Fatherline: Reno, son of VA Nero, son of VA1 BSZS Gary... etc. Motherline: direct daughter of world champion Usher, then 2x world champ Willy, and the list goes on.
