Meet the breeder

I'm Karin W., the breeder behind Nine Realms German Shepherds located in Medical Lake, WA. Our GSDs have high ball/hunt/work ethic, full grips, sound nerves/environmentals, and are social with people/dogs. Pups are suitable for police, SAR, detection, tracking, personal protection, proteciton sports, service dog work, and more. This is shown in the parents abilities and previous pups.

Q. & A. with Karin

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding after being sold several pups for "work" that did not have the drive and nerve for work. Instead of purchasing from breeders, I decided to produce my own dogs for working programs. I also want to provide working GSDs from titled for individuals in the Spokane/PNW area.
  • What makes your program special?

    All of my dogs are titled, showing proof of working ability, compared to other breeders in the area. All of my dogs are able to work in multiple disciplines at one time, making them and their pups very versitile. I produce pups for all varity of work and can show that the parents can do all of this work through titles and real world work.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, black, black and tan, bi-color, and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    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.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
