Parent dogs
Ravn, mom
German Shepherd
About Ravn
Ravn is a very expressive female with an intense desire to work. She is strong and powerful, and performs well under pressure. She is civil and doesn't care for people outside of her small circle - and we are A-OK with that! High prey drive, high ball drive, medium food drive. Neutral in public settings, seeks attention only from those inside her circle of trust. Nice off-switch and super affectionate around the house. A little dog reactive but easily manageable. Very biddable in training and is eager to get the reward. She actively trains and competes in WDA as well as scenario based training. She was doing vehicle extractions at 18 months old, and going into dark buildings for "seek & destroy" missions at just over a year old. She enjoys cuddles on the couch and her favorite food is raw chicken.

Iron, dad
German Shepherd
About Iron
Iron is a strong & confident Czech Working German Shepherd from a line of proven producers. He is very self serving, yet biddable enough to the handler to work as a team. Neutral in public settings, doesn't crave or seek out affection and isn't reactive to people or other dogs/animals. Has a nice off switch and can easily chill around the house. Has a nice calm grip, naturally deep mouth bites and pushing counters. Solid nerves and a strong desire to work. Iron actively trains and competes in the Police Dog Division of Working Dogs of America ,Inc. (WDA) earning his Police Dog 2 Title on his 2nd Birthday and his Police Dog 3 Title a year later. He was also a competitor in the Police Dog 3 Division of the WDA National Championship Trial in 2023. He enjoys walks with dad, building searches, chasing down and beating up bad guys.
