Parent dogs
Mamba, mom
German Shepherd
About Mamba
Mamba is our smallest German Shepherd. She has a frame like a Malinois. She is all black and has a sweet temperament with a lot of spunk. She might be the youngest female in the home but don’t tell her that lol. She runs around in circles with the others because she constantly wants to play. She is considered a “black diamond” female because she only produces black puppies in her litters no matter the color of the males. She’s our very special girl and I am looking forward to see what her and Hondo produce.
Hondo, dad
German Shepherd
About Hondo
Beautiful AKC certified West German Shepherd with a black and red stock coat and strong build. He is our gentle giant. Such a sweet disposition and loves to be around people and other animals.
Starling, mom
German Shepherd
About Starling
Starling is our all black female with a strong, solid body but is light on her feet and glides around like a feather when she runs. She has a sweet temperament and loves to please whenever she can.

Excellent level
Rusak Shepherds / Wiley Hill Shepherds reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.

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.
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.
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).
