Q. & A. with Ra Chel
Why did you start breeding?
My husband was raised with German Shepherds. He decided he would like to have one again. So we bought a German Shepherd! We Absolutely love her , she learns and does anything I ask of her. Then I got another and another and well ,. I just want to share all I love about the breed with others.What makes your program special?
My program is geared to the person. What the dog will be used for or needed for. My dogs excel in service and therapy work. They have a medium to low energy drive making them better suited for most families. They tend to be less destructive and better listeners. I chose parents that have traits and characteristics that I want to pass on. I don’t do it just by pedigree and health results, I get to know the dog and that is my deciding factors. Good stable minds that are adaptable. Strong bodies that can work throughout the day. But drive that does not take a 3 mile run everyday. My dogs have lower drive for families and working couples or for handicapped people.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include stock, plush, 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 include sable and 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.

Boa, mom
German Shepherd
About Boa
Boa is a gentle girl with great beauty. Her pedigree is full of champions and great health. Boa is imported from Serbia and has settled in so well with our family dogs and humans. Boa holds a BH and IGP1 titles. Her hips are A rated and elbows 0. She is a dm carrier. I am looking for a guardian home or placement home.
Uploaded health tests

Ballo, dad
German Shepherd
About Ballo
Ballo is a super gentle over achiever. He is up for anything all the time. He excels in obedience (BNO),Rally,& service. Ballo is an excellent therapy dog. Kindhearted doesn’t make him a slouch though, he protects the house with the best of them and weighing 100+ lbs he puts the fear in people. Good with kids and enjoys hearing on the farm. Ballo’s mom and Dad have the SV stamp A and normal elbows so Ballo has not been OFA or SV certified. He does carry the DM gene.
Ella, mom
German Shepherd
About Ella
Ella is a go getter. She loves having something to do. So she does a lot of tracking and scent work. Ella has completed advanced obedience and has her CGC. Ella is a great family member never asking for too much attention but always beside you. She is good with kids and couldn’t care less about farm animals. Ella can do anything you ask her too but she may question you if she needs to before doing it… Ella’s sire has SV A hips but mom was never checked. Ella’s sockets are shallow so OFA results were moderate displaystic. You would never know it to watch her go and vet said she may never exhibit symptoms.
Uploaded health tests

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 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.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not 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.
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).
