Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
My interest in breeding developed through training & working with my German Shepherd, Sophie. Evaluating her strengths, pedigree, & researching health & inherited traits led me to pursue a carefully planned breeding program. My goal is to preserve the German Shepherd’s versatility & working character through thoughtful pairings that consider health, temperament, structure & demonstrated ability.What makes your program special?
VelesWraith German Shepherds is focused on breeding working dogs w/ the potential for search and rescue, law enforcement, detection, & competitive dog sports, as well as committed, active homes that involve their dogs in purposeful training. Each puppy will be evaluated as an individual, with placement guided by its developing temperament, drives, and the prospective owner’s experience and goals.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Prospective buyers must complete a working-line German Shepherd questionnaire and be screened and approved before being matched with a puppy.”

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.
Vet Wellness Exam
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.
DNA Disease Panel, 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).
