Blackthorn Working German Shepherds -- Z Litter

Blackthorn's "Z" Litter

Blackthorn's Coal (OFA Good H/E) x Blackthorn's Oda (OFA Good H/E)

born January 17, 2015 ~ 2 males, 2 females

This litter was conceived using frozen semen (Coal died in May 2014). so we are delighted to have these babies. Coal was a strong, confident dog with truly balanced drives, great strength and courage, and a sensible, calm attitude in the house. He loved to work and made an impression on everyone he met--he was a great representative of the breed and his previous litters produce versatile, athletic, drivey, beautiful, healthy dogs. Oda's first litter was out of Coal's brother Jedi, producing gorgeous companions and superb working dogs.

Hopefully, two of these puppies will be part of the future Blackthorn breeding program.

Zarko ("Viking") is co-owned and Zheng-Shi ("Pirate") is owned by myself.
