SiSi
Daughter of Jyfell @ Lytracaney (external mother bred by GVW) & T’Challa
Granddaughter to Sierra & Vito
SiSi is 3rd generation GVW GSD
SiSi named after her grandmothers Sierra’s pet name.
A very special girl for me in many ways. Sierra was the most wonderful of girls, being one of my 4 patriarch girls, Sooner, Hope, Sapphire & Sierra. These 4 girls would mix with any dog, raise any pup, oversee any situation, they were all calm, caring and fiercely loyal to me.
Sierra had only 2 litters of 5 girls in each litter. Sadly, one of the girls from these litters was bred from by an external person and a legacy of extremely bad breeding took place simply to produce unique colours. This experience for me was the sole reason why I never lift restrictions to breed anymore.
SiSi is all I have of Sierra and so for me to continue such a special girls’ lines in a healthy, correct, and ethical way is important.
SiSi is one of the rarest of colours you’ll find in the GSD, being Isabella, a unique fusion of ginger tones.
This girl is power and on reflection should have been called Boadicea, she fears nothing and will give her whole self to keep your space safe for you. With this nature comes a fine balance. Once SiSi knows you she is ‘yours’ no compromise, no judgement, no negotiation, she is simply all yours, however her space is your space, and she will guard it with ferocity.
SiSi will not welcome strangers lightly but once she knows you, there are no bounds to her love and affection for you.
SiSi will have her 2nd litter and has already her pet home secured with a very special lady and her 3 male dogs….SiSi will thrive.
SiSi will of course be spayed.

Merlot
Fresh Bloodlines from Bellevue GSD in America
A very impressive example of a short coat liver sable GSD
With Katelyn, his previous owner I know he has had an impressive show career as well as producing some wonderful offspring. Merlot already came with an impressive health screening.
Merlot arrived with us late April 2023.
Merlot grows more and more used to his environment daily.
He is a hit with the ladies and in general he is a super chilled, happy boy.
Lots of change for him to take on board and slowly but surely, we are all bonding and helping each other become familiar. Exercise and fuss are always the way forward and the odd bit of tripe!!!
We are very excited to look at some pairings with our girls, for me I am particularly excited about girls from Stone’s lines, I think the structure and presence will be simply beautiful.
Roll forward to January 2024 and Merlot actively comes for a fuss and a cuddle, he is a big powerful boy who sometimes plays a little rough with the girls in terms of trying to bulldoze them over…other than that he is a superstar.
Merlot may well have his semi-retirement home already sorted.
I am very lucky to have people in my life who just love GSD’s and offer the very best of loving homes for my wonderful dogs.
