The Girls

We are now no longer part of the Kennel Club Accredited Breeder Scheme. We removed ourselves from their listings. We were disappointed that at no point, not one person from the Kennel Club either contacted us by phone or came to view the conditions in which we look after our dogs.

Our cheque was cashed within 2 weeks and our Certificate of being an Accredited Breeder was issued?

Not much of a standard really!!!

You may still however find more information about the scheme can be found HERE.

DM Testing Abbreviations

n/n = Clear: Dog is negative for the Degenerative Myelopathy mutation.

DM/DM = At Risk: Dog is likely to be affected by Degenerative Myelopathy, and will always pass on a copy of the mutation to any offspring.

n/DM = Carrier: Dog carries one copy of the mutation associated with Degenerative Myelopathy, and could pass on the mutation to any offspring, if not bred to a n/n partner.

Daughter of Captain & Raine
Granddaughter to Stone & Rosie, Ryder & Taylor from Gentlebears
Great Granddaughter to Weller & Sky, Vito & Roma
Joy is 4th generation GVW GSD

Joy is a happy, clever, and a playful girl with a great temperament. She loves to play with other dogs and our staff. She is always the first dog awake in the morning and is always ready to go out for walks and hikes. Joy is the perfect German Shepherd.

As Joy has matured, she has become powerful, loyal and still a little cheeky!! She is of super solid construction and a chip off of the old block in terms of her width.

An amazing fusion of pedigrees places Joy very clearly amongst our finest GSD’s here at GVW. Joy has made a great mother and is happy to play with our youngsters.

Joy loves cheese!!!

Noor, an unusual name coming from the Islamic word ‘beauty’ and Noor is certainly that, simply ‘beautiful’.

A black/bi/seal coat all we could debate on I’m sure. Sleek and short coated, with great confirmation, alertness, kindness, and an eagerness to please, as do all dogs from Stone’s lines.

Captain

Athena is sister to T’Challa.

She is extremely elegant, happy, kind and very sociable.

Athena has the most beautiful coat, at first glance solid black but in fact it is a mixture of bi-colour and seal… never been to great on colours but this is my guess.

She has a wonderful light charm about her, especially when in the fields chasing butterflies and in general exploring her surroundings. Her gait and elegance just ‘float on by’

When Athena is old enough to have pups, my choice would probably be Captain, Captain will complement Athena’s charm in many ways in addition to being n/n for DM, against Athena’s n/dm.

Moving on….

Athena has had 3 very beautiful litters and has proven to be the very best of mums in her rearing and capability. She is strong and athletic with a long, sleek black/seal coat that often eludes the true beauty on a photograph.

Athena is very lovely and very loyal, she will turn on a coin for you and her re-call is impeccable. Always loves a ball, her playmates and a good fuss and a carrot. Athena is very easy to please and very easy to love.

Athena also does not like all dogs, but is responsive and very open to correction, so a strong minded handler is always a must.
We will look to find a retirement home for Athena. This home will need to have confident family members as Athena, who are as
loving as they are firm. Athena is very intuitive.

An absolute diamond of a youngster.

Calm, happy, kind.

Very much like her mum x

Always from a pup she has been no trouble, Queenie is kind and affectionate.

She is a huge girl even at of 12 months, she was very tall, long and rangy.

Queenie is a very good mix of her mum and dad (Minx & Chillie).

Queenie was named perfectly, she is regal, kind, calm, authoritative and majestic.

A truly wonderful nature and great mother to her pups.

Queenie is fabulous externally when out on walks, with great lead control and acceptance of her environment.

She is a firm favourite with the staff, she is playful and happy and keen to keep her buddy Margo in line.

I have never experienced a dog birth as she does, very calm, super chilled, no stress, very little effort, it simply happens, and that is how Queenie roles in her life in general.

Mother to Boy from Stone

Ava is a gorgeous silver sable girl, great out with our terriers and youngsters.

One of 2 sisters, Ava and Munroe.

Calm, kind, gracious a truly beautiful dark silver sable girl.

Very, very happy and easy to please.

Ava is being raised by her mother, both a little bossy around food, but very manageable.

I think Ava will fit in just nicely here, she is alert and loves playing out with her young sister, which shows me she has a great nature.

Roll forward a few years……

She is already nicely settled into her semi-retirement home and lives in the same village living with one of our retired boys Cooper and her new family, Neil & Liz, whom I thank with all of my heart for giving Ava such a wonderful loving home.

Amazing in her nature and her elegance.

Ava is without a doubt one of our best girls and we are very proud to be able to not only show but authenticate such an impressive line of nature and beauty leading all the way to this little lady.

Fantastic on the lead and super chilled in the house environment.

Ava has made the very best of mums, and hopefully will have her last litter with us before she well and truly hangs up her pregnancy boots!

Vivienne, daughter of Captain

Sister to Aida

Granddaughter to Stone

Vivienne, named after Ms Westwood certainly lives up to her name with total sleek, individuality, elegance and a true ‘dare’ to be herself.

Vivienne is bright as a button and with her calm, kind nature she is a firm favourite with everyone on the farm.

A dark sable short coat with the prettiest of eyes, a real gorgeous soul this one.

Very much looking forward to finding her the right pairing to really bring out the very best in the lines that she carries.

As always being one of Stone’s granddaughters, you simply cannot go wrong in having a dog like Vivienne in your life.

Margo is very youthful in her manner, she is playful, carefree and happy to just fly around the fields chasing whatever and whoever there is to find fun with.

A fantastic specimen of a silver sable long coat GSD, Minx really did make some beautiful pups that I know many of us are very grateful for.

Margo will hopefully produce some equally wonderful pups in time, but in the meantime, she will continue her merry way in life.

Granddaughter of Minx & Chillie.

Great granddaughter of Roma & Vito.

GiGi is the sweetest, kindest girl, as long as there’s no food around.

She is playful and carefree and loves a good snuggle.

She is definitely a calm, happy girl and has been fantastic in raising Gloria, her half sister, who is also a Quattro daughter.

GiGi, enjoys her walks on and off the farm and is a delight in all aspects of her personality.

As always with any off-spring of Minx, just a beautiful girl.

Making Iris 5th generation GVW GSD

Iris is a beautiful young lady with piercing eyes. She is much loved by our staff and visitors due to her playful yet kind nature. Iris has proven herself to be a good mum using her fair temperament to raise her puppies.

Iris is now in her semi-retirement home and will come back to us for her 2nd litter which will be her last, here’s some of her new owners feedback:

Iris is settling in really really well!
There's a great facility nearby that rents a private dog walking 3
acre field. It's been a great way for her to get to know us and have a good run and play especially while in heat, all secure and totally private.

She's eating and sleeping well, lots of exploring and sniffing, bee
hunting and helping in the garden! Today she met our dog loving 78 year old neighbour who is already in love with Iris and demanding an 8x10inch photo to add to her wall next to her framed photos of Hershey & Issy!
More updates to follow!
Thank you!
Gina & Tim

Hi Andrea!
Just sending an Iris update.
Things we found out about the lovely Iris this week.
She likes ice cubes, socks, long walks, rivers and ponds. She seems to be fine with cows, the pub and the coffee shop; appreciates a good pillow, an afternoon nap, a good long fuss and a brushing. She's settling in just fine! She seems to like all the things we do!! Perfect!
Oh, Andrea. She's just wonderful!

Tarka, is brilliant.

A truly strong-minded gem, all on Tarka’s terms but willing to please, to relax, to be loved.

Tarka has a wonderful short bi colour coat which shows her fantastic structure off to great effect.

Her brother boasts coming Best Reserved GSD pup at Crufts in 2022 – quite a big step in the right direction with his strong straight back and high hocks.

We will be excited to receive a litter from this lady and see how she fares as a mother, because as everything else she is without fault.

A semi-retirement home will be found for Tarka, she will need love, structure, friendship and would really suit someone who maybe would like to be active with her, camping, walking, swimming, whatever it is I am certain Tarka with thrive.
