Raising AKC and UKC registered german shepherds for conformation show and performance venues.
Breeder of German Shepherd Puppies for conformation, obedience, herding, therapy
Temperament is paramount! Family raised, with loving care; form and function, beauty and brains.
Sabian Shepherds is mostly maintained by myself, Denise Williams. I graduated from Cornell University with a B.A. in Psychology, and the University of Phoenix with a MA in Education Curriculum. I am a third grade teacher at a charter school in Cleveland, Ohio, aspiring to start a Christian Academy. I've had Germans Shepherds since I was five years old. As a matter of fact, gsd's were the only dogs I have ever had. In 2004, I decided to take my passion to the next level, performance sports. While seeking advice from the GSDC of NE Ohio, I discovered the conformation ring. There are many opinions about dogs bred for the breed ring and those for performance. Why can't a good dog do both? My desire is to raise gsd's that have both conformation and the desire and ability to work. (Don't forget the temperment!!) I am a member of the German Shepherd Dog Club of Nothern Ohio and the German Shepherd Dog Club of America. My co-breeders are the Villegas', who co-own Charm. Mrs. Villegas is a nurse, and has a long history with animals, growing up on a farm, and participating in 4H with her children.
It is conventional wisdom in the dog world, to tell a newbie to buy the best possible female you can afford in the beginning. Well, not to ruffle feathers, but I don't always think that's wise. First of all, how would a newbie know a good female in the first place. He/she runs into the immediate problem of taking people's word, and perhaps being duped. Newcomers are prey to all sorts of unscrupulous practices. Many breeders won't sell top show females to them anyway, until they have proved themselves. Second, until one knows which direction he/she wants to take in the breed, I don't think he/she should undertake breeding. There is an inherent temptation for newbies, (esp. if they are anxious about finishing a dog) to start breeding too early. The choice of a male allowed me to focus on the sport itself, without having to worry about heat cycles, breeding before finishing etc. I think new comers should spent a minimum of at least three years studying, showing and evaluating puppies from different litters before they attempt to breed. My interest in conformation showing started in 2004. In 2006, I acquired a performance male, and began showing him as practice. Members of my club and local breeders began to see that I was sincere and dedicated, and in 2007 I was offered Chopper. I spent a whole year training and conditioning Chopper, and that paid off, when he earned his first two points owner handled in Jan. 2009. During that year, I also spent time going to shows, evaluating litters and watching those pups mature. Hands on research. While I worked, I inquired about purchasing a female. I had to do a lot of soul searching about breeding. It is a big responsibility.
The point being, I proved myself and improved my knowledge of the breed by study and practice.
I finally decided that I was ready to take on the challenge of breeding. I knew what kind of female I wanted, and the types of puppies I wanted to produce. Firstly, I wanted a female who was sound of mind, fearless without aggression. She needed to be active, and agile. I wanted her not only to have good conformation, but also athletic ability. Neither beauty before brains or brains w/o beauty.
I was looking for a type rather than a pedigree. Type is important because the female reproduces herself. Pedigree is important because she can only reproduce as good as what's behind her.
Sometimes it seems like I am raising dogs for two different purposes here, for sport and for show. There really shouldn't be a big difference between the two, but there is, as you can see in comparing my two males. For my first litter, I chose a german/american showline female. She has all of the workability/temperament/drives to compliment my easy going male.
For my foundation female, I chose a Chopper daughter, which has been my greatest desire. I now have the opportunity to watch a handsome puppy grow up to be a beautiful show dog. She is from a excellent line of champions and herding dogs, bred by a breeder with years of experience with herding titled and champion dogs.
Outdoor kennels allow the dogs to get some fresh air while I am at work, and keeps them safe. I am a hobby breeder, so the small but adequate kennels have a "homey" feeling. The hardest part is keeping the dogs out of the flowers!
I am very active in my church and sing in the praise team. I believe in caring for the total body, mind and spirit of myself as well. Hobbies outside of dogs include: gardening, oil painting and alto saxophone. I am also raising Standard Rex Rabbits for meat and show. Check them out on the Barred R page.
He has shown you, Oh people, what is good and what the L-rd requires of you, but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your G-d. Micah 6:8
