VonBIOS Birget ("Eva" - Sable)

1 x female born (cesarean section) on
October 26, 2020.

"Eva" was Ultrasound scanned Monday, October 26, 2020, to determine puppy heartbeats and numbers. in her Litter, which sadly, was only two (2). However, the male could not be saved and the female is doing very well.

This puppy's pedigree name will VonBIOS Gretel.

Gretel is now 21 days old as at 16/11/2020. Gretel is in the "Back of House" care from her grandmother, Tessie, who will be 12 years old late in December 2020, as per the Youtube video below.

The Stud Dog is Dasty vom Ludwigseck BH AD, an "All Black" imported from Germany, October 2019. Eva's sire is the imported, Dark Red Sable, Bruno vom Wallensener Hof IPO2. Apart from the drive attributes of both imported dogs, their respective obedience and protection Dasty's all-black coat has darkened the coat.

Eva rejected her sole surviving puppy (female)., which means, hand raising her. So far, this puppy is getting fed on-demand.

VonBIOS Gretel, is now receiving "Back of House" care from her Grandmother, "Tessie". This relieves me of the task of stimulating Gretel's nether region to produce "1's and 2's". "Tessie" is providing parental stimulation as well puppy do's and don't's in behaviour.

WORKING LINE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS

Von BIOS is a niche Breeder and Trainer of working line German Shepherd Dogs (Deutscher Schäferhund), based near Melbourne, Australia. We just love these magnificent canines for their superior intelligence, high prey drive, bodily strength, strong character and friendly disposition, along with their devotion to their "Pack and Pack Leaders",

ARE YOU A "PACK LEADER"?

It is our mission and indeed, reward in life, to be able to facilitate the creation of exceptional litters of German Shepherd Dog puppies. We provide every opportunity for each Puppy to be enhanced and placed in readiness for adoption and placement with their new "Pack and Pack Leaders" (families and teams). We are seeking persons who are committed to developing these magnificent canines into functional, responsive and manageable members of their group.

As much as a working line German Shepherd Dog can be demanding for some inexperienced handlers, if you put the effort in, which is not onerous, you can become an effective “Pack Leader” with a VonBIOS working line German Shepherd Dog and reap the rewards of a healthier lifestyle with exercise and stress reduction aiding in a happier you (here is hoping).

SO WHERE DO YOU START?

Selecting a suitable working line German Shepherd Dog (Puppy) requires the initial question of, "why do you require such a dog and how do you intend to engage, train and utlise him or her"?

New Mating

"K" Litter - Male Puppy

VonBIOS Kaiser - Available for Adoption

VonBIOS Emeline ("Athena") gave birth to one male puppy (singleton) on June 1, 2023 @11:45 am. The unique aspect of this whelping is that the puppy, named "VonBIOS Kaiser", was born naturally, without needing a Caesarian Section. His birth weight was 462 grams.

The Sire, ("lucky dog") is Alpinebase Lucky (a.k.a. "Luger"). See video below.

VonBIOS Kaiser weighs 19.2 kgs, as at 15 weeks old.

VonBIOS Kaiser, (male), is a working line, German Shepherd Dog puppy, a "singleton" (only puppy in the litter), and is offered for adoption (sale and breeding agreement) to a suitable handler to undertake Obedience Training whether for ANKC credentials or Schutzhund/IGP International Dogsport credentials.

VonBIOS is delighted to advise that VonBIOS Frizzi {"Puk") has been mated with Alpinebase Lucky ("Lugar"), the Stud Dog (sire) for the "K" Litter (see below).

This August 2023 mating is a worthy experience due to the Stud Dog (sire) owner facilitating an early arrival and stay, from the commencement of the female season, at that the Stud Dog (sire)'s kennel. VonBIOS Frizzi {"Puk") was a particularly sensitive female that VonBIOS endeavored to mate with a previously utilised stud dog provider. However, this was unsuccessful and the Stud Dog owner would not allow VonBIOS Frizzi {"Puk") to stay overnight or indeed for any period of time.

If a litter is produced, it will be designated as VonBIOS Litter "L".

VonBIOS Frizzi {"Puk") was mated on the 13th and 14th of August 2023.

Therefore, we would expect the litter to be whelped on or about October 15-16, 2023.

Puppies available from December 15, 2023, through to February 2, 2024.

New Litter Expected

Puppy Waiting List

The Planned Breeding of three (3) VonBIOS females and date estimates for Season Start and Puppy Adoption -

VonBIOS Franka (15/07/23) (24/10/23)
VonBIOS Fritzi; (26/06/23) (04/11/23)
VonBIOS Jana; (15/07/23) (24/10/23)

VonBIOS Emeline ("Athena") will be mated again with Alpinebase Lucky ("Luger") in say March 2024, this is considering she only had a "Singleton" on June 1, 2023, and she has so much to offer.

Research has established that maiden bitches need to be "introduced" to the selected Stud Dog over several days from the commencement of the maiden bitch's "Season", thereby reducing, if not completely removing any apprehension, enabling successful matings.

It's a pity that the last Stud Dog kennel would not allow "In Season" females to be introduced in this manner. This became an expensive, stressful, and time-consuming number of mating attempts.

VonBIOS has more client females coming into "season" as follows, along with others not mentioned below -

LITTER FEMALE AVAILABLE SEASON

"G" 1 n/a n/a

"H" no females n/a n/a

"I" about 4 May 2023 t.b.a.

VonBIOS females are X-Rayed for Hip and Elbow Dysplasia scoring assessment. They will or have been swabbed for Full DNA profiles.
