This is the page of "Hadja vom Rosenhof".

By Martin Wahl


She has got to be one of the luckiest puppies in all of
north America,
because she got adopted by a true and realistic dog loving family that really know
how to bring out the best, without spoiling or ruining the puppy.

The following picture story is proof of the intelligence and versatility
that can be brought out of a single German Shepherd puppy (of pure working bloodlines)

if the puppy owner has the will and the skill.

The following pictures are proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that the dog owner "makes" the dog, the breeder only provides a puppy and not the dog it later becomes. A very special THANK YOU to Carol McMahon and her family in Rochester MI, for all those wonderful pictures, but especially for being such outstanding puppy owners (that many breeders can only dream to find for their puppies). This page is for you.

Pedigree of Hadja

Her parents

Her grand parents

The working bloodlines combined in this pedigree produced REAL super companion GSDs, as proven by the pictures below.

This is "Hadja vom Rosenhof" when she was 15 months old.

At right, Hadja with her mother when she was 7 weeks old.

  The maternal grand dam was: DDR import Inka vom Seewolf SchH1 daugther of Artus v.d.Westendhöhe SchH2 (5543/45) and Ira vom Andershofer Ufer FH1 (5446/44)

 

All of the following pictures are one and the same puppy: "Hadja vom Rosenhof".
This is prove that one REAL GSD can be: a therapy dog, a duck herding dog, a sheep herding dog, a water retrieving dog, AND an obedient companion that is easy to train, watchful, protective, calm, alert, good with children and cats, reliable, courageous, loyal, noble and healthy,
    all in one dog!

I'll dare anybody to repeat this picture, dressing up and positioning the dogs and then get them to wait for you to snap it, while holding on to that prickly stuff in their mouths.
That's REAL training!
