Our Approach to Breeding
At Atlas Kennels, we believe very strongly in only breeding dogs that are improving the German Shepherd breed, in particularly the white-coated GSD, in some manner. At this time, we do not breed our own litters but do offer stud service to approved bitches. When our females are bred, they are bred by their co-owners.
In order to ensure health, conformation, temperament and drives, all our breeding dogs are as follows:
- All breeding dogs are health tested - minimally we x-ray hips and elbows and test for MDR1. We also try to do cardiac testing and test for DM. In addition, we research the pedigrees of our dogs so we are knowledgeable about any potential genetic issues in the lines.
- All breeding dogs are shown in conformation and have achieved a championship in at least one registry. They must have proven over time (not just one show or one judge) that they can win in the conformation ring.
- All breeding dogs are trained in obedience and agility. Most will have achieved at least one performance title before breeding, but all will earn multiple performance titles over their lifetime.
- All breeding dogs have taken and passed their AKC Canine Good Citizen test.
- All breeding dogs have taken and passed a temperament test. We use both the German Shepherd Dog Club of America's temperament test (TC) and the American Temperament Test Society's temperament test (TT).
- After each breeding, the offspring of each dog are monitored. If issues arise in the offspring that are genetic in nature, we take them into account in deciding whether to breed the dog again.
All dogs we breed to (i.e females we offer stud service to) must have had hip and elbow x-rays and an MDR1 test. We may require additional accomplishments depending on the goal of the breeding and our familiarity with the breeder.
If you like our dogs, we highly recommend Eclipse Kennels. Atlas, Riffy, Nadia and Vegas all come from Eclipse and we co-own Nadia with them.
If you are looking for a puppy, email us and we can give you more direction on which breeders to talk to if none of our dogs have upcoming litters.
