If you want a German Shepherd puppy out of a specific pair put down a deposit early, as most of our litters are sold before they are born. Remember - ALL of our litters are born in a family environment. None of our dogs live in kennels. 50 years of raising GSD.
litters go out from northern CA but we make deliveries all over the US.
Note: our dogs live with families in CA, and Arkansas. NO dogs live in kennels. We do not sell to breeders. Every dog in our breeding program is a dearly loved family member.
All our girls are classic, flat backed, health tested dogs with incredible temperaments. Always good hips and DM tested.
Embark tested with full health panels.
Zara at 8 months; our Lizzy/ Royal daughter. aka Amethystos OFA good, Embark clear. Amazing pups from her!
Josie is a 4th generation Black Magic girl, daughter of Muz and Echo. She is a wonderful service dog who is kind and gentle and has a good sense of humor. Loves the donkey, the cats, and of course kids. She has passed her penn hip and Embark tests. She is going to make some incredible pups!
Litters we are taking deposits on now.
Zara is bred for fall pups. Her list is pretty full but she usually has a big litter so we will take 2 more deposits. These will be big dogs with sweet temperaments. Zara pups are $4000. If you want a Black Magic dog we would advise getting on this list, we are definitely retiring early 2027.
Zara is bred to Bastion who is a big male with an exceptionally good temperament. He is fun, uncomplicated, very affectionate and playful. His pups are confident and have their sire's sweet nature and desire to please. We have one of them, our 1 1/2 year old boy Todd, who is just an exceptional dog. Neutral, sweet, and a great dog to have in your tent for protection. (literally!). Bastion's sire is a silver sable UKC champion. Of course they have have good hips, are DM clear and Bastion is Embarked clear. We expect some great colors from this litter!
We will have the Zara litter this year then we are largely retiring. Our Muz daughter Josie has passed her tests and is a fabulous dog, so we may breed her once. We may breed Zara one last time in 2027. Zara 2027 pups will be $5000, we cannot bear the costs of all the prices increasing for us especially with 3 adults devoting their life to each litter. That will be the end tho - a lifetime of producing great dogs is hard to quit but alas we are growing old and need to put this to bed.
Don't miss out on your chance to get one of the fantastic Black Magic dogs. You will never find GSD like this again. We have devoted 50 years of our lives to producing the best family GSD possible - pups that grow up to take care of your kids, be excellent service and therapy dogs, are intuitive and empathetic. They have good noses, will herd, make great search and rescue dogs. They have raised a thousand kids, including ours.
As always, every dog in our breeding program has good hips, elbows, and clear Embark DNA results.
Josie is gentle with the tiniest of kittens!
Black Magic's Patton - he is a 5 month old son of Zara and Gabriel. Huge with an outstanding temperament!
91 lbs at 6 months
Our BMGSD stud ECHO He is a big, gorgeous family protector. SO classic!! He is also a service dog.
Echo is a service dog, as are Muz, Fireball, and Josie. All of our breeding dogs are neutral temperaments, so hard to find in many GSD lines.
