> Her Pedigree <
Ember is a well-established and valued member of our breeding program, bringing together striking beauty, thoughtful lineage, and a consistently wonderful temperament. She is a gorgeous liver fawn long coat who carries blue. A fawn is a variation of sable, and Ember’s coloring features a rich liver mask with a warm tan/red body, while still retaining the ability to produce traditional German Shepherd markings.
Ember has beautiful, old-fashioned straight-back structure with balanced movement and athletic ability. Her pedigree includes an imported grandsire from the United Kingdom, adding depth and diversity to her lineage.
Temperament is where Ember truly shines. She is exceptionally sweet, joyful, and affectionate, with a genuine zest for life. She loves hiking, playing in the water, and staying active, but she is equally content to slow down, cuddle up, and enjoy quiet time with her people. This natural balance makes her easy to live with and deeply connected to her family.
Ember is highly food motivated, eager to please, and a joy to work with. She is attentive, focused, and responsive—traits that translate beautifully both into daily life and into the puppies she produces.
Ember has also earned her AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title, reflecting her steady temperament, trainability, and reliability in real-world settings.
Ember has already proven herself through previous litters, consistently passing on her stable temperament, sound structure, and happy, people-focused nature. She resides in a carefully selected guardian home, where she is cherished as a family companion while continuing to play an important role in our breeding program. She is approaching retirement and we have one more thoughtfully planned litter for her in 2026. We look forward to keeping a puppy back from her to carry on her legacy.
We are incredibly proud to have Ember as part of our breeding program and look forward to the legacy she continues to build through the dogs she produces.
