Welcome to Rushlands German Shepherds

Welcome to Rushlands German Shepherds. I really hope you enjoy your visit to the web site, and that you like what you see and hear. Rushlands GSDs were bred with one main aim in mind. To produce thoughtfully bred puppies from trustworthy dogs, for permanent loving pet homes. I was notoriously careful where my pups went to, and for that I will make no apology. I wanted the best for them. I wanted to know that they were given every opportunity to develop into fulfilled and well adjusted examples of this noble breed.

Our dogs and bitches were always been hip-scored under the BVA/ KC scheme, and stud dogs only used if haemophilia tested. We are not breeding for the forseeable future.

I have been fortunate enough in the forty years I have lived among Shepherds, to meet and own some extraordinary dogs. As a child, Shootersway Kodama and Torenia Lenin completed the family home. In my early twenties, Timberwolf of Andale became my soulmate, and a number of years later, the awesome Smokey Blue Wanderer at Myter came into my world, and changed everything for me.

The first two dogs mentioned were shortcoat black and tans. The second two were long coat blues. To me personally, it made no odds. These four dogs exemplified, to me, the real qualities which makes the GSD so unique and so special. Each of them gave me his heart, his trust and his companionship. Each moved with precision, power, grace and ease. Each had real nobility and dignity. I loved each of them to bits. We have produced blues in the past but will not do so again.

My passion for longcoats was born with my ownership of Timber. (Timberwolf of Andale). He worked alongside me in a home for troubled adolescents for about eight of his years. He was known and respected for this, throughout our local Social Services. He never let me down, he was adored by everyone, and he gave love and stability to children who had known almost none. He was unique. He was bred by Mrs Annette Dinsdale, now of Netis Spinone. Timber's parents, Blue Skye of Loboas and Blue Denim of Loboas came from Mrs Frances Hill of Loboas GSDs. Sadly, neither Annette, nor Frances breed GSDs anymore. But it was their dogs, and their passion which pointed me in the direction I chose for many years.

I wish you well in your search for your puppy.
