This is Aky ...

He was born on February 3, 1998 in Missoula Montana. I had the privilege of being there when he was born and being able to watch him, along with his brothers and sisters, grow. I even got to help bottle feed him a couple of times. What an experience! Just one of the great advantages of finding a local breeder.

From the moment he was born I knew there was something special about him and although at the time I was not looking for a new puppy I knew I would see him again some day. When he was 8 weeks old he moved to Washington to be with his family and start his schutzhund career. He spent 6 very happy months there; but tragically his owner lost her battle with cancer and Aky moved back in with his breeder while he looked for a new home. It didn't take long for me to realize this was fate and the two of us were simply meant to be together.

Aky is a dark sable of medium build. He has tons of drive and just loves to work. He is easy going and has a tremendous desire to please. I often call him my happy boy because his tail is always wagging. He is out of German working lines; linebred on the "E" litter Korbelbach (5-4). The first four generations of his pedigree contain 17 dogs that have either been in the BSP or have produced dogs that were. We have had fun training for Schutzhund, AKC/UKC obedience, AKC tracking, and agility. We also enjoy backpacking, skijoring and playing with his planet ball in the back yard.

While he is retired from any formal competition now he hasn't slowed down very much. He still loves to chase the cat, play with his sister, go hiking, tracking and just hang out with his people. His tail is still always wagging and he's eager to go and do whatever, whenever. He has been and continues to be everything a German Shepherd Dog ought to be. Thank you Annie for trusting me withthis very special boy.
