"Messi" Messi von Nord Traum OFA Excellent Hips & Normal Elbows @ 13 mos. DM Clear N/N MDR1: Clear N/N Color: Dominant Black Presenting a very unique addition to our program here at West Coast German Shepherds. We imported Messi along with her sister Meleina as puppies from their breeder overseas a little over three years ago. They are not only special in their solid black color being that they are of German showline blood, but with many VA dogs in their unique pedigree such as 2 time VA1 Vegas du Haut Mansard, VA2 Quenn vom Loher Weg, both of those VA dogs have been a part of our program before through Vegas' grandson our VA Randy vom Leithawald and Quenn's son our V1 Zamp von der Urbecke. And of course let me explain this rare dominant black color, so when bred to any typical black/red males they will produce solid black, black/red puppies. They both carry a gene inherited from their father and the generations behind him called "the dominant black gene consists of three different alleles, or variants. The first allele, which is dominant, is notated as "KB," or dominant black. The dominant black allele is actually a mutation that reduces or eliminates the expression of the agouti gene (A locus). To learn more about the agouti gene and the dominant black gene please visit www.animalgenetics.us . Because this mutation is dominant, a dog only needs to have one copy of the mutation to affect the agouti locus. If a dog is KB/KB or KB/n that means that they will be solid black in color. Both sisters exhibit excellent temperaments, they are great companions to our family and excellent guardians too. They both have excellent structure and movement. We are so excited for their future with us here, and can't wait to snuggle their little black puppies! Their first litters will finally arrive in early 2019 here at West Coast German Shepherds. ​ ​ Messi at 4 weeks Messi 3 months Messi at 12 weeks Messi 3 months Father: Rasmus von Nord Traum rasmusfinlandsg5 rasmusfinland 59939_Results_MessiDM 59940_Results_MessiCoat 59941_Results-1_Messi_Color 59941_Results-1_Messi_ColorPg2

Anchor 4 UC Davis German Shepherd Study Finds Early Neutering & Spaying Poses Health Risks for German Shepherd Dogs Quick Summary Neutering before 1 year of age triples risk of some joint disorders Urinary incontinence risks elevated in female dogs spayed before age 1 Previous studies also found early neutering risks for golden retrievers and Labrador retrievers https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/early-neutering-poses-health-risks-german-shepherd-dogs-study-finds/ ​ Renowned for their intelligence, obedience and loyalty, German shepherd dogs are often the preferred breed for police and military work, as well as popular service dogs and family pets. But as most handlers, breeders and veterinarians are aware, joint disorders are a big concern in these animals. A new study in the journal Veterinary Medicine and Science finds that neutering or spaying these dogs before 1 year of age triples the risk of one or more joint disorders — particularly for cranial cruciate ligament, or CCL, tears. “Debilitating joint disorders of hip dysplasia, CCL and elbow dysplasia can shorten a dog’s useful working life and impact its role as a family member,” said lead investigator Benjamin Hart, a distinguished professor emeritus in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. “Simply delaying the spay/neuter until the dog is a year old can markedly reduce the chance of a joint disorder.” Dog owners in the United States typically choose to spay or neuter their dogs prior to 6 months of age, in large part to prevent pet overpopulation or hoping to avoid unwanted behaviors. In Europe, however, neutering is generally avoided by owners and trainers and not promoted by animal health authorities, Hart said. During the past decade, some studies have indicated that spaying or neutering can have several adverse health effects for certain dog breeds. For example, a 2014 study published in PLoS ONE and also led by Hart, examined the health records of over 1,000 golden retrievers and found a surprising fourfold increase in one or more joint disorders associated with spay or neuter before 1 year of age. In the same paper, joint disorders in Labrador retrievers were found to be increased by just twofold in dogs spayed or neutered in the first year. For this current study, researchers examined veterinary hospital records over a 14.5-year period on 1,170 intact and neutered (including spayed) German shepherd dogs for joint disorders and cancers previously associated with neutering. The diseases were followed through 8 years of age, with the exception of mammary cancer in females, which was followed through 11 years. The dogs were classified as intact (not neutered), neutered before 6 months, neutered between 6 to 11 months, or neutered between 12 to 23 months and 2 to 8 years. Joint disorders and cancers are of particular interest because neutering removes male and female sex hormones that play key roles in important body processes such as closure of bone growth plates. Seven percent of intact males were diagnosed with one or more joint disorders, compared to 21 percent of males neutered prior to a year of age. In intact females, 5 percent were diagnosed with one or more joint disorders, while in females neutered prior to 1 year of age this measure was significantly increased to 16 percent. Mammary cancer was diagnosed in 4 percent of intact females compared with less than 1 percent in females neutered before 1 year of age. (The occurrence of the other cancers followed through 8 years of age was not higher in the neutered than in the intact dogs.) Urinary incontinence, not diagnosed in intact females, was diagnosed in 7 percent of females neutered before 1 year of age. “In addition to dogs suffering pain from joint disorders, the condition may also disqualify the dog as a working partner in military and police work,” Hart said. “We hope these findings provide evidence-based guidelines for deciding the right age to neuter a puppy to reduce the risk of one or more joint disorders.” Other researchers on this UC Davis study were: Lynette Hart and Abigail Thigpen, School of Veterinary Medicine; and Neil Willits, Department of Statistics. The research was supported by the Canine Health Foundation and donors to the Center for Companion Animal Health.

"Natalie" Natalie von der Westküste OFA Hips Good & Elbows Normal DM Clear N/N MDR1: Clear N/N Color: Dominant Black Natalie von der Westküste is very special to us, she is another third generation daughter of our most special motherlines. Her story began when we imported her beautiful great grandmother, our first and very special sable import female V1 Mousy von Dakota, IPO1, Angek. Mousy was bred in Germany prior to import to the well known and highly rated V1 Geromino vom Team Panoniansee, SchH3. Geronimo is known for his exquisite head, excellent structure and type, and most importantly his excellent protection work scoring 5/5 in the courage test at the German Sieger show. This cross brought us our wonderful first generation sable, V1 Goody von der Westkuste, IPO1, KKL1, and she was bred to the gorgeous German male VA (NL) Team Marlboro Kashmir IPO3. "Twosie" aka Imagoodytwo von der Westkuste, a UKC BOB winner was our keeper from that breeding. And Twosie produced the gorgeous moving Natalie von der Westkuste in one of her litters with our very special dominant black male "Tango" Tarantino vom Haus Tchorz. Natalie is an exquisite mover, with correct structure with no extremes. She has an excellent temperament, friendly and outgoing and and great protector of the property. She and her best friend Velvet are always together, usually being used as beds for our French Bulldogs.

"Kolja" V1 Kolja vom Bergmannsland IPO1, Angek. We are beyond blessed to have had three time VA Randy vom Leithawald join our family and breeding program here at West Coast German Shepherds in late 2014. Imported from Holland, Randy was bred by one of the top kennels in Austria, Leithawald. Sired by Austrian Sieger VA1 Yoker vom Leithawald, a son of two-time World Sieger VA1 Vegas du Haut Mansard. Randy's mother is V Ubi vom Leithawald, a top producing daughter of the great sire V6 (BSZS) Idol vom Holtkämper Hof and a granddaughter of VA1 Bax von der Luisenstraße. Having had over 40 breedings in Europe, Randy is a proven producer of great dogs with superb temperaments, excellent structure and dark pigment, as well as beauty and working ability. He carries with him an outstanding show record in the adult Working Class, having earned the Excellent Select rating of VA three times in Holland and Austria combined. He earned the rating of Excellent V at the prestigious German Sieger Show with a top placing of V40 of 170 dogs that competed in the total class/protection phase. He also had a very impressive show career as a young dog, with many SG1 placements and an SG2 placing at the Austrian Sieger Show along with the excellent placing of SG31 of 114 dogs that showed in the class. He showed promise as a young puppy placing VV2 in the Austrian Sieger Show and many other top placings in the puppy classes. Please check out his entire show record in the table below. We are so thrilled to have a dog of Randy's caliber join us as part of our program here at West Coast German Shepherds. We would like to thank his previous owner and handlers, Andre, Jan & Trijn for allowing us to purchase this amazing male. I am still pinching myself! We are looking forward to his future here and for his first U.S. litters to arrive in 2014 here at West Coast German Shepherds.

He produced many winning offspring that also did excellent on the Schutzhund/IPO field with excellent placings at Sieger shows in the working class.
