Welcome to the web-site of Schwarzer Hund (Black Dog) German Shepherds. Located in beautiful, rural, east-central Alabama near Auburn University and just thirty minutes from the Alabama/Georgia Border, we breed and train German Shepherd Dogs and other working breeds for; working, protection, family, sport (schutzhund) and companionship. Our dogs have been selected from solid, mainly working, German (including DDR) and Czech bloodlines. After thoroughly researching the breed we have selected lines and dogs in an attempt to reproduce in both appearance & working ability, the "altdeutscher," or old-style German Shepherd Dog, while still adhering to the confines of the GSD breed standard.

An open letter to potential clients from Robert G. Whitlock,
the owner/operator of Schwarzer Hund GSD L.L.C.
The focus of our breeding program is to produce balanced dogs capable of work.
Our intent is not to produce black and tan clones of mainly ornamental
value, but rather tractable, reliable, good natured dogs with working ability.
We have had great success by blending German and Belgian show lines with German
and Eastern European working lines producing excellent family, companion and
working dogs that simultaneously have both the propensity for work
characteristically found in working line shepherds and the stable temperament
and beauty of the show line dogs.
We aptitude test all of our pups at seven weeks of age. We consistently get balanced pups, with our males usually testing out in the 2s and 3s and our
females in the 3s and 4s (using the Volhard aptitude test with a 1-6 scale—1
being the most independent and dominant and 6 being the most submissive and
needy). We work our own dogs—including most all of our breeding stock—in
whatever discipline they happen to be gifted in. Some of our dogs
track (SAR, suspect tracking, explosives, and narcotics— using both ground
and air scenting). Some undergo bite work and protection training. Others are
trained in advanced obedience with an eye toward service or therapy work.
Finally, though we focus on real world disciplines with our dogs, some dogs use all
of the above abilities in sport.
Regarding the protocols we have put in place for breeding our litters: We
utilize bio-feedback techniques and the mild-stressing of neonatal pups-- first
developed by the U.S. military in their post Vietnam War “super dog” program.
We do not just pay lip service to socialization, as we believe that it is key
to producing outstanding puppies. Using simple operant conditioning we pair
early feeding to whistling, so even our four-five week old pups can reliably be
recalled and directed with a whistle. We acclimate our puppies to loud noises
(gunfire, power equipment, etc). We introduce them to different surfaces,
people, animals and environments. They are accustomed to climbing stairs and
navigating other obstacles. We encourage the development of their native
intelligence by offering them problem solving challenges and daily
opportunities to explore the environment beyond their kennel.
I hope this serves as a good introduction to what we are about. Thank you for
your interest in Schwarzer Hund GSD, and feel free to call or email with any questions
or concerns you might have. I look forward to the opportunity of working with
you to get the best possible pup or adult dog for you and your family or
workplace.
Sincerely,
Robert
