My Ellie My Ellie is retired and the mother, grandmother and great-grandmother to many. At the age of 5 yrs old, My Ellie weighed 98 lbs (vet verified) and was 27" at the shoulders. She is now a happy 9 yrs old (2006), and is enjoying her retirement on the couch with her foster parents. Her only issue is that she LOVES to eat, and her foster parents always have her on a diet. We hope that My Ellie follows in her mothers footsteps with longevity. Her mother janda, just turned 13 yrs old, and she may be deaf, but she is still going strong. Update: Sadly My Ellie passed away at the age of 12.2 yrs old and is greatly missed by us and her foster family. Zoey Of Royalair German Shepherds Zoey joined our family in 1998 from Royalair German Shepherds in Iowa. She was a large girl at 88 lbs and 28" at the shoulders. She was a wonderful mama, and when bred to magnum produced some gorgeous huge babies. She was retired at the age of 6 1/2 yrs old, but sadly she passed away a few months later due to cancer. She is greatly missed by not only us, but her wonderful foster parents. We want to thank robin of royalair gsd's, for bringing zoey into our lives. Irene's Ellie (retired) Irene's Ellie is 28" at the shoulders and weighs 96.5 lbs (vet verified). She is a girl that is happy with everything in life, loves everyone and everything. Her foster parents, bob and tina said she was very easy to train, and loves nothing more than to please, yet she still shows protective instincts for her family and home. Irene's Ellie was retired in 2004 and is the grandmother and great-grandmother to many wonderful dogs who inherited her great qualities. Update: at 12 yrs of age Irene's Ellie is still doing great and in fact still takes long walks in the woods with her foster parents and they said she does take more breaks but is still quite active for her age. Rynska 5 1/2 yrs old Rynska is pictured at 5 1/2 yrs old is 26 1/2 inches at the shoulders and 91 lbs Rynska (now retired to the couch with her foster family, debbie/mike and their wonderful children) is from Kiesthaus kennels and she is the mother to Nakomis, Meika, Chloe and Sierra, and grandma to many. She is very outgoing, with a wonderful temperament and personality. She absolutely loves children and never leaves their side. Pictures was taken in her crate right after being spayed. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered when retired. Update: Rynska passed away quietly at home at the age of 11.8 yrs of age. She is greatly missed by us and her foster family. Her foster family have now adopted another foster girl and we are now waiting for her to grow up and hopefully join our breeding program in the near future (2012)
