Old West Shepherds is currently focused on developing our breeding line through females, and do not
house any stud dogs at the moment. However, we have access to some high quality studs
that are owned by people with whom we train our dogs. This allows us to choose the
right stud for the right female to produce great litters. Below are some of the stud
dogs we have used or will use in future breedings.

a product of Karmen's breeding lines that produced some phenomenal dogs including Capone's
father, Andante Von Der Vogel Haus.
