🚨 The G x Lord litter has arrived! 🐾

We are excited to announce that G x Lord welcomed 5 beautiful puppies — 3 females and 2 males.

In these photos, you’ll see one of G’s newborn puppies, followed by one of Uli x Lord’s puppies being held. These two Lord litters are only 12 days apart, giving us the rare opportunity to raise two exceptional breedings side by side this summer.

This is one of those moments where timing, pedigree, and opportunity all line up.

With both Uli x Lord and G x Lord now on the ground, we have two outstanding Lord breedings here at Red Rock K9 at the same time. For families who have been waiting for the right opportunity to reserve a trained Red Rock K9 puppy, this is it.

Lord II Anrebri is a rare and accomplished dog, holding his IGP3 working title along with the prestigious Český šampion krásy title — Czech Champion of Beauty. He became only the second sable German Shepherd in the Czech Republic to achieve that title, following a dog in his ancestry who earned the same honor 15 years earlier.

These litters bring together strong working-line genetics, proven character, correct structure, and the foundation we believe in so strongly here at Red Rock K9.

Now the fun begins — watching these puppies grow, build confidence, develop their foundations, and move toward becoming the next graduating classes of Red Rock K9 puppies.

For the right families, this is a special opportunity to get in at the beginning and follow the journey from newborn puppies to trained Red Rock K9 graduates.

Late-summer homecomings are ahead. The time to reserve is now.
