MondouCu Males

The male German Shepherd Dog should exude strength.  He should be confident and alert with the initial appearance of dignity. He should be serious when needed, yet gregarious when out playing with his family. He should be highly responsive, intensely in tune and completely balanced.  He should never be shy or aggressive to those he has been introduced to and he must be able to distinguish the difference between friend and foe with an innate ability held only by dogs. 

We welcome you to meet our males, to enjoy their confidence, their stability and their unwavering devotion.

“Endy”

Endy is a Kato x Kiaya son and in 2008 he entered our breeding program (a little late, but he’s my friend above everything else and I wanted a friend MORE than I wanted a breeding dog).  Endy is an amazing German Shepherd Dog, completely at ease in the world.  In 2007, Endy gently took the alpha position from his father and has been “in charge” since.  He is even tempered, calm, charismatic, loving, completely devoted and above all else - his demeanor is that of “Bob Marley”. He is one of the greatest gifts I could have ever received from Kato & Kiaya.  Everyone who meets Endy falls in love with him - he is truly an amazing creature that I adore. If you have the opportunity, you should come and visit him, he really is one of a kind.

“Gus”

Gus is our class clown, always trying to get someone to laugh and simply enjoy life - yet he is keenly aware of those around him that are not to be trusted, and can turn from a playful clown into a serious protector in the blink of an eye.  His stable temperament and easy-going disposition make him welcome my many that would often shy away from a German Shepherd. His structure is completely correct, without being extreme on either the working or show side, yet he works diligently and shows well.  He is a character and passes this along to his children.  He does not carry for the coat factor.  Gus is SAR & Narcotics trained.  He is genetically sound.  He has good bone, not refined and not too heavy and his amazing zest for life brings an amazing balance to his children that we completely treasure.  Thank you Gunnery Sergeant and Dusty Gallegos of ShaTaHa K-9 for this rare find.

“Levi”

Levi is a West German Showline male that joined our family in February 2010. We have watched him grow and learn and have incorporated him into our breeding program.  He is a larger male with a solid focus and a jovial attitude that we expect to pass along to his progeny. He is strong willed and pretty intense.  We will update more as he grows with us.

“Amonte”

Amonte is a Gus x Dar son. He is a fun loving, outgoing male with a well balanced temperament. He is a willing learner and an imposing presence with the balance of loyalty, familial adoration, structural integrity and high intensity.  Amonte reminds us more and more every day of his Grandfather, Kato.  He is very typical of a “Gardus” male we adore him. We have decided to bring him into our breeding program, he will produce active, alert confident children with a strong devotion to family.  Amonte is a great herding dog and we will continue to work with him. Amonte is a carrier for the black and coat factor.

MondouCu Females

The female German Shepherd Dog should exude passion. Her love for life, her natural possessive tendencies and her grace should shine.  She shall be kind, attentive and loyal - her pups early development depends solely upon her ability to be the best.  The temperament of the female GSD must be exquisite.  There can be no doubt in your mind that the dam of your pup is mentally sound. More information can be found about each female by clicking on her photo.

We welcome you to meet our females, enjoy their sound temperaments and passion for life.

“Ellie”

Ellie is a Kato x Kiaya daughter.  She is a dominant female, passionate mother and probably our most manipulative female.  She is brilliant, completely intense and stunningly graceful.  She is Dawn’s girl and although obedient, she is wickedly naughty and the world’s greatest puppy thief. She is a strong nurturing mother, teaching her pups to have extreme handler focus and keen minds.

“Aine” (Ahn-ya)

Aine is a Kato x Kiaya daughter. She is the sweetest girl you could meet. She is her “boy’s” companion, tagging along with him from parks to schools when they were young to bonfires and teenage gatherings now that they are older. She is always willing to do her boy’s bidding at any time - she is his “ultimate companion”.  She is a loyal and devoted mother, teaching her pups to be just as loyal and devoted.

“Dar”

Dar is a Kato x Kiaya daughter.  She truly believes that the entire world revolves around love, passion and play.  She is Lori’s girl. She is willful and sly without being difficult to manage. She wants to please, yet remains an independent soul that gracefully steals your heart and distracts you from your daily work with her fun loving antics. She is a compassionate mother, teaching her pups independence from the beginning.

“Tori”

Victoria aka: “Tori” is our zest.  She is pushy, she is dominant, she is fire and she is a delight.  She is intensely focused not only upon the job or game she is playing but also upon the handler. Her movement is glorious.  She captivates anyone willing to spend time with her.  Aloof, yet friendly; drivy, yet clear headed. She is passion through and through.  She is a strong mother, producing strong pups that become confident dogs at a very early age.

“Heli” (An-hel-iKA)

Angelica aka: “Heli” is a Gus x Dar daughter.  She is pure love. She is confident, outgoing, willful and has amazing structure.  She is the perpetual class clown like her father, the life of the party and a social butterfly like her mother. Attentive and loyal without being needy or clingy - she is as she is named - part angel & part hellion  

“Moira” (moy-RA)

If ever there were and everywhere dog, this is her!  Moira is Dawn’s shadow, affectionately known around here as “the punky princess”.  She is incredibly social, intensely handler focused and well adjusted. She is confident & dominant, yet is exceptionally quick to diffuse. She is a die-hard mother, a tireless companion and a trusted confidant.

“Samba”

Samba is our dedicated “ice queen”, she is arrogant, cool and not one to make friends readily.  She is loyal and faithful to friends, teasing us all into her games with whichever toy is nearest. Once allowed into her inner circle, Samba will show off her “giggle butt” a constantly wagging entire hind end.  She is an excellent mother and raises pups to be confident yet cautious. 

“Liz”

Liz is our fire: amped, ramped and ready to go.  She is intensity and drive in an explosive dynamite package.  She is completely focused on any and all tasks she is given and is completely devoted to Lori.  Liz is always ready to take any and every task to the next level and is always ready to move out.  Liz has produced pups that we are exceptionally pleased with. Make no mistake, this girl is amazing!

“Aspen”

Aspen is an Ellie x Jake (outside male) daughter.  She is outgoing and fun-loving yet she takes her job as guardian seriously. She is exceptionally well balanced in mind, temperament, and structure and we expect she will be much like her mother with pups.

“Brigid”

Brigid is a Gus x Dar daughter.  She is exceptionally well structured with good bone, correct angles, beautiful movement - her temperament is super stunning and as if that is all not enough... she has a nice strong grip.  Unfortunately, Brigid’s ear was broken by the older girls while she was out playing at 9 months - but sometimes that is what happens when you are playing rough.

“Nahinni” (na-HE-ni)

“He-knee” as we affectionately call her, is a Kovaya x Dar daughter. She has exquisite structure, she is extremely well balanced and she is intensely loyal and affectionate to those she loves. She is a beautiful balance of work and show lines in a coated bitch and we look forward with great anticipation to her pups - who, like her grandfather, we expect to reset the bar for many. 

“Dia”

“Dia” is a stunning little bi-color bitch who we are currently getting to know.  She is a beautiful mover with a ton of personality and lust for life.  She is cautious of strangers and is melding well with our crew. We look forward to seeing Dia grow more with us to determine more of who she is. 

Eyes on the future.

We are always keeping our eye on the future, breeding a better litter than the one before is our constant goal. With this in mind, we always have our eyes on the future.  Before now, we have always kept our future stars to ourselves, but we thought we would share, so you can enjoy.

Gone But Never Forgotten...

“Kato”

Kato is our foundation male, a strong, completely reliable male that has been an astonishing dog throughout his life. He is confident in every aspect.  He has been trained in Schutzhund, he is a proficient water rescue dog, he is an exceptionally reliable tracker & trailer. Kato has volunteered with SAR teams and Special Olympics - working with both Autistic and Down Syndrome children. He carries the coat factor. He continues to work with us, even in his retirement and we are so thankful to Gunnery Sergeant and Dusty Gallegos of ShaTaHa K-9 for this amazing dog - he has been everything we could have wanted and more.  Kato has reset the bar for many through his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and we know his influence will continue to touch the lives of families wanting a stable German Shepherd for generations to come.

“Kiaya” (kEYE-yah)

Kiaya has crossed over the rainbow bridge and we are certain she is waiting there patiently for us.  We only asked Kiaya for one litter and she gave us 11 glorious pups - we maintain 4 in our breeding program, one is a friend and assistant dog to a now retired breeder and the others are living their lives with their families.
