police K-9 units.
The
majority of the puppies bred at Alkarah are sold as pets, but over the
years numerous Alkarah dogs have achieved advanced obedience titles.
They have also become search and rescue dogs, forensic recovery dogs,
therapy dogs, and canine good citizens, while others have been involved
in agility, herding, tracking, schutzhund, and a number are working in
police K-9 units.
All
the dogs at Alkarah that are kept for breeding or showing are x-rayed
at six to eight months of age for their preliminary OFA evaluation, and
then x-rayed again for permanent OFA certification when they are old
enough. The puppies that are not show quality are sold only to good
loving qualified pet homes. We are fortunate to have developed a
reputation over the years for selectively breeding quality animals and
enjoy a clientele who will wait for one of our puppies rather than go
elsewhere. As an AKC licensed judge of German Shepherd Dogs, Karin
attempts to select dogs that exhibit the same characteristics that we
breed for - structurally correct German Shepherd Dogs with sound
outstanding temperaments.
