Today we opened up a new page for our puppy "Macho". He is a progeny of Olympia and Gino. In the first 8 weeks he developed into a beautiful and very big puppy and most of all he developed into a little "Macho". First we had plans to keep him for ourselves, but we do have little "Lucky" at this time to raise, so we thought it would be best for someone to have him, who does have the time for him to bond with him and raise him with love and discipline, which we think, he does need. We believe, that he needs to be in the hands of someone with experience when it comes to puppies with a strong character, which we believe "Macho" has.

When Dagmar decided for this combination Olymia/Gino she wished for puppies with the kind of looks and body structure Macho has. Unfortunately his one brother and one sister did not make it due to the fact, that all three puppies were so big at the time of birth. Maybe next time - most likely we will have one more litter with our Olympia in 2017 - we will have more luck and not so big puppies will be born.

Andreas, our long time friend, we thought was this person, who would be able to guide "Macho". Since the loss of his beloved Barrett named "Simon" last year, he did not want to have another dog of his own anymore, besides his "Charly", but when he seen "Macho" for the first time a few days ago, he fall in love with him right away. The bond between them two was there from the first minute they met. Andreas, just like Hundemama loves the kind of dogs which do challenge their owners and they both believe, that Macho is one of them. Macho did get along with his elderly dog "Charly" right away, so there was nothing in the way for "Macho" to move in with Andreas and Marion.

Both of them agreed, that "Macho" will be primarly their family dog and if happens that he will have the qualities to become a "sire", Andreas will do everything for him to accomplish the requirements of our club SV.

Andreas and Hundemama both know, that it is extremely important for Macho to grow up slowly, which means to keep his weight down and to make sure, that the puppy will not get too much exercise, that he will not be trained at any dog place until he is full grown and that he will not play with other dogs too wild. Especially we see these kind of wild play when owners take their puppies to these puppy meetings. Too many different puppies play together and injuries can easily happen. We do not believe in this. There is always danger to a puppy as well, when another dog is in the house. Especially a young dog. A young dog loves to play and will animate the puppy to play along and in most cases the play will be too rough for a puppy for his soft joints.

From now until Macho has grown up we will update this page with new pictures from time to time .

Lots of pictures were made of Macho already during his first 10 weeks. Enjoy!

Update in 2020: Gino`s son Macho and Tyson`s grandson has developed into an extreme beautiful and masculine looking sire. His coat did get exremely long over the past year. He also has a beautiful "lyon mane" just like his grandfather Tyson used to have. If everything goes according to our plans, he will be the sire of one of our dams in 2020. He has everything what we are looking for in a GSD, especially his temperament. He goes regularly with his owner to an old people`s home and they truly enjoy him. Our Gino can be proud of this son

In the near future we will open up a new page for this beautiful new sire

June 22nd, 2017

Congratulations for the best HD- and ED-results. Thanks to Andreas for being so careful in raising his big dog Macho. He made sure, that Macho did not get over exercised, kept his food under control according to my feeding schedule and made sure, that he did not play with youngsters in his age to prevent him getting hurt. Too often owners of GSD do not take enough care of these things and often let them run around with other dogs in the house. It can become really dangerous when littermates are together. They should be seperated and only allowed to play when someone is there to watch them.

"Macho vom Team Barrett", a son of Olympia and Gino"

Macho has developed in a very nice youngster. He is 10 months old

Great dog with high play drive and a wonderful family dog. Andreas is taken him to swim sessions twice a week, which is the best exercise for his bones and joints. View short video clips on YouTube. Just copy the links and put it into your browser

Here we see Macho in action. It looks more dangerous, then it actually is. He is barking at his ball. On this picture Macho is 9 months old

Here we see Macho, while he is resting on his favorite couch. GSD are great family dogs and at the same time are great protection dogs, if treated with respect and love
