Our dam "Bacira vom Team Barrett" comes from our 5th generation mother line. Bacira is a direct daughter of our meanwhile almost 13 year old senior "Orca", who is still going fine according to her age. Just like her mother Queeny, grandmother Cindy and great-grandmother Ondi, Bacira is a special female with all qualities of a "true" House-Barrett" dog. Bacira and her sister came out of the last Orca litter before Orca retired. Dog Mom had decided to keep Bacira because she looked very similar to her mom Orca even as a puppy. An extremely strong build puppy with an alert expression and a very open nature. At that time, dog mama had specifically chosen the father male "v. Chickhoff Uran", who distinguished himself through his extremely good nature.

Bacira has already offsprings. Some of her progeny for example can be viewed here

Last year we also had puppies from Bacira and our beautiful Champ as the father. We were very pleased with their development.

This time we decided for a new breeding partner, for the meanwhile already 7 year old sire "Yazoo vom Haus Barrett". To find a male for Bacira is not that easy. She does not like every male. Since Bacira and Yazoo grew up together during their first year (Yazoo is living with anoone of our friends), they became very good friends. They still like each other, so we are hoping that the breeding was successful.

Now a few more words about the sire Yazoo:

Not only does he come from a famous bloodline here in Germany, the "Vegas line", he also comes from the Tabaluga-Yakko-line and if we look at his Mom, his Dad Yakko and his sisters and brothers, we see, how much expession each of these dogs have. Yazoo has an exceptional sound temperament, he loves children is good to everyone, also gets along with other male dogs as we can see on pictures of our annual hike. He also loves to perform at the training place. Now at his home there is a young child now with whom he became close friends. Just an amazing dog. If we look at his face, we can see by his expression, what a wonderful dog he is. If you see him running in the ring, you may think, he is flying. Geat movements!

Progeny of Yazoo can be viewed on following pages: Enza-Yazoo and Bella-Yazoo . Out of the first combination we kept the dog "Gwendi". Meanwhile she is enriching our breeding program with exceptional progeny. Please view Gwendi`s progeny here

Since Bacira also has such a sound temperament we do expect puppies with a very nice temperament, puppies who love to interact with humans and other animals, if raised the proper way. We cannot say it often enough, the socialization of a puppy throughout the first year is the most important part in their lifes. If treated fair and with a good guidance they will be someones friend forever. Puppies have to get out every day to meet people, other animals, get challenged, not just be kept at the house or in the yard. This is very important for their development. Our puppies will come with a very good "basic" of upbringing, raised with love and care. It is up to the owner to continue a good upbringing.

This litter originally was planned in fall of 2023. Since we do have a "horse-patient" at the moment, it will be very difficult for us to go on long vacations this summer, so we decided on these litters. Since the weather in spring and summer is much better, then it is in fall, we will especially enjoy raising these puppies.

Not only this above litter is planned, we also plan at least one more litter, maybe even two, since both of the dams, which we plan these litters with, are not the youngest anymore. In fact both dams will retire at the end of this year. As soon as we have news to announce, we will do so on this page.

Last Monday our Enza girl gave birth to one female for the last time!

With this girl she will retire, hopefully Enza will be like her Mom "Orca" and reaches a high age!

Some day the time will come when one or the other dam will have to "retire". This is now the case with our two dams, Enza and Gina. Both will now have puppies for the last time. We know already, that we will enjoy raising each and every Enza and also Gina puppies - if Gina is carrying - for the last time. For this upcoming litter with our Enza, which by the way is the half-sister to Barica presented above - we decided to repeat the E-litter with hope that the little ones will again have the super relaxed nature of Dad Champ and the funny attributes of Mom Enza. In the past five years, Enza had given birth to some - extraordinary - puppies. Just recently, Enza-Herros offspring celebrated their fifth birthday.


Enza is the daughter of Tyson and for that reason alone she is special to us. When we think about her "retirement" we do get tears in our eyes. We hope, however, that we can spend many more happy years with her, just as we have done with her Mom Orca over the past years. She will be celebrating her 13th birthday tomorrow.

Now we will introduce Mom Enza on this page for the last time.

Just like her Mom Orca Enza is a special dog. Our almost 13 year old senior Orca had been taken out of our breeding program five years ago and with her daugher Enza we are in the 5th generation of motherline of House Barrett since Hundemama started to breed in 1996. Families who have an offspring of her Mom Orca or her sister Cheyenne know what we are talking about, when we say, they are such funny and special dogs. They always have a surprise for us humans. Enza is such a smart girl, opens doors, likes to jump up and walks on two feet - she did at the World Championship Show of the SV in 2016 -, she likes to give kisses to the judge while they try to get her size. Sometimes we really have to laugh when we see her acting up like that. She loves to play with Lucky, her half brother and always wants to show him, that "she is the boss".

Years ago her Dad Tyson had to put her in place at times, when she got too wild and fresh.


But when she's chilling in front of the couch, she's the calmest German Shepherd in the world. Now at an advanced age she has also calmed down a bit. Oh, we almost forgot, she likes to watch TV. Hard to believe, but she follows the pictures, regardless if she sees animals or humans on TV. Her watching TV we did post on our facebook page not too long ago. What is really interesting, that she does inherit this attribute of hers to some of her offsprings.


Finding a suitable breeding partner for Enza is not always easy, as she is already a lively girl. Her breeding partner should be more relaxed and laid back. He should be strong-boned and masculine. He should have a nice mask with a masculine head and not be quite so "crazy" as she is

As we mentioned above she is the half sister of "Lucky" and "Gino". They all have the same DAD, our deceased beautiful TYSON!

Enza just turned eight years. So the time has come to take her out of the breeding program after this litter and have her enjoy the youngsters and all other animals at House Barrett.

We did have very nice progeny of her in the past six years. Here is a link to her first progeny!

The following year we decided for our "Herros" to be her partner. We were absolutely right, that Enza and Herros make a good match. The outcome was great. Beautiful dogs with extreme good bone structure and beautiful pigmentation. Not only nice looking dogs, also very smart and playful and healthy. We only received positive feedback from the owners of an Enza puppy. View progeny of Enza and Herros here

Almost four years ago we decided for a new breeding partner, for our sire "Yazoo vom Haus Barrett". Again very promissing puppies were born. We did keep little Gwendi and since two years Gwendi does enrich our breeding program as well, especially with the sire "Champ".

The following year after the Gwendi-litter was born, we decided to breed Enza to our at that time newcomer sire "Champ vom Team Barrett", a son of "Buddy vom Kuckucksland". Again very beautiful and healthy puppies we had raised. Meanwhile they developed into very nice adult dogs. Out of this litter some had been x-rayed and came out only with good results.

Therefor we decided for this last Enza-litter for our beautiful and so laid back sire "Champ". Just yesterday we uploaded a very nice picture of him with three of his offspring on our newspage and meanwhile can be viewed on facebook as well.

We did wait with this announcement of this upcoming litter until we knew for sure, that Enza is carrying. This is not usual, if a dam is getting up in age. Now we do know for sure, that Mom Enza is expecting, so the time has come to introduce the parents of this last Enza-litter.

We hardly cannot wait for them to arrive!

Note: The time has also come for our Gina to have puppies for the last time, before she does retire. We do not know for sure at this time if she is carrying. If she is, we do not expect many puppies, so we have decided not to announce this Gina litter on this page at this moment. We will wait either with the introduction of the parents or the announcement of the fallen litter - if she is carrying - at a later time. Then of course we also will introduce the sire of this last Gina last litter.

Remark:

Each of our pup was raised with love and care. We take our breeding program very serious, we take our time in selecting a pup for each family. A breeder can only do this, if he or she spends many hours with the puppies during the first 8 weeks. We do only place our puppies in loving homes with responsible owners, where the dog can be part of the family. Anybody who has this love, knowledge and responsibility for this breed we would love to get in contact with. Just write an email to us, we will give you all the information you need.

On our site "Testimonials" you can read letters, which families had sent us to share with everyone, who is interested in purchasing a pup from our house.
