     Deutsch Langhaars vom Coraschatten

     Gundogs bred for feather, fur, and family.

  Breeding
We typically only breed one litter per year.  Because of the strict breeding standards for the breed, you can be sure that your langhaar will hunt, be a loving part of the family, and look nice doing it.  Our breeding priority is to produce superior gundogs with calm, cooperative demeanors.  We aim to produce dogs that even a first-time owner can train and handle.  Our dogs want to please you and training them should be easy.  We like to keep a puppy from each litter to train for ourselves so we know exactly what we are producing.

Since both of us have strong science backgrounds, we really like to think about genetics.  We spend a lot of time researching which breedings will produce the best puppies.  We feel that one of the main problems facing the Deutsch Langhaar is a small genepool...so you will notice that many of our breedings involve imported dogs or breedings to foreign dogs to increase genetic diversity within the breed in North America.  We carefully select langhaars from all over the world that match up with our personal breeding goals and those of the Deutsch Langhaar-Gruppe Nordamerika (DL-GNA; www.dl-gna.org) so not only does your Coraschatten puppy come from the finest hunting lines of Deutsch Langhaars in the world, but it will also be a superior gundog here in the varied terrain of the United States.  

The DL-GNA has very strict breeding standards that we adhere to. Before any dog can be bred, he/she must pass a VJP (natural ability test) and a HZP (advanced hunting test). These tests are held through the Verein Deutsch Drahthaar-Group North America (VDD-GNA, www.vdd-gna.org) and the JGV-USA (www.jgv-usa.org).  Please see the Training/Testing page on this website for more information.  Langhaars must have a team of breed judges rate the dog's type, coat, conformation, and temperament. Finally the hips must be evaluated and rated as A, B, or C through the Berlin Hip Certification Organization.

To recap, before Deutsch Langhaars can be bred (and subsequently have their litters registered), they must have:

* Passed a VJP
* Passed a HZP
* Good rated coat (minimum)
* Good rated confirmation (min.)
* Good rated type (min.)
* Balanced temperament
* A, B, or C hips
