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 keep in close contact with our puppy
buyers and assist in training/testing when possible. We do
this so we can have a good idea of 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
consider langhaars from the United States, Canada, and Germany that
will 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 by Dr. med. vet.

and be rated as A, B, or C.
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 |
