At present time instead of actively breeding, Sahiela German Shepherd Dogs is now concentrated on pedigree, bloodline, genetic, and especially color and pattern genetic research of the breed, and on preparing a wealth of historical photos, pedigrees, and other historical GSD material to make it available to all on the web.
Email address for Sahiela Pedigree & Genetic Research Department is now GSDGenetics@gmail.com
Photos and pedigrees of German Shepherd dogs of all colors are welcome and will be considered for addition to my websites. Historical breed books, magazines, zuchtbuchs, koerbuchs, studbooks, photos, pedigrees, etc are especially welcome for my GSD historical websites projects. Please email peds, photos, or details of submissions you wish to make via snail mail. If you wish to snail mail copies of photos, pedigrees, koerbuchs, zuchtbuchs, studbooks, breed videos, breed magazines, I will provide snail mail address via email.
Descendants of a number of Sahiela German Shepherd Dogs can be found in pedigrees of dogs and puppies at Raebark German Shepherd Dogs. You can visit Raebark at their own website Raebark's Website

OUR FOUNDATION DOGS, HISTORY, PICTURES, AND PEDIGREES
This page contains photos, history, and pedigrees of some of the foundation dogs for our bloodlines and other ancestors of our present dogs. These dogs all have contributed greatly to our producing physically and mentally correct, balanced animals that retain the character and versatility that the breed is noted for.

Click HERE to see our Color Genetic Research breedings.
High quality pups from these breedings are available for those who wish to have a wider range of color genetic potential for their breeding programs. These dogs and lines have been selected for their EXCELLENT TRACK RECORD IN NORMAL HIP PRODUCTION primarily, the opportunity to further color genetic study has been a "bonus on the side."
My hope is to track and publish my findings and photographic documentation on these breedings, since little has been written on color genetics from "hands on" experience and the tendency is for authors to merely repeat material others have written before them on the subject.
The color genetic research breedings have been done not only to study and document the effect and genetics of color, but also because there is an extremely high level of hip soundness in the outcross bloodlines that we incorporated into that program, a much higher percentage of sound hips than can be found in the majority of the German Shepherd Dog population in most American or German bloodlines.
If you have a dog or records of breedings involving color genetics, the contribution of your data would be most helpful to the study.
