What is the difference between working line and show line German Shepherds?
The working line is selected for work — robust build, broad neck, natural drive and balanced temperament. The show line is bred for ring aesthetics. Canil Gelbes Wasser has bred exclusively working line dogs with German and police genetics since 2001.
Is a working line German Shepherd good for a farm or rural property?
Yes — it is well suited to rural properties. Rugged build, physical endurance, natural guarding instinct and excellent adaptation to open terrain, fields, farms and large areas. Canil Gelbes Wasser puppies are especially sought after by farmers and rural property owners.
Is the working line German Shepherd aggressive with the family?
No. We select for a balanced, family-oriented temperament, and our dogs live well with children and adults. Like any guardian breed, they need socialization, training and supervision around children. Their protective instinct is natural and controlled, not uncontrolled aggression.
How much does a working line German Shepherd puppy cost?
From US$ 1,500 for the standard litter (Odin × M-Killer) and from US$ 2,000 for the elite litter (Odin × Tina), international reference prices for males and females; the final price may vary by puppy, litter and demand. Joining the waiting list is free; when the litter is born, list order is pick order and a 1/3 deposit confirms the puppy.
Do Canil Gelbes Wasser puppies have a pedigree?
Yes. All puppies have a pedigree registered with ALKC and CBPA, with a verified 4-generation genealogy that includes competition champions and police dogs.
Does Canil Gelbes Wasser deliver puppies internationally?
Yes. Within Brazil we arrange kennel pickup, land transport with partner pet taxis or air shipping at each airline's minimum age, and assisted international delivery on request — transport costs covered by the buyer.
Is the working line German Shepherd suitable for property security?
Yes. The working line has natural guarding instinct, an intimidating presence and territorial alertness without forced training. It is widely chosen by police officers, military personnel and owners seeking real security.
How big are Canil Gelbes Wasser working line German Shepherds?
Canil Gelbes Wasser dogs are known for their distinctive build: broad neck, robust structure and dense body — visually distinct from show dogs. They are rugged, with a strong head and a constitution ideal for outdoor life on farms and rural properties.
Why is the international price different from the Brazilian domestic price?
The international reference (from USD 1,500 in the Americas and from EUR 1,300 in Europe) differs from the Brazilian domestic floor of the standard litter (from R$ 5.000) because it includes export preparation and dedicated international buyer support. In every market, transport is quoted separately, in writing, before the deposit.
Can the puppy be trained before or after delivery?
The puppy goes home from 60 days of age when picked up at the kennel (abroad, at the age the destination requires), not yet trained: at that age the foundation comes from genetics and the socialization done at the kennel. For owners who want more, the kennel works with partner trainers who take the dog for a period, from basic obedience and home manners to advanced goals such as property guarding, protection and sport. The program is contracted separately and priced by goal and duration.
What is a pink pedigree?
In Brazil, German Shepherd pedigrees from the official breed clubs come in three colours: pink when both sire and dam are breed-surveyed, blue when only one is, white when neither is. Breed survey requires official hip and elbow X-rays and a CBPA judge's approval in a structure, obedience and protection test. Odin has a pink pedigree. The colour of each litter's pedigree depends on whether that litter's sire and dam are breed-surveyed.
Do the puppies come microchipped?
Yes. An identification microchip is included, together with the ALKC and CBPA pedigree, the first vaccine, two deworming doses, the contract and breeder support.
What is the difference between Odin's, M-Killer's and Tina's bloodlines?
Odin brings the German working base: breed-surveyed sire and dam and an IPO3 grandsire who competed at the WUSV World Championship. M-Killer brings the French Ring and Mondioring school: a Mondioring 2 sire and a Ring 3 grandsire. Tina brings the German IGP sport line: granddaughter of Dinoso vom Eisernen Kreuz (IPO3, two BSP entries) and daughter of Black Jack (IGP 3). In the breeder's assessment, Tina is the more rugged of the two dams, and M-Killer is rugged too.
