We at SilverMist Kennels strive to maintain quality over quantity. Though all dogs pictured on this page belong to us, not all of them live on site. Many of SilverMist Shepherds reside in pet homes, brought back only to continue our legacy of producing generation after generation of classic-style shepherds.
   Royalair's Legend Of Falco
(USA)
OFA HIPS "GOOD" #GS-72939G26M-PI
"Edge" was imported from the U.S. at the beginning of
November, 2003. Shown first at 7 months, then again at 14 months. Now at
nearly 5 years of age Legend is vet certified at 142 pounds. He is very attentive, extremely
gentle, and the largest male shepherd we have ever seen.
Edge's pedigree boasts of an amazing line of long-living, over-sized GSD's.
We are honored to have him.
 
SilverMist's Like A Rock
OFA HIPS "GOOD"
#GS-74123G24M-PI
OFA ELBOWS "NORMAL"
#GS-EL19115M24-PI
Rocco is our handsome black & red boy, pictured above at 12 months. Rocco is now
4 years of age. He is over 100 pounds and very protective. Rocco has
exceptional conformation - his movement is graceful and swift, and his demeanor
demands attention. Although he is affectionate with his family, he is
always on high alert for intruders, making him not only an exceptional
companion, but a wonderful protector.
Fury is our new up-and-comer compliments of Mottopride Kennels, and my dear friend, Sandi Evjen. Fury captured our hearts in a picture posted on Sandi's website, and we had to have him! He is a Ridland's Faramond grandson out of otherwise Mottopride stock. Fury is a heavily boned, black & tan with lots of expression and a laid-back personality. Fury is a lady's man, but he'll accept attention from anybody! It is our hope that he matures into the same gentle giant his grandsire was. At 21 months, Fury is 115 pounds.
SilverMist's Diesel at 6 months (Photo as seen in the "Lamont Leader" and "The Triangle" for Canine 4H)
Diesel is our new baby. He is a Rocco/Alexandria son,
and destined to be the next generation of SilverMist's sires. Diesel is
outgoing, incredibly large, very affectionate, and wonderful with children.
He has started Canine 4H with our oldest son, Jaden, and we are eager to see how
far his training comes this first year. We will continue to update our new
pup's progress until his OFA prelims in another year.

We do not breed angulated show dogs! Silvermist Kennels only breeds &
encourages the breeding of working and/or companion dogs.
Note the straight-backed appearance of all our breeding stock, when standing
perpendicular to the ground. The only time you should see a gentle slope of the
rear, is when your shepherd's back legs are extended.
With properly seated OFA certified hip joints, sound structure & movement,
and healthy coat that can endure a Canadian winter, our
shepherds are built to last!

Bandoleros Emma
OFA HIPS "EXCELLENT"
#GS-75405E29F-PI
OFA ELBOWS "NORMAL"
#GS-EL19884F29-PI
Emma is a classic-style shepherd female, line bred on Faramond. Her
movement and temperament are sound, her structure solid. She is a
beautiful saddle-back. Emma is our 2nd OFA "EXCELLENT" female, and the dam
of "Keltic Windsong," our 3rd OFA EXCELLENT female shown a few pictures below.
SilverMist's Echo Von Ridland
OFA HIPS "GOOD"
#GS-74838G25F-PI
OFA ELBOWS "NORMAL"
#GS-EL19536F25-PI
Echo is a champagne sable. She was born
cream & silver, and although her coat has changed dramatically, you must see her
in person to truly appreciate the silver undertones to her entire coat.
Echo is very obedient and a wonderful companion dog. She loves to go for
long walks with her owner - at her side every step of the way!
SilverMist's
Keltic Windsong
OFA HIPS "EXCELLENT"
#GS-77248E24F-PI
OFA ELBOWS "NORMAL"
#GS-EL21028F24-PI
Keltie is always working on some project. When there is
nothing else to do, she is quite happy to chase butterflies or birds - which is probably
why she is so lean and muscular. Keltie is very aware of her surroundings.
She is smart and attentive, and easy to work, yet gentle with friends and
family. She is also our 3rd OFA EXCELLENT in the last couple of years!
SilverMist's
Alexandria
Alex is a large black & red female that is very
laid back. She is good with everybody - much like her parents, Lexie and
Legend. Alex's preliminary evaluations are good, she has a clean,
straight-back and beautiful fluid motion. She's so much like her mother!
Royalair's Black Velvet
Preliminary OFA HIPS "GOOD"
Preliminary OFA ELBOWS "NORMAL"
Velvet, known to us as "Jetta" just came in from
Iowa. Her dam is a German import, which may lead to a little more
drive than we have in our own lines. Jetta is a very obedient female, with
great interest in retrieval. Having just had her first litter of pups,
Jetta has proven to be an exemplary mother, and a great host for visitors!
SilverMist's
Honor
Preliminary OFA HIPS "GOOD"
Preliminary OFA ELBOWS "NORMAL"
Honor is a Panda/Legend puppy and Panda's replacement now that Panda is in
retirement. Honor is
the a very large 21 month old female. With her beautiful black & red coat
she is a dead ringer for Alex, and already as big! Honor is very
affectionate and constantly at her master's side. She is going to
be a very relaxed adult.
SilverMist's
Hayden Royale
Preliminary Results Appear
"GOOD" & "NORMAL"
Awaiting final verification in early 2009
Hayden is a full sister to Honor, from a later Panda/Legend breeding.
At 15 months, she is not as tall as Honor, but just as thick. She is
clearly a black & tan saddleback. Hayden is big and clumsy and absolutely
adorable! Prelminary results on hips and elbows are good. We are hoping to have
this loyal little girl around for many years to come.
Vonderbrink's Lynx
Lynx is a completely unrelated female
from Vonderbrink Shepherds. She will be the last of Pamela Brink's stock,
as she has retired from breeding German Shepherds. Both Lynx' Dam and Sire
are Canadian Champions. Lynx' sire passed away many years ago, therefore
Lynx is the
result of an artificially inseminated breeding using frozen sperm. Lynx'
Dam is incredibly straight-backed for a show dog, with an amazing temperament
and beautiful saddleback appearance. Lynx will be much darker than her
dam, and hopefully a promising addition to our breeding program in 2009.
SilverMist's Halo
Halo is a
sable out of the first time breeding between Echo and Fury. She appears
more and more like an extremely light saddleback each day, but we suspect she
will lose most of her black over the next few months. Halo is a little
sweetheart, always looking for cuddles. As a pup, she is eager to please,
and very inquisitive. Just like her dam, she is Terra's little follower.
