Q Litter: SG Journey von der Beizjagd × SG Hank de Lupus Saevus

Working-Line German Shepherds | Expected January 2027

At Stay Wild K9, every breeding is intentional. Our Q Litter brings together two high-drive working German Shepherds with strong pedigrees, natural working ability, and promising performance genetics.

This pairing was selected with the goal of producing confident, athletic, high-drive dogs capable of excelling in IGP, other working sports, and active working homes.

SG Hank de Lupus Saevus

BH | AD | IGP1 | 1st Place — Midwest Regionals

Hank comes from the accomplished de Lupus Saevus kennel, known for producing competitive working German Shepherds.

A powerful, high-drive young male, Hank has already demonstrated his potential in IGP competition. He earned his IGP1 at the Midwest Regionals, taking first place and establishing himself as a promising competitor with the potential to advance to higher levels.

Hank brings several qualities we value in a working stud:

• Powerful, athletic build and strong working drive

• Natural intensity and willingness to work

• Strong tracking ability

• Promising performance in all three phases of IGP

• Genetics from an established working-dog breeding program

We are excited to see how Hank continues developing in competition and what he contributes to this pairing.

SG Journey von der Beizjagd

BH | IGP1 | CGC | BCAT | TKN | RN

Journey is a high-drive, high-energy working female with exceptional work ethic and a natural desire to train. She brings intensity, athleticism, and endurance, along with strong engagement and responsiveness to her handler.

Her littermate, Joker von der Beizjagd, is the 2024 WUSV World Champion, highlighting the competitive working genetics behind this female.

Journey is known for:

• Strong food and toy drive

• High engagement and willingness to work

• Natural tracking ability

• Athleticism, endurance, and energy

• Clear-headedness and responsiveness during training

Journey thrives when given a job. She is not a low-maintenance dog, and we value the drive, work ethic, and natural ability she brings to our breeding program.

Her previous offspring are still developing, but we have been encouraged by the drive, confidence, and engagement they are beginning to demonstrate.

Why This Breeding

Our goal with Journey × Hank is to combine two naturally talented, high-drive working dogs with complementary strengths.

Hank brings power, intensity, strong tracking ability, promising IGP performance, and genetics from the accomplished de Lupus Saevus kennel.

Journey brings relentless work ethic, strong engagement, athleticism, natural working ability, and a pedigree with proven world-level competition success.

Both dogs have the drive and desire to work that we value in our breeding program. We hope this combination produces dogs with the natural ability, temperament, and trainability to succeed in demanding working environments.

Our Goal for the Q Litter

We expect this pairing to produce athletic, energetic working German Shepherds with strong potential for training and competition.

We are hoping to see puppies with:

• High food, toy, and working drives

• Confidence and environmental stability

• Natural aptitude for tracking, obedience, and protection

• Strong engagement and willingness to learn

• Athleticism, endurance, and functional working ability

These puppies will be best suited for experienced, active homes prepared to provide consistent training, structure, and meaningful outlets for their energy.

Potential placements include:

• IGP and other competitive working sports

• Police, detection, and other working prospects

• Experienced handlers seeking an active training partner

As with any breeding, individual puppies will vary in drive, temperament, and suitability. We will evaluate each puppy to help buyers select a dog that best fits their goals and experience.
