THE PUPPIES HAVE BEEN BORN! This may be your chance to get a Candle Hill Shepherd Puppy as we still have some available. Beautiful long coated puppies with outstanding temperament. This is our 7'th generation of Candle Hill carefully selected breeding.

Ranger von Hoffnung CGC, CD, RN, NA, NAJ TKN TKI TKA and Ember von Hoffnung. The Puppies were born March 20, 2025 with a take home date of May 15, 2025!

This is a repeat of last year’s breeding of Ranger and Ember. As we hear back from our Puppy Families, the temperament as well as beauty of that litter is hitting the mark for our goals in breeding these twenty plus years. Ranger, himself, quintessentially Candle Hill in beauty and performance, though only just three years old, is piling up titles in Obedience and Agility and now Trick competitions. His character is most desirable. He has the ability to switch from calm to drive and back again, making him a most fun dog to work, while also being a comforting companion. Ember, for her part, is completely winsome, fun to play, but even more, a calm companion by my side. We expect beautiful long coated puppies with the Candle Hill temperament of loyalty, willingness to please, and trainabiity.

Tobbs and Nika have been bred, 3/19/25 and are expected to have puppies in May. This litter, like Ranger and Embers, is very special to us. Nika, littermate to her brother Ranger, brings with her the great lineage of Candle Hill Shepherds going back to our original dogs, Tag, Max and Wessa, and Jake. She also has Cardinal and Rohan in her lines. Tobbs, for his part, is half brother to Ember, sharing the same mother, Shade from Hungary. He carries forward the beauty of his grandfather, Grisu vom Frankingold, as well as, great character from his sire, Valiant. Long coated puppies, most will be beautiful red sable. A few may be black and red.
