From the start, Max has shown boldness, intelligence, and drive that set him apart. He is focused in training, with natural talent and determination in bitework, while maintaining a stable, courageous temperament. Co-owned by my mom and I, Max is both a promising working prospect and a loyal companion. He represents the Von WestLynn legacy carrying forward the intelligence, heart, and work ethic we value in our program.

Stud Dog Availability & Requirements

Max will be available for stud in 2027, only after he has reached 2 years of age and successfully completed all required health testing, including hips, elbows, cardiac, thyroid, eyes, and dentition.

Max is available exclusively to approved, fully health-tested, in standard German Shepherd Dog females. No exceptions.

Max is a correct male with an outstanding temperament, solid structure, and strong pedigree. We look forward to seeing the positive qualities he will contribute to the breed through carefully planned, responsible Breedings.

Health & Genetic Disclosure

Max is a long-coat carrier.
If bred to another long-coat carrier, long-coat puppies will be produced.
If long-coats are not desired in your program, Max is not the appropriate stud for you.

Max is DM clear. We do not support breeding DM carriers.

Female Temperament Requirements
Females must exhibit a stable, sound temperament and must not display aggression, severe anxiety, or nerve instability toward myself or any party involved in the breeding process. 

Any female displaying concerning behavioral traits will be refused.

Note: Protective, defensive, or heightened behavior directed toward the stud male may be tolerated and managed appropriately. Hormonal fluctuations during the breeding process can temporarily alter a female’s typical behavior and will be understood. Such behavior will be evaluated in context and does not automatically disqualify a female, provided it is situational, manageable, and does not pose a safety risk to the stud, handlers, or veterinary staff, should the breeding take place at our veterinary office.
