Keighley and Anya are litter sisters but bought separately. Keighley was bought first, and after we lost one of our other dogs, the breeder who was training Vicki and Keighley for showing mentioned that he still had one of the litter left, thats when Anya came home. When they were pups they were very destructive, but still remain the most loyal of all the breeds we have been fortunate to meet. Vicki says although she loves malamutes and this is now her breed, German Shepherds will always be her first love.
