I'm the breeder behind Waldkonig K9 located in Eatonville, WA. My dogs are bred for temperament and Health without sacrificing working drive. I have extensive pedigree knowledge and breed only European working bloodlines, each pairing carefully selected to bring out the best in each litter. All of my Breeding dogs have health certifications prior to breeding and puppies are sold with a Hip&Health contract.
About Jill
I grew up on a farm and was always the rescuer, loving all critters. I loved working with dogs especially and found I had a knack for training. I trained local neighbor's dogs and my parents bought me a German Shepherd at 16. Her intelligence blew me away and I fell in love with the Breed.
What makes Jill’s program special
I breed a very clear-headed, versatile dog. Solid Temperaments and nerves are extremely important. Because of this, I can produce a PD K-9 and a service dog from the same litter.

Why Jill started breeding
I started to see a real shift in GSDs. People breeding only for the show ring or the Schutzhund field. The competition factor in both areas had people breeding for extremes. I wanted the original, versatile dog, and that's what I still breed for.
