John,
Our dogs must have some distant relatives in common, our Nord v. Alyeska is a dead ringer for your Johann. Same heavy black coloring. Father was black, Belgian, mother is red, German.
from www.alaskagermanshepherds.com
Nord comes from a long line of Shutzhund champs, but sadly there's no club within 400 miles. He's typical GSD smart, but would rather make snowangels than train. His sole responsibility at this time is to take care of my 14 mo. old son -which is handy.
Best dogs ever, but when the lap gets chilly, nothing beats our Chihuahua. Even though 90lb Nord will try to crawl up into your lap anyways.
The newest addition to our family. We already have cats in our pad now we have this little girl. We named her Gracie.

Update: The owner of one our males just passed away and gave us the GSD to house and find a new home. The rarity of this one is......This male is 115+lbs no joke or about 20-25 heavier than the pictured.
