 Hornbeck's Foxy Lady   
AKC #:  DN15195202 



Foxy is a smaller female with lots of energy. She has a medium coat. Her weight is around 70 lbs. She is a good man tracking k-9 that loves the work. She likes most people however some she sure shows distrust to. If I tell her its OK she will settle down but if I say nothing she thinks that person should get the heck out of there. She is not a excessive barker but when something strange happens, she will bark until I go see what the problem is. Her pups should make great alert dogs for the home or around the out side of the home. They  will make great companion, AKC obedience competition, French Ring or working schutzhund dogs.

Arkansas White Shepherds came to be in early 2007.  My white shepherds are AKC registered and very much a part of my family.   The enjoy both a large fenced yard and being inside the house at night & during bad weather. 

My goal in breeding is to provide an well adjusted, social puppy that is a high quality pet - one that will be loveable and adapts easily to your home.   My puppies are socialized with both children and adults and conditioned to make excellant thearpy dogs that can be taken into nursing homes or hospitals for pet therapy. 

Jim Hornbeck of Missouri White Shepherds (Hornbeck's Kennels) of Springfield, MO - was my father and my mentor.  Sadly he passed away on July 12, 2009.  His passing is a great loss to the canine training world! I am very priviledged that he shared his extensive knowledge of dogs and his experience in training with me.  His dream was to leave a legacy behind, which I think he was successful in.   It is my hopes to make him proud as I carry on the work he started.

 Socializing Puppies

A puppy's first few months of life is a critical time for socialization.   The first 12 weeks of life is when the puppy will develop important habits and learn how to get along with people and other animals. 

At Arkansas White Shpeherds we socialize our puppies from the day of birth.   We expose the puppies to adults, children and other animals.  The puppies are brought into the house to become accustomed to the common noises in a home, such as the dishwasher running, washer/dryer, TV, radio and vacume sweeper noises.   We play with the puppies as well as allow supervised play with the other dogs in our family.  They are taught to use a doggie door in their dog house and kennel. 

We strive to socialize our puppies to make them great pets for their new families!
