Winter – Certified Therapy Dog
Winter is one of our stunning black beauties here at Tiltonhaus, and we are so proud to say she is a certified Therapy Dog. From the very beginning, she was raised in our home surrounded by love and snuggles, and she quickly showed the same warmth and gentle spirit as her mother, Missy—both in looks and in personality.
Her sweet, steady temperament is what makes her shine as a Therapy Dog. Winter has a natural gift for connecting with people, offering comfort and reassurance whether she’s with children, adults, or seniors. She is wonderfully gentle with dogs of all sizes and has a calm, affectionate nature that makes everyone feel at ease. Winter truly embodies everything we love about the German Shepherd breed, and we could not be happier with the incredible female she has become.
Winter's Accomplishments:
Winter earned her International Championship (IntCH) Title at the International All Breed Canine Association Of America (IABCA) dog show in 2024. This title is earned by the dog being awarded the highest conformation show rating (V-1) by 3 different judges, with at least two of the judges licensed in different countries.
Winter earned her AKC Virtual Home Manners Adult (VHMA) Title from the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 2024. The dog must demonstrate that it knows ten skills that well-mannered pet puppies need in the home setting. The skills relate to the dog owner having control over the dog, being able to walk the dog (which is one of the most frequently cited activities that owners want to do with their dogs) and developing a bond with the dog during playtime.
Winter earned her AKC Virtual Scent Work Beginner (VSWB) Title from the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 2024. The dog must find one item (choice of ball, toy or treat) inside the home at ground level up within 1.5 minutes in one search area. It takes two passes to earn a title.
Winter earned her AKC Novice Trick Dog (TKN) Title from the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 2024. The dog must perform 10 skills from the Novice Trick list, to earn the Novice Trick Title.
Winter earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Title from the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 2024. The dog and handler have to successfully complete ten components of an evaluation. The purpose of the evaluation is to recognize those dogs who have been trained to be good citizens in the community.
Winter earned her Socialized Pet Obedience Test (SPOT-ON) Title from the United Kennel Club (UKC) in 2024. The SPOT test consists of 10 separate stations. At each station, the dog must perform a basic exercise. These exercises are used to demonstrate that the dog is capable of exhibiting desired behaviors that the general public would expect to see in a well-behaved dog. The dog will receive a rating at each station, varying from “Outstanding” to “Needs Practice”. A dog that completes the test with an Outstanding rating at each station will be considered a “SPOT Outstanding Neighbor” or “SPOT-ON” dog.
Winter earned her Home Manners Puppy (VHMP) Title from the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 2023. The puppy must demonstrate that it knows ten skills that well-mannered pet puppies need in the home setting. The skills relate to the puppy owner having control over the dog, being able to walk the puppy and developing a bond with the puppy during playtimeT
