Helen & Gator

Ch Nocturne's Navigator SchH2 is one of very few dogs to have achieved both a US Championship and a SchH2 title and is, to the best of our knowledge, the first SchH2 Champion to have earned his KKL1 title. He is actively working on further performance and agility titles.

Gator was bred and is owned, trained and titled by Helen Gleason who handles him in all his performance events, including his SchH1 and SchH2 titles.

He is available at stud by private arrangement.

"Good Morning, I purchased two males ... out of your stud. I just wanted to write to tell you how well they are doing in their puppy socialization/guide dog training. People have been so impressed with these pups that I have convinced them to let me purchase some females from different lines so that when they are 2 years of age, and pass all medical and behavioral evaluations. I can start breeding straight German Shepherd’s for our program."  (quote from a guide dog organization about Navigator)
