AKC Grand Champion Todorhaus 'Ride The Wild Wind' aka "Rider" was born from a litter of 9 puppies on October 11, 2014. Rider was bred by Sharon Todoroff of Todorhaus German Shepherds located in Columbus Minnesota. Todorhaus German Shepherds has predominantly American lines, but occasionally breeds to German lines. Their dogs are known for conformation and also work in herding, agility, tracking and service work.

Both Rider's sire and dam were from Todorhaus lines. As pick of the litter, Rider was placed in a show home. Rider is owned by Kenneth and Ann Jeddeloh of Hudson, Wisconsin. Ann is active in the  German Shepherd Dog Club of Minneapolis, St. Paul. We were introduced to Ann Jeddeloh at the Midwest German Shepherd Dog Club of America (GSDCA) Futurities in 2021, and it was there we first learned about Rider.

After our introduction, we learned Rider was a Todorhaus Cloud Dragon "Drako" son. We had successful litters from Drako and appreciated the quality of his progeny. Upon learning Rider was an AKC Grand Champion and had not yet sired any progeny, we decided to consider breeding him in our lines. Rider earned his American Kennel Grand (AKC) Grand Championship in 2018. He was tested by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals and has been certified with OFA Hips Good and Elbows Normal. He has been tested for Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) and is DM Clear. View Rider's pedigree on the Pedigree Database...
