The Breed
Our German Shepherds
No breed on earth has proven itself in as many roles as the German Shepherd: family guardian, police partner, search-and-rescue hero, service dog, sport champion. That versatility comes from one thing – a brilliant, biddable mind in a sound working body – and it is exactly what we breed for.
Our German Shepherds are KUSA-registered, hip- and elbow-graded and DNA-tested for degenerative myelopathy (DM) before breeding. Puppies are raised in the farmhouse with early neurological stimulation and daily handling, giving them the confident start this thinking breed deserves.
