"The man who rears a dog must complete what the breeder began: the breeder can indeed lay the foundations of a good and serviceable dog, but the trainer must see to it that he brings to their highest possible development the physical and mental foundations already laid, and thus his is the more grateful task."

- Capt. Max von Stephanitz

Our puppies are all raised in a home environment. They are used to all types of surfaces, noises and day to day commotion. 

Our philosophy is to strive to produce the finest working German Shepherd Dogs in the world. Mental and physical health is our number one criteria. We strive to produce driven, versatile athletes that have good focus and are able to switch from an excited drive state to a calm relaxed demeanor. We believe that our dogs should be able to be top performers in the field and superior family companions in the home.
