Our
dogs are bred to be mentally healthy, physically sound, intelligent,
have lots of character, personality, and heart, and be livable. They are
capable of almost anything. They are the most versatile of any breed.
They are childproof, when raised properly. Our breeding animals are
selected on their ability to learn, temperament, and of course, health
background. We breed to dogs that will compliment and improve our
existing stock. They are instinctively protective without being
aggressive. Soundness, health, willingness, trainability, and mental
stability are priorities in our breeding program. We abhor dog
aggressiveness. Trendy breeding or breeding for beauty only is NOT a
consideration. Our dogs do have the ability to reason.
All
of our breeding stock is OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals)
certified. Dogs of German origin are "a" stamped. Our proven record is
becoming more apparent as the years pass. Because of genetic faults in
any breed, our dogs are fully guaranteed. Even by using all of the
genetic screening tools available to breeders, an occasional problem may
arise. We guarantee our animals because of this fact. All of our dogs
are von Willebrand disease tested. They are all Temperament Certified
(TC). We choose to certify their eyes of phenotypical disease. Their
thyroid evaluations are normal.
We
register all of our dogs through the AKC (American Kennel Club). They
are permanently tattooed on their inner thigh with their AKC
registration number or tattooed in their right ear for Hinterland litter
identification. Our kennel is permanently registered with the SV in
Germany and Schutzhund U.S.A.
Our German Shepherd puppies are bred for impeccable character, versatility, intelligence.
