My story as a German Shepherd Breeder from West Berlin, Germany begins in Germany when I was 13 years old. Up to this point my parents never allowed me to have any pets! No hamster, rabbit, guinea pig or bird, as my parents never trusted me to take care of a pet. When I was 13 years old my mother had visited a friend that had a litter of eight German Shepherd Mix puppies that had been an accident. He told her that he couldn’t adopt him out by next Monday, he would take them to the pound. My mother took one and brought it home….. Here I was, with the history of never had been allowed to have a small pet- we had a Shepherd looking puppy eight weeks of age! I was super excited! I named him “Buddy”, because I had just read a book about a seeing eye dog that was titled “Buddy’s eyes are seeing for me”. Then, my dad came home from work! War broke out between my parents. My father didn’t agree at all….. Three weeks of war between them, me taking care of the dog before school, after school, feeding him walking him before bedtime. My care was flawless and super consistent. After three weeks my mother finally gave into my dad: “ok I will take the dog back!” My Dad said: “you can’t do that to our son!” That’s how I got started!
Our German Shepherds are strong, courageous and obedient. They are bred with a known intelligence, loyalty and focus following the description of the German Standard of the German Shepherd. The German Shepherd Dog, whose methodical breeding was started in 1899 after the foundation of the society, had been bred from the central German and southern German breeds of the herding dogs existing at that time with the ultimate objective of creating a working dog inclined to high achievements. In order to achieve this objective, the breed standard of the German Shepherd Dog was determined, which relates to the physical constitution as well as the traits and characteristics. General appearance The German Shepherd Dog is medium-size, slightly elongated, powerful and well-muscled, with dry bone and firm overall structure. Important dimensional ratios The height at the withers amounts to 60 cm to 65 cm for male dogs and 55 cm to 60 cm for female dogs. The trunk length exceeds the dimension at the height at the withers by about 10 – 17 %. Character The German Shepherd Dog must be well-balanced (with strong nerves) in terms of character, self-assured, absolutely natural and (except for a stimulated situation) good-natured as well as attentive and willing to please. He must possess instinctive behaviour, resilience and self-assurance in order to be suitable as a companion, guard, protection, service and herding dog.
