Breeders of working lines German Shepherds

It is because of our love of the breed and because of what’s happening today to the breed, we feel compelled to try to continue what the breed’s creator (Max von Stephanitz) envisioned his German Shepherd Dogs to be. Therefore our breeding goals are very much aligned with the creator’s aspirations. Rather than explain what we are hoping to achieve with our breeding program, I feel it would be better to quote Max von Stephanitz and in his words you’ll find our aims.
“The most striking feature of the correctly bred German Shepherd are firmness of nerves, attentiveness, unshockability, tractability, watchfulness, reliability and incorruptibility together with courage, fighting tenacity, and hardness”

“The breeding of shepherd dogs is the breeding of working dogs; and this must always be the aim, or we shall cease to produce shepherd dogs.”

“Utility is the True Criterion of Beauty”
“The coloring of the dog has no significance whatever for service; our shepherd dog accordingly is not bred for color. Coloring therefore is only a fad of the amateur and as such is often liable to changes of whim.”

“The impulse for work is born in our dog”

“Take this trouble for me: Make sure my shepherd dog remains a working dog, for I have struggled all my life long for that aim.”
