I'm the breeder behind Altvater German Shepherds located in Wellington, CO. We breed to preserve what is good and improve the breed where we can. Our dogs are bred for quality, not quantity. Health, temperament, versatility, and working ability are our focus whether a working K9, competitive sport dog or active family companion.
Sally’s experience
About Sally
Dogs have always been my passion and German Shepherd Dogs have always been my heart breed. I pursued veterinary medicine and learned it was not the career for me. I spent many years in the pharmaceutical industry and began training dogs on the side 20 years ago. I left the industry to fulfill my passion to work with dogs full time, and have never been happier.
What makes Sally’s program special
I do not have puppies often. All breedings are planned very far in advance to ensure the dogs are breed worthy, I can financially support the mother and litter, and that both myself and potential puppy buyers have plenty of time to get to know one another so I know it is a good fit. I do not just want to “sell puppies”, I am selling lifelong partnerships.
