Julie’s experience

  • About Julie

    We have been raising German Shepherds since 1999. There are basically 4 different types of German Shepherds today; West German, East German, American and Backyard Bred, each serving different purposes and having different abilities. We are breeding the West German lines with purpose to retain the versatility, health and loyalty of our breed. We are changing lives one dog at a time.

  • What makes Julie’s program special

    All of our breeding dogs come from Germany and are West German Lines. Germany requires ALL breeding dogs to pass health, endurance, obedience testing and have sound minds before a dog can be bred in Germany. We are a small hobby breeder allowing us to provide an in-home program that offers individual care and curriculum for each puppy during critical imprinting stages.

More about Julie

    I grew up on a small ranch raising pigs, poultry, cattle, horses and dogs, showing in the county and state fairs. We purchased our first U.S. Bred German Shepherd in 1999. Over the years of breeding we have changed our breeding program to only include German Imported Breeding Stock due to the desire to continue to maintain the integrity, purpose and health of the breed.

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
