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.

Why Julie started breeding
