I'm the breeder behind Griffin's Mountain Kennel located in Atascadero, CA. We breed German Shepherds as show prospects and companions. Our dogs excel in obedience, as stable service dogs or in conformation. They are raised in our home in a family situation for a balanced, healthy, socialized experience. Temperament is very important to us.

What makes Colette’s program special
We only breed our best candidates with hopes to better our breed, we provide all health testing prior to breeding and take extreme measures to ensure we're producing healthy puppies. We stand behind our dogs, and supply owners with all the tools they need for a great experience with their new companion. We like to think we are forever friends with our new owners as well.

Why Colette started breeding
I first got into breeding Rough Collies. I was showing a beautiful male that was such a great example of the breed that I decided to breed him to our female. They produced an excellent litter and I was hooked on bettering the breed. I later switched over to German Shepherds.
