Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind IchBin Gesegnet located in Polk City, FL. I am focused on breeding high quality biddable dogs with a strong working line that are able to adapt to any life that their owners choose. My past puppies have excelled as Pets, Obedience, Protection, Detection (HRD) and Medical Alert dogs. I only breed once a year to 18 months.

Carol’s experience

  • About Carol

    I compete with my female Shepherd in Detection work and have titled her to the Masters level. She is a sound level headed female that is safe around people and animals. She is health tested, DM Clear and OFA's of Normal and Good rating. My Male is IPO3 titled, DM Clear and solid OFAs. He was imported from West Germany and enhances Ravens already outstanding qualities.

  • What makes Carol’s program special

    I think everyone says a similar thing but I will say I am passionate about the breed and giving the pups the best start on a great life with humans. I incorporate ENS, ESI and Jane Killians Puppy Culture into the raising of these pups until their go home date arrives. I offer continued follow up support and stay in touch with the families.
