THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG

"A Dog without Peers"

The German Shepherd Dog (also known in Britain as the Alsatian) is valued around the world as a Sentry, Police Dog, Tracker, Detection Dog, Search and Rescue Dog, Guide Dog for the blind, Competition Dog and the ever so popular family companion.
A German farm dog whose type was stabilized in the 1890's by a German officer, Rittmeister (Cavalry Captain) Max Emil Friedrich von Stephanitz. He dedicated his life to this breed by taking a little known native herding breed out of obscurity, and proclaiming it onto the world stage of recognition as "a dog without peers". In doing so, he rightfully earned and deserved the title "The Father of the Breed" and in 1899 became the first president of the SV, known to us as the German Shepherd Club of Germany.
The breed was first imported into this continent early in the 1900's and got its biggest boost in popularity after the close of World War I, because of the screen exploits of Rin Tin Tin.

Learn more about the breed...

All of our dogs enjoy a very well-rounded, full life at our home in Fenwick, Ontario.

We own, train and live with ALL of our breeding dogs that are used in our breeding program so we know first hand of exactly what type of dog they are. This enables us to know exactly what we are breeding and what to expect in our offspring and who to breed to who so we can improve each generation. We are now producing our 4th & 5th generation of GSD's.

Of course our main focus for our dogs, is their working/training ability as well as their breeding potential. We compete with them to high levels in the extreme sport of Schutzhund and have a couple that we use as demonstration dogs for police departments so their training is focused in that aspect. All of our Breeding Dogs (plus many, many offspring) have been proven to very high standards for many years now, which we believe is imperative for the betterment of the breed.

A well rounded dog is truly a VERSATILE animal which is what Max von Stephanitz. intended, when he created the breed some 100 years ago. Our offspring are known for their ability to blend into the environment in which they are raised and live. You can truly do anything with them......making them ideal for many different types of homes.
