We breed according to the AKC German Shepherd Dog Standard, although sometimes our pups are larger than the standard calls for.  We also only breed only OFA certified parents.  I strongly suggest if you are looking for a puppy, before you go any further, please become acquainted with both the AKC Standard & the meaning of the OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals).  I have links to both sites on my links page.

We are members of The German Shepherd Dog Club Greater Raleigh and The German Shepherd Dog Club of America. We are also signers of the Breeders Code of Ethics. 

We are a small hobby kennel located in Raleigh, North Carolina.  We have owned German Shepherds of the American bloodline for the past 20 years.  Through the years I have learned that the joy of owning a German Shepherd is to have one that has a true German Shepherd character, is extremely healthy & robust with beautiful, sound structure.  That is what I have strived to own & to produce in my litters.  Very few people show their dogs, but a pet can definitely have the all the qualities of the show dog, which is again, good temperament, excellent health & beautiful sound structure. At least 99% of our pups are happily sold to loving, qualified pet homes. Finding a show home for a pup is quite difficult & we feel it is more important to place a pup at the proper age instead of holding them back hoping a show home will come along. 

Our pups are suitable for obedience or agility work, herding training or just wonderful companions & family dogs.  We also feel the American bloodline is more laid back than other bloodlines & we do not recommend these pups for protection training, schutzhund work or search & rescue as they do not normally  have enough “high prey drive”. All puppies are home raised, carefully evaluated & sold with a written guarantee.
