We breed German Shepherds that are larger than standard, straight backed and less angled than many of the GSD's being produced today. We test for hips, elbows, DM, DNA, Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, Canine Herpes, Tick borne diseases and Thyroid. Please note: Puppies are picked out on pick up day. Appointments are made according to when you place your deposit.
So the first pick of male will have their appointment first and the same with the females then everyone after in order of deposit.

New Puppy Care
Report
Buying a new German Shepherd puppy is a very exciting experience. Before you pick up your German Shepherd puppy you should have a crate large enough for him or her to grow, bowls, food and water, toys, a collar that adjusts for growth, leash, a pad or bed for the crate, and the number to a veterinarian you really like and trust.
Potty Training
Report
Potty training a new puppy does not have to be difficult, but it does require consistency and patience. While it is true that puppies have small bladders, start training right away to help teach your newest family member the rules from the beginning and avoid confusion. New owners who are the most successful at potty training are diligent, patient, and consistent.
Frequently Asked Questions FAQ’s
Report
Males are usually more aloof or indifferent than females. Males tend to protect their property while females are more "pack" or "their people protective". Males from any given litter are usually larger than the females. Females tend to be more nurturing and loving which makes them better for families with small children.
Recommended Veterinarians and Trainers
Report
I am often asked about trainers and Vets in the San Diego and surrounding areas. So I started keeping a list of them based on my own experience and my puppy buyers experiences. For hip and elbow certs to be sent to OFA I take my dogs to Cuyamaca Animal Hospital in Santee. They have a xray tech who has been doing xrays for close to 20 years and she knows her stuff!
Puppy Mills
Report
What's the Difference Between a Puppy Mill, a Backyard Breeder, a Hobby Breeder, and a Reputable Breeder?. Let's start with the easiest to define - a puppy mill. Puppy mills are created with one thing in mind which is the almighty dollar. An article we found by the ASPCA regarding puppy mills claims that breeding at puppy mills is performed without consideration of genetic quality.
