Versatility

The German Shepherd is arguably the most versatile dog in the world. The GSD was bred to be loyal, intelligent, highly trainable and protective. My favorite quote from the Founder of the breed: “The breeder can indeed lay the foundations of a good and serviceable dog but the owner must see to it that he brings to their highest possible development, the physical and mental foundations already laid and thus he has the most gratifying task.” It is this call to commitment that has inspired not only me to be the best for my dogs, but also teach others how to do the same.
THE EUROPEAN WORKING LINE AND CZECH BLOODLINES


The German Shepherd was meant to be a highly versatile dog. This dog instills a stable temperament that can be fine laying by your side and hanging out with the family in one instant but completely suited to tap into their genetics and perform working tasks for longer periods when called upon.
I have seen the very bloodlines that are claimed to be more calm in the German Shepherd be the most dog aggressive and problematic with training.
Balance is everything. All of our breeding dogs are balanced in that they can go from family life to a working task with ease. The German Shepherd was designed to be confident. This is a dog that was designed to be confident and observant and able to conserve its energy for when it was time to work. Specifically this herding dog would rest and keep watch over the herd in one instant and in the next be in constant movement keeping the herd together and safe from predators.
Often times the highest-level dogs in sport are able to be calm and rest or just be with its handler until it is his time to perform. A dog that is constantly anxious will simply be exhausted before it is able to perform its work with any clarity.
It is our responsibility as owners that we give our German Shepherds this same balance that it was designed to possess. If you get a German Shepherd and expect it to only lie around the house and never chase a ball or run, you are looking for the wrong breed. I see many people that fail be quick to blame the line or breeding when in reality it is their lack of knowledge for the breed as a whole and a failure to incorporate and implement any sort of puppy management and training system.

SECURITY YOU CAN TRUST

In multiple studies and interviews conducted among convicted sexual assault, robbery and burglary felons they were asked what security measures taken by homeowners were most effective at deterring their criminal intentions. Consistently at the top of the list were protection dogs.
When asked why, criminals listed these reasons:
- Canine hearing abilities pick-up suspicious sounds earlier than alarm systems.
- Canine barking alerts homeowners and neighbors too quickly.
- Criminals fear of being attacked by a dog.
- Criminals know confronting a dog is much more hazardous than dealing with an alarm system.
Research from the Fraternal Order of Police
Dogs don’t hesitate and they are not intimidated by the criminal. It has been proven that it takes the average gun owner 40 seconds from initial burglary break-in to awake from a sleep state and reach the location of a gun in the home. Dogs will react immediately by barking and confronting the intruder, giving families the necessary time to escape or protect themselves by alternative means.
