“Amazingly Intelligent”
Read More Testimonials
My background with German Shepherds is breeding and showing them in the AKC conformation ring. I love my show dogs and have to add that not all dogs shown in conformation are over angulated or spooky. Several of mine were sold for SAR work and several made good watch dogs. However, now that I am retired, I want to camp, hike and explore. I wanted not only a companion, but a serious personal protection dog. Enter Red Rock K-9! Sam sells puppies already trained in basic obedience which come from proven working lines or you can purchase adult trained protection dogs. The bonus for me is that Sam is a very skilled dog trainer and offers lessons on obedience and protection. Dargo, my puppy, is not only amazingly intelligent, he is showing me daily how bold he is in temperament accompanying me on my farm chores. I am very much looking forward to taking him with me on my explorations! Dargo is my buddy.
“Best Puppy Ever”

“Exceptional intelligence and outstanding temperament”
Read More TestimonialsI have been fortunate enough to earn the loyalty and devotion of four beloved German Shepherds through the years. After the loss of our last loyal and true German Shepherd companion of 14 years on 3 July this year (2017), I slowly began to research available German Shepherd puppies for adoption. After thorough research, we decided Red Rock K9 German Shepherds in Edmond Oklahoma was an excellent choice. Sam worked with us to pair us with a perfect fit of a 6 month old German Shepherd puppy named Sasha. After the first week, it became readily apparent to me that Sasha is blessed with exceptional intelligence and outstanding temperament. I am amazed at what a fast learner Sasha is, and we are thrilled with her big heart and loving temperament. I highly recommend Sam and RedRock K9 and German Shepherds. We live in Edmond and I would be happy to give a personal recommendation to anyone considering Sam and RedRock K9 German Shepherds.

“His vet said that Rocky has the best temperament she’s ever seen for a young German Shepherd puppy.”
Read More TestimonialsWe’ve always had Labrador Retrievers but our 6 year old son had been begging for a German Shepherd for a year. Honestly, I was quite skeptical about the breed until we met a Red Rock puppy named Ranger on the ski slopes in Angel Fire, NM. The boys on the ski team were all petting him and playing with him in the snow. The owner told me I should contact Sam at Red Rock K9. I called Sam the next day and said “I don’t want a dog for sport or shows, I just want a pet that’s good with kids, breeding and titles don’t matter to me”. I was completely wrong. After some discussions with Sam we decided to put our name on the list for a puppy.
A couple months later, we decided to get a dark sable male import puppy that Sam was offering from his partners in the Czech Republic. We named him Rocky. He has been a fabulous addition to our family. His vet said that Rocky has the best temperament she’s ever seen for a young German Shepherd puppy. He goes everywhere with the neighborhood kids and they pretend he is a trained military dog or police K9. He is already very protective of our son but in a confident, stable way….not in a crazy aggressive way. He has nerves of steel and is really excelling at training. We need a well trained pet because we take our dogs everywhere with us and Sam worked with his contacts in the Czech Republic to find just what we wanted. Aside from being a magnificent looking dog, he has excellent breeding and the best temperament we could ever hope for.
If you are on the fence at all about getting a German Shepherd, I urge you to contact Sam. He is extremely knowledgeable about the breed and can really educate you about the importance of a good breeding program. Let him help match you up with dog that fits your lifestyle!
Amazing adult import GSD from Red Rock K9
Read More TestimonialsI had lost my K9 partner after 11 amazing years together. It was obvious that I needed another German Shepherd in my life. I contacted the owner of Red Rock K9, Sam, and explained my situation to him. I was still dealing with my loss and Sam was very understanding. Within a few days, Sam sent me pictures and videos of an adult male that he had available for import from the Czech Republic. He felt that “Buddy” was everything I was looking for. I trusted Sam’s instincts and moved forward with the purchase. “Buddy” arrived in Oklahoma and I made the 21 hour drive to pick him up. When I arrived, Sam took all the time that was needed to meet and get comfortable with my new GSD. The long ride home gave us plenty of time to bond and spend quality time together. “Buddy ” has been with us for a week now and we couldn’t be happier. Sam continues to check in with me and that shows how passionate he is about his dogs. I highly recommend Red Rock K9 and I’m happy to call Sam a friend!
Awesome Experience!!
Read More TestimonialsWhat an amazing puppy purchase experience!! Sam and the others at Red Rock K9 are absolute professionals. Every single aspect of the experience from initial contact, to reserving our puppy, through delivery and after care has been flawless and polished. We still communicate with Sam often, and it is clear that he is vested in this puppy along with us and is completely focused on the proper development of our Ranger. When you purchase a puppy from Red Rock K9, they make sure you are set up for success. We could not be more satisfied with the entire Red Rock K9 experience. Thank You Vivona Family and Red Rock K9!!
Sam certainly has delivered what he promised.
Read More TestimonialsI found Red Rock K9 through my father, who had gotten to know Sam when searching for a Czech working line shepherd- a year later, we were in the market for a working line shepherd puppy for me, and my father suggested Red Rock K9- I researched the kennel, talked to Sam, and I sent my deposit- So far, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made! As it turned out, I had to wait 4 months for the puppies to be born and I don’t wait very well- Sam was very patient with all of my (many) calls and emails- I was impressed with his rapid responses and his up front answers- I loved all of the updates and photos chronicling the progress of the puppies once they were born- I actually flew out to Oklahoma to meet my puppy when she was 6 weeks old with my parents- Sam showed me all of his dogs and his family took us to lunch- He spent as much time with me as I necessary to answer my questions and I knew just what to expect- Sam has continued to follow up with Haddie with phone calls and emails, which is so unusual- Haddie is nearly 4 months old now- I get compliments on her everywhere we go- She is well behaved and has an unusually calm demeanor for such a young puppy- My friends and family cant believe what a nice, stable puppy she is- I have been introducing her to to as many new people, animals, and things as I can, but the most amazing so far is how she behaves with babies- she has been with one year old toddlers twin boys (under close supervision) and she instinctively knows to be gentle with them- She is very smart and I keep thinking she is going to open her mouth and tell me what she is thinking- I have just started working with a local trainer, and Haddie is a quick study- I cant wait to see how far she and I can go with her next level of advanced training!
I was a little hesitant to go to an out of state breeder I didn’t know, and buy a puppy without seeing the parents, the kennel, or the puppy at first- There are a lot of different types of people posing as dog breeders, and most of them frequently don’t deliver what they promise- This was quite a leap of faith for me- Sam certainly has delivered what he promised; Haddie is everything I wanted and hoped for- I would not hesitate to buy another dog from him and I would enthusiastically recommend Red Rock K9 to anyone looking for a german shepherd- my email address is courtney.gruber@gmail.com- I would be happy to provide additional information about my experience to anyone looking for a german shepherd puppy-
Red Rock K9 Puppy Excels in the Agility Ring
Read More TestimonialsI wanted to share my story around how wonderful the experience has been for me in working with Sam and Linsey Vivona proud owners of Red Rock K9 in Edmond, Oklahoma.
As many of you know, I tragically lost my 4 year old GSD Indy about 2 years ago. I was more than devastated. I was really almost at the point of throwing in the towel and not go through the heart ache of training another GSD especially for agility. I had spent an enormous amount of time working with her due to her aggression issues and fear issues. We had worked through so much and actually got her all the way to a MACH and she was 2 double queues away from her MACH 2. Then in the blink of an eye, she was gone.
Before I got Indy, I had done so much research on German Shepherd breeders and before I lost Indy, Red Rock K9 never came up in any searches. About a week later, I just decided to do another search and up popped Red Rock K9. I had not decided on getting another puppy but just wanted to see what was out there. I read all of their information and watched every video. I was so impressed with their vision of really trying to ensure that families understood what they were getting into with the purchase of a GSD. The first thing that caught my eye was the price as I am sure it would for anyone. But I also know that you get what you pay for.
After a week or so, I filled out the on-line application and decided to discuss my needs with them. I did not indicate that I had just lost one as I did not want them to think that I was a bad doggie mom.
The other thing that impressed me right off the bat was the fact that they have a strong Christian faith which is very important to me. I really felt that God was pointing me in this direction.
I talked to Sam and discussed my needs. He then explained what they were trying to accomplish with their puppy training program. If puppies went to families that had basic obedience already, hopefully these dogs would have permanent forever homes and not end up in a shelter.
I was able to get on the list for a litter that was coming up in April of 2014. Once the litter was born, Sam posted weekly pictures so you could see how they were growing and posted videos on their training progress. I was a little skeptical at first regarding waiting until 10-11 weeks to pick up my puppy I must say.
After I picked Fiona out at about 8 weeks, a couple of weeks later Sam called me and indicated that he felt one of the other puppies showed more drive and that it might be a better fit for me. This was a direct result of the puppy training program. Sam was able to see how the puppies were progressing and as a result thought I should make a change. Had I picked this puppy up at 8 weeks old, I might have made a mistake. So I told him to make the switch and he did.
As a result, I now have a dog that has her Master Agility jumpers title at 23 months old and is working on her Master STD title. She also has an NACSW Novice Nosework title and two UKC Nose-work titles, and her Jr. dock diving title. She is not even two years old yet
I will never purchase another GSD from any other breeder and will always have the puppy training completed before I pick up the puppy. Red Rock K9 is phenomenal and the price… we’ll all I can say is that it is worth every penny. I wanted to let potential GSD owners know what a quality dog you will get from this breeder. They spend hours training these puppies and ensure a healthy and safe environment. You will not go wrong with this breeder. They are not a breeder that will sell you a puppy and then you never hear from them again. They are with you forever.
Fiona helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life and I will be forever grateful that Red Rock K9 came into my life when they did. Fiona is a wonderful companion and I love her dearly
What an incredible experience it has been and one I will never forget.
Thank you Red Rock K9,
“Purchasing a puppy with imprint training is the best way to go for sure”
Read More TestimonialsThanks to Red Rock K9 we have a very sweet and special German shepherd. Baron is a wonderful family member. He enjoys our daily walks, he loves to play fetch, and he likes to watch all the golf carts go by in the back yard. He also enjoys playing with other dogs and being social. Purchasing a puppy with imprint training is the best way to go for sure. We get so many compliments on how handsome he is too. Sam has always been there for us when we had questions about food, products, or training. We really appreciate all the help and suggestions along the way!
“Exactly what we were looking for in a companion and family protection dog”
Read More TestimonialsWhen my wife and I decided to get our German Shepard Dog, we had a lot of questions having never owned one. Sam & Red Rock K9 were amazing to work with, answering all our questions and ensured our experience before and after the sale was all that we had hoped for. Our RRK9, “Luna”, is exactly what we were looking for in a companion and family protection dog, and everything Sam said she would be if we put in the work on top of his puppy imprint program. Thanks for helping us to welcome this wonderful girl into our family.
