Canis familaris, feral, social predators
with their genetic tapes arrested at the puppy stage. The relationship
between dogs and man is one that transcends recorded history. Indeed
dogs may be the very reason for the survival of the human species.
Our ancient pact with the pack responsible for our current status of dominant
life form on this planet.
I've lived with dogs since I can remember.
They have provided some of the best unconditional
companionship and loyalty I have ever experienced. Many of my
dogs over the years have been various shepherd crosses. The terrific
qualities and versatility of those hybrids are what first interested me
in the German Shepherd Dog as a breed. Over the past few years we
have acquired several incredible GSD's. Although they have their
idiosyncrasies like any breed, we have never been disappointed in our choices.
Sigurd is a 1.5 year male GSD. He is protective and aggressive with
strangers, but very affectionate when he gets to know you. His favorite
game is boomerang retrieval.
Gudrun is our 2 year old female GSD. She has matured to a beautiful
sable coloration. She is quick to learn and will nearly stand on
her head for a small piece of boiled liver.
"Bryn" is a 15 week old female GSD. She is the product of Sig and Gud (above). She has been well socialized and early observation indicates a quick study and great drive potential. We are currently in the process of placing Bryn and her brother. Interested individuals can email us below for more information.
A word on training
Socialization. The single biggest problem with GSD's and
other large naturally protective breeds is the lack of socialization. That
is- human contact and other varied stimuli. Insufficiently socialized dogs
can and will bite strange people, carry on endlessly annoying your neighbors,
and improperly contained, be a menace to public safety. But
it doesn't have to be like that..
