WELCOME!

We are a small kennel located on a family farm near Sioux City, Iowa.
Our breeding goal is to produce German Shepherds for all types of situations:  K-9, narcotics, Search & Rescue, Conformation, Schutzhund, 4-H, Agility, Herding, Pet Therapy,and most importantly, family members.

Each litter is carefully planned with specific goals in mind.  Our puppies are socialized and introduced to all the sights and sounds of a farm.  Each puppy is tested to match the right puppy with the right home.

Our dogs aren't just part of the program, they're part of the family.  That's why we are different from many breeders.  Yes, our dogs compete locally and nationally, but they are more than that.  You'll find our dogs aren't just pictured as statues, but also as real dogs in natural settings like our yard, our farmland, our creek, on trailrides, and such.
