Our Dogs

Our dogs in 2008Black Dog Farm breeds and trains German Shepherd Dogs from lines that represent the breed's original character.  We strive to respect and honor the motto of the breed's founder, Capt. Max von Stephanitz:  "Utility and Intelligence."  We breed our dogs foremost for their mental stability, trainability and athleticism.  To this we add correct size and structure, which are so important in producing a healthy dog able to withstand the demands of sport, work or active companionship.  We test our breeding stock by training and titling them in Schutzhund, the traditional German Shepherd Dog breed test and sport, as well as in other venues such as AKC Obedience trials.  But we also assess their temperament as reliable, stable family companions.

 

All our dogs are either hand-selected European imports or the offspring of imports. We draw from both strict working (e.g. police K-9) and sport working (e.g. Schutzhund) lines.  As a result, we can offer you dogs that are bred with the potential to be sport, police, home or family protection dogs, therapy or assistance dogs, obedience and/or agility dogs, search and rescue dogs or just wonderful family companions.
