Affinity for the
German Shepherd
Beautiful, noble and intelligent, the German
Shepherd dog plays a
variety of different roles. From service dog to police K-9...
to loyal companion and family protector.
These magnificent animals are an integral
part of our
society.

Breed founder, Captain Max von Stephanitz,
set about
looking for a dog that existed only in his mind:
"...firm of nerve, attentiveness,
unshockability,
tractability, watchfulness, reliability, and incorruptibility together
with courage, fighting tenacity and hardness."
At a dog show, he discovered a
clever
and tenacious
wolf-like canine and knew he was onto something. His dream was soon
realized and the amazingly versatile GSD became reality.

This site is inspired by and
dedicated to
Schatzi...
"He is your friend, your partner,
your
defender, your
dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the
last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such
devotion."
