German Shepherds • Minnesota

Before They Become Your Dog.

They’re ours.

Before one of our puppies ever goes home, they’re part of our family. They’re loved, handled, taught, socialized, challenged and given new experiences every day. We put our time into getting to know them and giving them the strongest beginning we can.

About Us

Our love for the German Shepherd

Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs, cats and all kinds of other animals, and I’ve always loved spending time with them—playing, teaching, training, walking and simply having them by my side.

I had always wanted a German Shepherd. At first, I was drawn to their beautiful appearance and the sense of protection and security they provide. Once I owned one, I fell in love with how truly well-rounded the breed is.

3

Trainability

Engagement, intelligence and willingness to work with people matter to us.

The Whole Dog

Lineage, structure, coat, appearance and personality all play a part.

Health • Genetics • Transparency

100% Embark DNA Tested

Our lines are Embark DNA tested and clear across 250+ genetic health conditions.

Genetic screening is one part of how we make thoughtful breeding decisions. We pair DNA information with what we know about the dogs themselves—their health history, temperament, structure and family life.

250+ genetic conditions screened Titan × Sapphire parent testing Health information shared transparently
DNA screening helps identify inherited risks; it does not replace veterinary care or guarantee future health.
