Here is a little bit about us and what we are all about.
I am 22 years old and have been raising dogs all of my life.
My dad used to breed German Shepherds and beagles along with Morgan and Clydesdale horses and I am the only one out of 9 children
that carried on in his footsteps.
I have had a lot of experience
with animals. I have always loved the German Shepherd breed because they are so useful in so many areas. They can do almost
any task that you set before them and out of many different breeds out there they are the most widely used dog for police
work.
I strongly believe in early socialization and our
puppies are constanly being handled and loved. I own mostly imports because I love the drive and determination that is
bred into those dogs. All of my dogs have strong temperaments and will protect you with their lives if need be. I will not
own an aggressive dog. All of my dogs are 100% people proof and adore children.
I have been breeding on my own now since 2002 but I have been working with dogs and helping my dad with animals since I was
a little girl.. My goal is not to be a puppy mill but to produce strong tempered German Shepherd dogs
with the old style look. None of my dogs are overly angulated but are not high in the rear either. They all have a nice
top line and good clean movement. A German shepherd was originally built to consist of 90 degree angles and I try to come
as close to that as possible. Even changing the angle a fraction throws everything off. I breed for temperment, trainability,
courage and beauty.
I will not breed a dog unless it has been HIP
checked. Most of all I will not breed a dog that I do not WHOLEHEARTEDLY believe will better the breed.
If you are looking for a strong tempered dog with some stubbornness that has the drive to work but can also compete in the
ring structurally and mentally that is what I have. A German shepherd is a strong dog that REQUIRES attention,
strong obedience training, and most of all socialization. 100% of what you put into the dog will be returned
to you many times over. My dogs are all very willing to work and are fast learners. One saying that I heard that I totally
agree with is that : Every trainer gets the dog he or she deserves. Training is up to you and what you are willing to put
into the dog. ALL DOGS ARE TRAINABLE.
Most of my dogs come from DDR German working lines
and are bred to be intelligent, loyal, protective but above all amazing and caring family pets.
I got married in June, 2007 to Matthew Lantz and now live in Emmett, Idaho. My Husband shares my love and admiration
for the breed and we will continue to raise German Shepherds and will continue to provide families with their IDEAL pet.
We bought a house on 5.6 acres in Emmett, Idaho. We will
be working on getting our kennels set up and by the end of 2008 we hope to have our facilities completed. We will
be building a barn with 8 10x10 kennels in doors with 4 on each side. They will also have dog doors with access
to a 10x10 kennel outside. We are also building 4 heated 10x10 puppy kennels at one end of the barn with outdoor
kennels as well. We will also have different fenced areas so that dogs will be able to run and play. We encourage
everyone to visit, meet the dogs and see how we raise and care for our dogs/puppies.
Note... If you have ever heard that a German Shepherd is not a good family dog or is not
good around kids then please look at my site and see the dogs interacting with the kids that they ALL love and adore so much.
