Welcome to Vom Haus Himmelsoldat Long & Stock Coat, Workingline & Showline German Shepherds! Thank you for stopping by! Please like and follow our page so you can stay updated on our future breedings and litters available, and as always, feel free to contact us with any questions you may have! Read on to learn a little about us, and our breeding standards:
We are a small kennel based in Central North Carolina. We are extremely passionate, and committed to producing top of the line Workingline, and Showline German Shepherds. Because the health of our dogs, and the quality of our puppies, is paramount to us, we will never breed dogs who have not been health tested. Our Breeding dogs have been trained by us, and have proven themselves to have stable nerves, strong work ethic, biddability, and high food and ball drives, all of which are some of the most important components to building a solid dog with the capability and willingness to work, after all, that is what this breed was created to do, to work!
We not only breed German Shepherds but we train them as well. We are actively involved in Schutzhund (German for "protection dog") which is a German dog sport, and was developed in the early 1900’s in Germany as a breed suitability test for German Shepherds. Schutzhund requires the dog to prove themselves in three different areas...tracking, obedience, and protection work, this sport requires years of dedicated training to be able to compete and receive a title in the sport. By being active in this sport and training to compete, It awards us the opportunity to know all the important nuances of our breeding stock(as many unknown traits are often uncovered during the extensive training) . We are able to identify their strengths as well as where they could be stronger. It is with that knowledge, that we are able to identify good pairings for breeding, as we will make sure to breed with a dog who is strong in all of the most important areas but also very strong in areas where our dog may not be as strong. The fact is, no dog is perfect, and we strive to only breed to excellent dogs who compliment what our dogs already have, and impart a trait that we would like to strengthen. We will never breed to dogs who have not had the proper health testing and to whom we have not witnessed their working ability as well as their temperaments first hand.
Breeding German Shepherds is not simply something we do, it’s our passion!
