We are a small hobby/show breeder located in south central Missouri, just north of the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks, MO. We are located on a small farm made up of 48 acres with a 3-acre lake that our German Shepherds love! We have a dear love and appreciation for the German Shepherd Dog. We have worked and continue to work hard to try to improve the breed of the German Shepherd Dog. At Century She
pherds, Our German Shepherd puppies are produce with careful planning in place. We breed our litters focusing our attention on the health and temperament of the German Shepherd Puppies we sale. First and foremost, we breed for the health of the German Shepherd, excellent temperament in our German Shepherd puppies, and solid nerves in every German Shepherd we use for breeding. Second in our breeding is the beauty of our German Shepherd Dogs and puppies. The German Shepherd Dogs that are chosen for breeding consist of through bred European working and show/lines. All of our German Shepherd Dogs receive yearly vet exams, up to date on vaccines, exercised daily, and are socialized with people and other dogs. Our main focus is on the physical and mental health of all of our German Shepherd puppies going to their new homes. We breed to improve the German shepherd breed and try to maintain a consistency in our puppies. All of our German shepherd pups come with a written guarantee, vet checked, AKC registerable, and are socialized with our family and other animals before going to their new homes. We want to be able to provide you with a German shepherd puppy that will fit into your life and meet your needs and expectations out of a German Shepherd Dog. We want to be a part in helping you decide what German Shepherd puppy would be right for you and also picking the right family for our German Shepherd puppies. Regardless of the color, they should have the look of nobility, a confident temperament, and soundness of mind and body. As a hobby breeder, soundness in mind and body is a major focus in my dogs and puppies. The lines we have chosen are used in the work field, police K-9's, service dogs, companions with families, and in the show ring. We are involved in the ongoing study and research of Genetics to strengthen our knowledge of the German Shepherd Dog. We are committed to a better breed with continuous education on hereditary and health issues. Our dogs are well cared for and are well mannered which makes them a pleasure to be around. We always do our best to provide hardy, healthy, and happy puppies. My goal is to promote and better this wonderful breed. We feel that in order to better the breed as a whole, it takes a lot of careful thought and examining of the parents but also their lineage. The German Shepherd Dog has a valiant and worthy past, and I hope to continue this heritage. Our puppies come from an extensive line of health clearances and excellent structure. We try to the best of our ability to fit the person with the correct dog, and direct people away from choosing a puppy merely of looks because looks do not make a sound-minded dog. When we use the word sound, we mean that these puppies will excel in any STABLE environment. The genetic soundness of these pups you wont finds just anywhere. You want a family pet, companion or protection dog? These puppies are you best friend they will follow you unquestionably wherever you go, they will listen to your days troubles, and melt the hardest of hearts with those big brown eyes. The expression in our puppies eyes is so amazing you cant help but smile when you see it. They have tons of energy, they will play with you until you tire out, they would lay down their life to protect you from harm, and the soundness that is genetically breed into these puppies allows for a very versatile dog. If the show quality is what you looking for they have that potential too. These puppies are of solid, big bone structure (there is no perfect dog in all aspects) but do some homework, look at other GSD's around then look at ours. You make the decision! If you are police or military and looking for a puppy to train, we have something to show you! These pups come from a very long line of service dogs, certified in narcotics, bomb detection, SARS, therapy, tracking and protection work. These pups are SOUND, SOLID true German Shepherd Dogs! You will get out of these pups exactly what you put into them. You have to give your puppy guidance and direction, GSDβs need obedience, love and attention and this is your role. If you are not willing to give the puppy you pick out the time it deserves, then you shouldnβt buy one. Do some research, learn about the breed as a whole, and familiarize yourself with what is the correct temperament and structure of a German Shepherd before you choose a breeder to purchase from. Sincerely,
Erika Martin, Owner
