German Shepherds of the Hills

We raise purebred German Shepherd Dogs for family companions and all-purpose working dogs. They become very well socialized. It has always been of the utmost importance to us that our dogs be safe and trustworthy with children and also to possess respect, common sense and self control with our other animals. We appreciate our dogs being helpful working dogs and we breed accordingly to retain and e

nhance these traits. We place the majority of our puppies in homes where they quickly become part of the family. We offer AKC registered exceptional quality German Shepherd puppies for sale. We do believe in helping other breeders improve their breeding programs. We believe that breeders are only improving the breed if they allow other breeders access to high quality genetics. We are not in competition with other breeders, this is a joint effort for the whole German Shepherd Dog community to work together so that we all can have the very best. We do reserve the right to not sell our dogs or pups. If we do not believe they make an ideal match with a prospective buyer. We select our breeding dogs primarily from European bloodlines that have a proven track record of producing the finest German Shepherd Dogs in the world in regards to their health, temperament, structure and desire to work with their humans. Our current breeding program consists mostly of Czech and East German with some DDR working lines. There are many, many Champions, Siegers and Velmi Dobry dogs in our pedigrees. We highly prefer European dogs. Because we know that these dogs have been hip xrayed, professionally tested temperaments and working ability for many generations. Temperament is our number one focus in our breeding program. Though each dog has it's own personality that is influenced by it's environmental experiences, it's temperament is inherited and will largely influence how the dog's character develops. It is an absolute necessity to us that our dogs be good with kids. We desire our dogs to be very tractable, to have a strong desire to please, to learn and to work with their human in any task. It is vital that our dogs be intelligent, independent thinkers capable of making choices with good judgment to handle whatever life throws their way. It is precisely the excellent reasoning abilities of the breed combined with their trainability that made us choose to own and raise German Shepherds.
