All canines trained and bred here are from generations of Ring Sport, Police, Search and Rescue and Schutzhund dogs.  Our Beaucerons are from some of France’s oldest working bloodlines not seen often in America.

Our German Shepherds are from Czech lines or a mix of Czech/Belgian/German lines selected for their hunt drives and confidence. Hips and elbows are checked on all dogs.
