Working German Shepherds from good lines can pretty well do anything their owners need
them to do. From search and rescue, obedience, flyball and agility, right up to police work and
just plain looking after every member of the family, a good Shepherd will make a life healthier
and happier. Below you'll see a couple of the 70+ police service dogs and some of the working
dogs we've produced over the years.

I think Hasso shows that a dog bred for work
can also be an awesome companion and family
animal. There is never a day when he's not
cracking me up (I work from a home office most
of the week). Lots of character. Very vocal, all
kinds of different groans and growls and barks
and huffs and woofs. Barks range all the way
from a poodle like squeak to roaring like a
wounded boar grizzly.
I have zero doubt he would have been an
excellent police dog. Huge prey drive but smart
enough to be scared of grizzlies.
He's like a wolf in many ways, except you can trust him around little kids. And he's never even
come close to biting me, even tho there has been plenty of times when I was cranking up the
pressure and he could have. Just really impressive, but you have to know him - I can guarantee
he'll bite anyone else who leans on him to much. My family feels completely secure from all
threats with him in our pack!

Although we do not breed specifically to
produce police service dogs, we have placed more
than 70 in all parts of N. America. Many have been
sold with basic obedience, tracking and
protection already in place.
