German Shepherd Breeder Near San Luis Obispo, CA

Why I love German Shepherds Dogs:

Imagine a shepherd, 2000 years ago, tending his sheep. These men were probably quiet, a little introverted.. Always  watching their herd.  Dedicated to their sheep, they were  willing to put their lives on the line to care for and protect them. A German Shepherd is just that; loyal, watchful, intelligent. Of course, all dogs love to play, but that doesn't define them. They are thinkers. Maybe they think too much, like me perhaps. I love the way they move, the way they slink, and of course, their beauty. Like all dogs, they provide us love and companionship, but Shepherds also teach us about the truest kind of love… one that lays their life down for a friend.
