About Us
Here is a little bit about us and what we are all about.
I am 24 years old and have been around dogs all of my life. My dad used to breed German Shepherds and beagles along with Morgan and Clydesdale horses and I am the only one out of 9 children that carried on in his footsteps.
I have had a lot of experience with animals. I have always loved the German Shepherd breed because they are so useful in so many areas. They can do almost any task that you set before them and out of many different breeds out there they are the most widely used dog for police work.

I strongly believe in early socialization and our puppies are constanly being handled and loved. I own mostly imports because I love the drive and determination that is bred into those dogs. All of my dogs have strong temperaments and will protect you with their lives if need be. I will not own an aggressive dog. All of my dogs are 100% people proof and adore children.
I have been breeding on my own now since 2002 but I have been working with dogs and helping my dad with animals since I was a little girl. My goal is not to be a puppy mill but to produce strong tempered German Shepherd dogs with the old style look. None of my dogs are overly angulated but are not high in the rear either. They all have a nice top line and good clean movement. A German shepherd was originally built to consist of 90 degree angles and I try to come as close to that as possible. Even changing the angle a fraction throws everything off. I breed for temperment, trainability, courage and beauty.
I will not breed a dog unless it has been HIP checked. Most of all I will not breed a dog that I do not WHOLEHEARTEDLY believe will better the breed.
If you are looking for a strong tempered dog with some stubbornness that has the drive to work but can also compete in the ring structurally and mentally that is what I have. A German shepherd is a strong dog that REQUIRES attention, strong obedience training, and most of all socialization. 100% of what you put into the dog will be returned to you many times over. My dogs are all very willing to work and are fast learners. One saying that I heard that I totally agree with is that : Every trainer gets the dog he or she deserves. Training is up to you and what you are willing to put into the dog. ALL DOGS ARE TRAINABLE.
Most of my dogs come from DDR German working lines and are bred to be intelligent, loyal, protective but above all amazing and caring family pets.
I got married in June, 2007 to Matthew Lantz and now live in Emmett, Idaho. My Husband shares my love and admiration for the breed and we will continue to raise German Shepherds and will continue to provide families with their IDEAL pet.

We found out in October of 2008 that we are expecting our first child. We will be due mid June of 2009 and are looking forward to the new addition to our family. Our baby arrived 6-19-09. She is already interacting with the dogs and they all love her. She goes outside with me every day to "help" take care of them and has already "held" her first puppies. She is a joy and we are looking forward to having our own little girl around to play and love on our dogs.
In November 2009 we found out that once again we are expecting and are due Aug. 2010. It will be another little girl and will fit in just as great as the first one.
All of our dogs LOVE kids and we 100% trust any of them with our own at all times. We do not worry about anything when they are around and they all already adore her and you can see them "change" and show a more alert protective side when she is around. They watch over her and make sure that she is safe. She can pull and tug on them all she wants and crawl all over any of them and they couldn't be more thrilled. A GSD is a true FAMILY DOG!
Note... If you have ever heard that a German Shepherd is not a good family dog or is not good around kids then please look at my site and see the dogs interacting with the kids that they ALL love and adore so much.
