About Us |
My name is
Wade Hatfield. My wife Sharon and I would
like to welcome you to our new website. We
have owned German Shepherds for over 15
years. For the last 4 years, we have been
building a breeding program and kennel that
i will operate in my retirement. We have
bred several litters, and plan to continue
to breed several quality litters per year.
We have sold dogs to various police forces,
and have some of our dogs working as far
north as Canada.
We keep our prices reasonable so that the
average working family can afford to own a
quality German Shepherd that was bred to the
standard of a true working dog and not an
over-bred show dog that has none of the true
qualities that the breed was originally bred
for. Currently we only ship in the US.
We love the old working bloodlines, and
truly believe that the German Shepherd
should be a working breed first and
foremost. Our dogs are working as Police K9s
and are being tested every day on the
streets with their partners. This is a true
working dog...!! Our breeding program reflects this
as you will see as you browse through our
dogs and view their photos and pedigrees. We
are striving to maintain the original vision
of Max von Stephanitz, reflected in these
quotes.
"The most striking feature of
the correctly bred German
Shepherd are firmness of nerves,
attentiveness, unshockability,
tractability, watchfulness,
reliability and incorruptibility
together with courage, fighting
tenacity, and hardness"
"Utility is the true
criterion of beauty"
"The breeding of Shepherd
dogs must be the breeding of
working dogs, this must always
be the aim or we shall cease to
produce working dogs"
- Captain Max von Stephanitz
(founder of the GSD and SV)
1864-1936 |
Through our
contacts and friends in Slovakia, we have
imported some of the finest working
bloodlines to be found anywhere. We have
spared no expense to build a kennel to
provide our dogs with a clean, well
maintained living area. We feed the best
quality food available and all of our dogs
are exercised daily. Our puppies are raised
in well maintained yards, not puppy pens and
kennels. To quote Captain von Stephanitz
again,
"Whenever the dog is kept in an
enclosed kennel, he will not
only degenerate physically,
becoming stiff, sluggish and
lazy, but will also become
mentally torpid, and lose all
his sharpness and vim"

We hope you
will spend some time browsing through our
website.

awhile... "
