We strive to have a program that includes having titled GSD's that are sound in body and mind.
Welcome to vom Steinhund
Our German Shepherds are West German showline however we now have a Hungarian import daughter that is working line. We do Schutzhund (obedience, tracking, protection) with all our dogs.
They are conformationally sound and are great family pets as well.
We are located in central Ohio.
I have been working with dogs for about 15 years. During the late 90's I was secretary then President for the Lancaster Ohio Kennel Club/ Mt. Pleasant Kennel Club. I had shown my Shetland Sheepdogs and Rottweilers in AKC conformation. Trained and obtained CGC's and Therapy Dog titles also. Began schutzhund training around 2000 for a while with my Rottweilers and then started again with German Shepherds in July 2007. We believe in a healthy lifestyle for our dogs and we believe in genetic testing and having titles on the dogs. We also feed a totally raw diet to our dogs. We do not have a 'kennel' situation, our dogs live in our home with us.
I am the Secretary for HondenSport Ohio Schutzhund Club.
My son, Conner, and an Old World Kennel Rott puppy.
The German Shepherd Dog is a strong, agile, well muscled animal, alert and full of life. He is well balanced, with harmonious development of the body and mind. He has look of quality and nobility--difficult to define, but unmistakable when present.
The German Shepherd has a personality marked by direct and fearless, but not hostile, expression, self-confidence. The dog must be approachable, quietly standing its ground and showing confidence and willingness to meet overtures without itself making them. He is poised, but when the occasion demands, eager and alert; both fit and willing to serve in its capacity as companion, watchdog, blind leader, herding dog, or guardian, whichever the circumstances may demand.
