Congratulations on your choice of a German Shepherd Dog. These dogs have
been bred for quality and excellent family oriented temperament. The German
Shepherd dog originated in 1899, at Karlsruhe, Germany because of the efforts
of Captain Max Von Stephanitz , the father of the breed and others. By carefully
breeding selected animals and keeping only the very best, this devoted group of
German breeders brought into being the breed known as the German Shepherd
Dog (Deutsche Schaferhunde). Scharf’s Shepherds are dedicated to sound
quality breeding .
