About Us

 We are a family operated small farm in central Maryland. Our boys get the fun part, enjoying a loving relationship with our beautiful animals . One of the greatest joys as parents is witnessing these moments and bonds . Our farm has been blessed with many animals ..of course our wonderful German Shepherds, cats, goats, chickens, ducks & miniature cows over the years.

 Since becoming the proud owner of my first German Shepherd over 10 years ago(After many years of watching family members with this breed, with a slight obsession). I have fallen head over heels for this breed. My boy was so loyal and compassionate, it was like he had been missing from my life.

 For over 12 enchanting years, I have immersed myself in the realm of Labor & Delivery, cherishing the moments spent with families as they welcome new lives into their families. My passion for animals, intertwined with my experiences, has led me to a harmonious path. After personally searching for a well bred pure bred German Shepherd, I felt a need that I could fulfill & provide a positive impact. I have devoted myself not the noble art of breeding German Shepherds, fostering strong bonds with remarkable breeders & veterinarians rich in wisdom, with a personal desire of continuous learning.

 We are a family-run operation from our home, prioritizing our family & dogs. While we appreciate interest in meeting us, safety for our unvaccinated family members is paramount. To share our values in caring for our dogs, we provide quality media content & are available by phone communication. In-person visit are only for approved families/ individuals. Please explore our Galleries, Facebook / Instagram, and Videos to determine if you are ready to complete the puppy application for visit approval.
