About Golly-G

My goal as a breeder of German Shepherds is to produce beautiful West German Show type.

This is, in my opinion, the "real" German Shepherd.

 My breeding animals are of sound mind, with steady loving temperaments. I do my best to avoid reactive or high strung animals. First and foremost, my dogs go as pets, they are show dogs second. While I do believe it is important for the breed standard to retain the working side, I do not, myself, participate in bite work. This is a personal choice and is nothing against those that do. 

​

I have over thirty years experience in dog breeding so it's important to me to utilize health

testing. It's also important to me to understand how genetics work. While I am by no means an expert, I do keep up to date on most genetic studies and do my best to educate myself on inherited traits, including disease. 

This is why I use multiple sources for evaluation, including genome testing. The more information I have on a trait, the better choices I can make.
