German Shepherd Dog : About The Breed

Strong, Agile, well-muscled, alert and full of life is how the breed standard describes German Shepherds. They should present a smooth outline of curves rather than angles and move effortlessly while working. German Shepherds are incredibly loyal to their people and must be a part of every day life with their families.

We are so excited and honored that Caradoc is a Bronze Breeder of Merit for German Shepherds.

​

This AKC program recognizes breeders’ involvement and successes in AKC events and the dedication to completing health testing of all breeding stock. We are thrilled that our German Shepherd Puppies are representing the breed so well. As a German Shepherd Breeder, we are honored.

Caradoc German Shepherds

Our Journey

For the last 40 years, a German Shepherd has been a staple in our home. We appreciated their loyalty, big hearts and sound temperaments from the beginning. 


As we started breeding and competing, we mainly focused on performance events. We love completing in Obedience, Agility, Rally, herding and have done so for many years. We also appreciate moderate dogs that are competitive in the AKC Conformation ring, where we have found success with our dogs.

When planning for our next generation as a German Shepherd Breeder, we focus on sound temperament and structure as both are incredibly important for the German Shepherd puppies' future- This priority is the same whether they are going to be shown or not.  While we love seeing our dogs win in the show ring, what we are most proud of is seeing updates from our puppies in loving forever homes, living their best life.  

German Shepherds : Available Dogs and Puppies

  We have a couple of amazing German Shepherd puppies from our Lincoln x Tess litter that are available to loving forever homes. They are remarkable dogs who have a great start in crate training, potty training, traveling and basic obedience!

These are puppies we've held back as potential show dogs for Caradoc.
