Welcome to Granville German Shepherds!
Granville German Shepherd's mission is to produce high quality, versitile German Shepherd Dogs. Our breeding dogs are thorougly health tested by qualified veterinarians and specialists, and registered with organizations such as the Orthopedic Foundation For Animals (OFA) to aide in the prevention of illness and disease for future generations. We have an open mind approach to our breeding program, and believe that a good dog is a good dog, regardless of pedigrees (lines), titles, or color. It is extremely important to maintain genetic diversity within the breed, looking at the whole picture rather than focusing on single aspects, be they health, structural, color, title, or pedigree related.
We have bred 2 litters as Granville German Shepherds and are very proud of our progeny.
Here at Granville German Shepherds, we are proud members, in good standing, of several dog clubs and organizations including: The American Kennel Club (AKC), The United Kennel Club (UKC), The German Shepherd Dog Club of America (GSDCA), The German Shepherd Dog Club of America - Working Dog Association (GSDCA-WDA), The German Shepherd Dog Training Club of Chicago, The United German Shepherd Dog Alliance, and On The Border Herding Club. We are also signers of the GSDCA Breeder's Code of Ethics.
Our dogs are Handler/Owner Trained. This allows us to discover each dogs' strengths and weaknesses. That being said, there's not enough time or money to train and title everybody at once, so just because our dogs are not trained or titled in a certain sport doesn't mean they cannot perform well in those sports. We try to pick a favorite activity for each dog and focus on titling there.
