History
German shepherds have always been my favorite dog breed as my father had them in the military and even brought them back from Germany. Star shepherds is a breeder of the original large boned straight back German shepherd.
Specialties
Star Shepherds is a small hobby breeder located in the country just outside of Austin, Texas. German Shepherds are my love, my passion... I developed a profound admiration for the breed from my father who had them in the military, and instilled within me a deep love and respect for them from my earliest memory. They have always been my favorite breed of dog. Here at Star Shepherds, we are interested in the preservation and improvement of the original large boned, straight back German working-line dogs that originated in Europe. It is our opinion that German shepherds are the most intelligent, faithful, noble, and above all loyal dogs you will ever own. They are not just ANY breed. There are a LOT of intelligent dogs, and a LOT of athletic dogs, but the uniqueness of the German shepherd is that they sum up the best qualities of all working dogs into one breed. This is why they are used worldwide by both military, private security, and police. Those who are fearful of this breed don't understand its purpose, relationship to its owners, and its potential and willingness to want to please and offer its life for its owners. I have had many dogs that have been wonderful, intelligent pets, but none of them compare to the intelligence, loyalty and intuitiveness that the German shepherd just has naturally. All of our pups are delivered and hand raised in our home with the help and love of our three daughters...
