Von Mathausen German Shepherds

von Mathausen German Shepherds specializes in breeding and raising World Class West German Show Lines due to the stable temperament and versatility. Well bred West German Show Lines can be used for a variety of purposes, such as Schutzhund, Show, Search and Rescue, Therapy, Service or as Magnificent Family Companions. von Mathausen West German Show Lines are bred for Beauty, Intelligence, Temperament, Loyalty, Courage, Working Ability, and Show.

Our German Shepherd dogs are not sent to a professional trainer to be trained for a Schutzhund title. We prefer to train and title our German Shepherds here. This is how we get to know the capabilities of the dogs that we are breeding. Training the dogs here helps us to make decisions on how to improve upon what we have. I have been a member of the German Shepherd Club of America-Working Dog Association and the Carolina German Shepherd Working dog club since 1998. Our German Shepherds are trained here and are exposed to real life situations and become part of my family.
