At Selten Ruhe Kennels, our dogs are chosen for how they exemplify the German Shepherd breed in Health, Temperament, Type and Courage.

We match our German Shepherd Stud Males to our Females carefully. They are matched not just on pedigree, but on how their strengths compliment or strengthen each other. With years of experience in theriogenology we know how to follow dna traits, how to match dominant and recessive traits to best ensure phenomenal offspring.

Although most of our German Shepherds are titled or active working dogs on our sheep farm, we judge each stud on his own merits first hand, with emphasis placed on Sound Mind and Sound Body.

We offer Training and Behavior Modification through K9 Camp
