About Us

We are the Holmes family, breeders of top-quality German Shepherds from Germany and the Czech Republic. Our sires and dams all come from world class pedigrees with proven show and competition success, and are all certified for healthy hips and elbows.

Our passion for dogs began at a very early age. Jon was raised in California with shepherds, and as a toddler, learned how to walk by holding onto the side of his trusty, loyal shepherd, Prince.  Growing up with shepherds, Jon always had a love for the breed, and as an adult, while working as a paramedic in the San Francisco Bay Area, he began training his German shepherd, Mack, as a Search & Rescue dog with the San Mateo sheriff’s office. Unfortunately, Mack had genetic health issues that he later learned originated from his mother’s side, and could no longer continue training. From there, Jon continued to own and train a variety of shepherds from various rescues.

Fast forward to today, and that passion and dedication to the German shepherd breed continues. Each dog we raise is treated as a member of our family, whelped in our house, and is socialized with children and other animals in order to give you a loyal family dog, as well as an obedient, confident, and determined working dog.
