Austerlitz

German Shepherds

Welcome!

Austerlitz German Shepherds is a legacy breeder of German Shepherd Dogs.  Founded in 1990 we have bred  over 80  litters, always home raised, and bred to the FCI breed standard.   While our dogs have excelled in the show ring and on the trial field, we are most proud of their qualities as companion dogs in today’s demanding world.    Our dogs are carefully and thoughtfully bred to be wonderful companion dogs with correct, moderate,  athletic structure, and robust health to carry them soundly through their long lives.    “Pet” homes are never second best here, or an afterthought, and instead are the complete focus of our breeding program, which now spans over 30 years and 7  generations of home bred mother and sire lines. 

Ethically and responsibly producing companion dogs for the needs of the modern home.
