We’ve always had Labrador Retrievers but our 6 year old son had been begging for a German Shepherd for a year. Honestly, I was quite skeptical about the breed until we met a Red Rock puppy named Ranger on the ski slopes in Angel Fire, NM. The boys on the ski team were all petting him and playing with him in the snow. The owner told me I should contact Sam at Red Rock K9. I called Sam the next day and said “I don’t want a dog for sport or shows, I just want a pet that’s good with kids, breeding and titles don’t matter to me”. I was completely wrong. After some discussions with Sam we decided to put our name on the list for a puppy.

A couple months later, we decided to get a dark sable male import puppy that Sam was offering from his partners in the Czech Republic. We named him Rocky. He has been a fabulous addition to our family. His vet said that Rocky has the best temperament she’s ever seen for a young German Shepherd puppy. He goes everywhere with the neighborhood kids and they pretend he is a trained military dog or police K9. He is already very protective of our son but in a confident, stable way….not in a crazy aggressive way. He has nerves of steel and is really excelling at training. We need a well trained pet because we take our dogs everywhere with us and Sam worked with his contacts in the Czech Republic to find just what we wanted. Aside from being a magnificent looking dog, he has excellent breeding and the best temperament we could ever hope for.

If you are on the fence at all about getting a German Shepherd, I urge you to contact Sam. He is extremely knowledgeable about the breed and can really educate you about the importance of a good breeding program. Let him help match you up with dog that fits your lifestyle!
