introduction
Our goal at Frankenhaus is to produce the best examples of the German Shepherd Dog possible, true to the AKC Standard in both conformation and temperament. Total dogs, sound of mind and body, capable of the herding tasks for which they were originally bred, as well as the multitude of additional tasks for which they have been adapted... trusting and trustworthy companions, loyal to and ready to defend their masters, as well as functional and beautiful animals.

why the german shepherd dog?
We have always felt that the German Shepherd Dog is the only "real" dog. Other breeds are poor imitations. This is an emotional conclusion, not a logical one. It doesn't really matter that the GSD is a relatively young breed. What matters is that the characteristics that were selected in the creation of the breed were the "right" ones. The German Shepherd is arguably the most versatile of breeds (filling many roles in society with equal skill and grace). It is a natural breed, requiring no special attention to look like a German Shepherd. Combine these things with the beauty and excitement of the "flying trot", the German Shepherd moving the way it would patrolling the boundary and herding sheep in the tending style, and you might begin to understand our enthusiasm for the breed.
