Who we are
My name is Igor. I was born and grew up in Ukraine and moved to USA in 1998. Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had an affinity for dogs. I’ve had a few furry companions growing up, but it wasn’t until I met my first GSD. After spending some time and getting to know the breed I fell in love with German Shepherds. I was amazed by their intelligence, loyalty, and their ability to learn complex commands. As I got older, I started to research more about the breed throgh books and documentaries. I became fascinated by their history and their various roles in Warld War II, law enforcement, military, and search and rescue operations. I was in awe of their athleticism, willines to serve and performing seemingly impossible feats, like jumping over obstacles and scaling walls. Eventually, I decided that I wanted to dedicate my life to GSDs.
How did we get into breeding?
Eventually, I decided that I wanted to dedicate my life to GSDs. I started by volunteering at a local animal shelter and working with GSDs that needed training and rehabilitation. I would spend hours every day working with them, teaching them basic commands, and helping them overcome any behavioral issues they may have had. As I gained more experience and knowledge, I decided to start my own GSD kennel. I knew that breeding and training GSDs was a huge responsibility, but I was confident that with my passion and dedication, I could create a successful and ethical breeding program. I put in countless hours researching pedigrees, finding the best studs and dams, and ensuring that all of my dogs had the proper health clearances.
What makes your breeding program special?
Through hard work and perseverance, we are trying to become renowned for producing some of the best GSDs in the region. I want my clients to be amazed by the temperament and intelligence of our dogs, and hoping many of them will come back to get additional puppies. I’m blessed to have them around me and I learned that raising and working with GSDs isn’t just a job, it’s a way of life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large-breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impaired vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
