Testimonials
“Thank you!!!! We are ENTHRALLED with our Zeus!!!! His temperament, intelligence, and looks are beyond superlative! He is growing up at over 4 months to look just like his father, Wigo, boasting luxurious silky and wavy long black hair across his back, like a magnificent cape! He is sweet, very quick to learn and easy to train! He loves to walk on the leash, and everywhere we go, people stop to admire him! He fit right into our family immediately!!!! We were surprised he already knew many commands, and the manual prepared by Los Angeles German Shepherds is very helpful in knowing what to feed him and how to care for him. Plus, we are so glad that Los Angeles German Shepherds continues to be available as a resource for any questions and future training classes. Los Angeles German Shepherds breed pedigreed puppies with a world class, unique ancestry (at least 11 number one world championship titles and 10 other top titles by my count just on the sire’s side). For us, this translates as POTENTIAL for our puppy to be many things: well mannered household pet, super smart, exceptionally conformed show dog, or family protection dog – whatever you are looking for in your puppy, we are happy to give our highest recommendation to the premier puppies of Los Angeles German Shepherds based on the wonderful experience we have had in the purchase of Zeus! ❤️”
– Roberta Haddad
“Our puppy Clementine is now about 3.5 months old. She is possibly the smartest German Shepard puppy we have had in the past 30 years! Sit, stay, come, go to the bathroom outside, she pretty much learned from her two older German Shepard brothers…4 years old, they play all day. This pup has an overall great personality! Olivia is great to work with. She has proven to care for her dogs. Any questions we have she responds back quickly to us. Thank you Olivia!”
– Sam Sam
“Olivia was absolutely transparent throughout the whole process and made it such a pleasant experience! My family and I got “Champ” a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. He is far exceeding our expectations thus far and we are looking forward to all this gorgeous GSD has to offer. The parents were on-site for our review and “Wigo” the sire is an absolute beast with a perfect temperament that we believe was passed on to our pup. Honestly a great experience. If you’re looking for a GSD, look no further – this is your spot! Thank you Olivia!!”

Training is provided exclusively to customers who purchase their dogs, focusing on obedience and personal protection skills such as defense against kidnapping, carjacking, and property threats.

Their facility is located on hundreds of acres in Texas and California, with delivery to major Southern California cities.
They are affiliated with the American Kennel Club and Shutzhund USA Club, and their dogs are bred for intelligence, loyalty, and working temperament. While they do not offer training to non-purchasers, they provide feeding manuals and follow-up support to new owners. Their protection dogs are described as highly trained to bite hard in real-life threat scenarios.
