About Czech Working Line German Shepherds

We are German Shepherd breeders. Our breeding focuses on imported, working line pedigrees from both Czech and East German (DDR) lines. Our focus is on producing healthy dogs that live a long time and are super easy to train. We measure success by the amount of joy our German Shepherd puppies bring our customers. With many of our customers becoming life-long friends, it has been a great privilege to see many of these friends return over the decades for a second or third puppy. If you are new to our family, read below to see why a Czech Working Line German Shepherd puppy has become the gold standard in working line German Shepherds.

All puppies we produce are from imported, IGP titled, working line pedigrees— never show lines! Every puppy we raise will be AKC registered. For most of our dogs, pedigrees going back generations are significantly from imported Czech and DDR lines. Each dog has been selected to reflect the best of international working line German Shepherd breed standard. In addition to health, the trainability of Czech German Shepherds and DDR German Shepherds make these lines ideal candidates for individuals and families desiring super easy to train puppies. Our puppies make ideal family companions.

German Shepherds that make great family companions.

Families with children constitute a significant percent of those whom take home one of our puppies. With six children ourselves, we recognize the value of dogs with a good “off switch.” Realistically, a dog with the kind of drive to repel out of helicopter as a special forces dog won’t be a good fit for 98% of our customers. It is a rare and special person that has the time and focus to live life with that degree of drive. We intentionally choose breeding stock with a firm off switch. Dog with stables nerves, good with kids— social dogs that are loyal and make great activity and companion dogs.

Are you interested in a highly trainable German Shepherd?

Two of our favorite breeding females are both IGP titled daughters of 2 x WUSV world champion Gero z Berounsky. Another one of our breeding girls’ is a Qvido Vepeden grand daughter. Like Gero, Qvido is a 2 x WUSV world champion. Winning the WUSV is not like winning the Westminster dog show. It’s not a glorified beauty pageant where a judge looks at a dog’s movement and choosing the dog closest in conformation to the breed standard. Quite the opposite! In keeping with Captain Emile Stephanitz’ famous quote that “all German Shepherds are working dogs, else they are not true German Shepherds,” Gero and Qvido proved their capacity for training through testing, obtaining the highest scores in the world in obedience, tracking and protection exams. If you are interested in a puppy proven to be highly trainable, here at Czech Working Lines, we have these in spades!

German Shepherd Dogs that make great service dogs!

One of our recent customers shared how his 8 month old puppy (a grand daughter of 2 x WUSV world champion Gero z Berounsky) passed its VA service dog exam at eight months of age. According to our customer, as many as half the dogs taking that specific exam pass. And, many of these dogs have been in training for two years, and still half often do not pass the exam. In contrast, our customer described with great pride how his pup passed this rigorous exam at a mere eight months of age! The biddable nature of these dogs enables them to thrive in a wide range of context. While many of our families are mostly looking for a great family dog, some are looking for a support or therapy dog, others a full on service dog. And lest we forget, yes, German Shepherds have been bred with great instincts as protection dogs.

Do you have aspirations to train in bite work to a high level?

Not only do our puppies tend to make good family protection dogs, many will also make great prospects for competing in protection dog sports!  Both our Gero daughters and our Qvido line dogs produce little “land sharks.” Their highly trainable nature with strong prey drive make many of these pups ideal candidates for IGP. Whether you are new to the sport, or looking for something to compete on a national level, we have litters on both ends of the spectrum. Let us know the level in protection dog sports at which you desire to compete. We will work with you to match you to a puppy and pedigree with potential to thrive at any level.

Our litters combine top tier, world champion, Schutzhund titled pedigrees.  We focus on producing healthy, easy to train dogs. The German Shepherd puppies we sell have been selected from strong working lines with a good off switch. By a good off switch we are describing a dog with great protection instincts, but can turn it off when they come in the house with family and children. 

We are a family run working line German Shepherd breeding program

As a small, family program, we offer just a few litters each year. We are not a commercial breeders. This gives us time work with our puppies as dog trainers. Interested in “dog training” services? We offer a puppy training boot camp. Our expert dog training services includes both “puppy obedience training” as well as “puppy training in crate.” Those early days in dog training is a great time to kickstart “puppy potty training.” Our puppy training boot camp can be a great way to jump start puppy obedience training. Think happy and obedient puppy rather than a terrorizing two year old! Click the following link for details on our German Shepherd puppy training methodology.

All our German Shepherd litters are the result of rigorous health testing

Every German Shepherd breeding is the result of rigorous health testing. We only use Degenerative Myelopathy (DM) clear studs. Because DM is a recessive gene, in order for a puppy to be DM affected, it has to inherit a copy of the gene from each parent. Committed to the highest quality health, we only use DM clear studs, none of our litters will ever be DM affected. Similarly, we only use studs with 3rd party verified great hips and elbows. Not good or fair, but great! These are just a few of the reasons why our working line German Shepherds consistently score so well in health testing. With a clear goal of producing some of the healthiest and easiest to train German Shepherds available for sale across the entire USA, not only do our dogs undergo rigorous health testing, but they are the result of pairing some of the world’s top scoring working line German Shepherd pedigrees.

Our working line German Shepherds have been bred to make great Schutzhund/IGP sport dogs

Our pedigrees have been carefully selected from many of the highest scoring world champions in Schutzhund competition. Not only do we have IGP titled studs, some being high scoring IGP 3 studs, we also have IGP titled females. We have been extra-ordinarily blessed to import daughters top WUSV winning world champions. Let us know what kind of drive you are looking for in a puppy and we can help match you with the right litter. And our stud dogs are just out of this world. See our IGP 3 titled Querro as an example of a premier “working line German Shepherd.”

Our working line German Shepherds have pedigrees to excel as police dogs and in law enforcement

These are dogs with some of the highest ranked IGP scores in the world. Many of these dogs make ideal candidates for law enforcement searching for  police dogs for sale. Whether simply searching for a good family protection dog or something more serious for high level IGP sport, starting with great breeding stock is a must!

Our Commitment to Producing Better and Better German Shepherd Puppies

Working towards our mission of improving the breed requires ethical breeders continually make the kind of hard choices. Hard choices are necessary if one intends to continually improve better and better German Shepherd puppies. Dogs of Querro’s caliber (Querro od Hradčanského rybníka), our beloved Schutzhund tested, IGP 3 titled stud is the kind of dog that moves us towards our mission of improving the breed. Or you can look at Atena’s pedigree on working dogs. A daughter of multiple world champion WUSV winner Gero z Berounsky, Atena is the kind of dog that makes your heart kind of skip a beat. The German Shepherd puppies she produces are super trainable puppies. Very clever dogs. Health, longevity and super trainable German Shepherd puppies is our goal.
