About German Shepherds
A Dedicated Breeder is Unique and Vital for Breed Preservation and Standards Imprinting
At Appleridge German Shepherds, we've been providing top-quality World Renowned West German pedigrees going back to the original Wildsteiger Land & Arminius Martin brothers kennels from the founding Col Max von Stephanitz in Germany. Our team of experienced professionals are passionate about animals and dedicated to providing the best possible care to your furry family members. There is NO greater commitment when considering the Life of a Breed Specific Breeder. Unlike a Broker that is making money from dogs and pups without the Lifetime Commitment of personal influence and decades of preservation of specific qualities that "they" are carefully, lovingly, and time consumingly implementing for the breed standard purpose or agenda such as perfecting a skill set through genetics. This task is daunting and time consuming. Not for the light hearted. NOT to make money since a "truly skilled" Breed Specific Artist will ALWAYS spend many times more on their breeding stock than pup sales would ever repay. Their time is absolute dedication. Almost every breeding I know have divorced because of the 24/7 365 dedication required. No holidays, no days off, every spare dollar and minutes spent proving their pedigree through AKC competitive Confirmation, Obedience, Temperament, and Workability for the qualities they are uniquely creating and preserving in their pedigree. In most cases a very skilled breeder with the comprehension of Genetics will even have frozen semen at great expense for surgical implants to bring back and preserve decades of unique breed qualities so that they are not lost to time. All of which is extraordinarily expensive endeavors. Breeders have to pay retail for everything and rarely recover these expenses. A true breeder will never compromise or settle for a breeding that is not to their standard, which would possibly set them back gene wise. A true Breeder is truly a very wise Artist creating a masterpiece for generations to come. Most extraordinary breeders will continue to do so until their passing rather than retire and disappoint the families wanting to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Appleridge is and has always been dedicated to Human Assistant, Intelligence and Health plus Versatility. Very much like the Founders.

The following is dogs we have owned or bred which have accomplished something, we are very proud of each and every dog and their wonderful owners for all they do! We here at Appleridge are also including OVC OFA certification as an accomplishment because in our eyes no accomplishment is greater then clear health!
A dedicated Breeder is a very special and gives their life to their breed. At Appleridge German Shepherds, we have been providing top-quality World renowned West German Shepherds for over 40 years. These pedigrees go back to the original Wildsteiger Land & Arminius kennels of the breed wardens for decades " The Martin" brothers. entrusted by the Founder of the breed Cor Mal von Stephanitz in Germany. Our team of experienced professionals are passionate about dogs and dedicated to providing the best possible care to creating and training your furry family member. There are NO greater a commitment when considering the Life of a Breed Specific Breeder. Their selflessness has preserved breeds for hundreds and in some cases thousands of years so that others can share in the love and qualities of a specific breed. Unlike Brokers that make money on the fad or top dog that year, buying and selling pregnant females, trading dogs like they have no personal attachments or feelings. A breeder is proud to show the lineage and generations of their heart felt labors. Those up all night deliveries, so each little souls gets a chance to be born safely. The 24/7 365 no matter what day or night health and physical needs of their companions. There is NO greater commitment for ones' life than to dedicate to their dogs with great care and love. That is why so many are divorced, its not a commitment most are willing to make. Breeders will spend anything, everything on their dogs, always putting the dogs needs before their own. They commit a Lifetime to create the vision of the perfect dog they envisioned when they started. Statistically uncommitted breeders fall away before 5 years. Sometimes because they run out of money, economical strains, government oversight squeezing their righteous profession from this earth for political reasons.
Unlike a Broker that is making money off of others work, the breeder Commits to their vision to preserve those valued specific qualities that "they" are carefully, lovingly, and time consumingly implementing for the breed standard purpose or perfecting a skill set or look through genetics. This tasks is monumental and daunting. It is not for the light hearted or financially challenged. It is never about making money, as I assure you after 4 decades this dedication has cost me dearly. Artists are best known after they pass, sadly. So many "Greats" have come and gone in my lifetime. I miss them and their advise dearly. Breeding stock ( dogs) are invaluable for the "tomorrow" of breeds. No Holidays, no days off, no sleeping in, no early nights, every spare minute and dollar goes to the betterment and proving their pedigrees worth to humanity. AKC, CKC, UKC and more are very costly and time consuming event venues that are providing the public a way to evaluate the breeders commitment to their vision of perfection. A breeder pays retail for everything and nothing about pets is affordable anymore. Choose your breeder wisely and you will enjoy a companion that will fill your life with joy that money cannot buy.
Love of a dog is genuine and pure. A dog doesn't pretend. Their eyes, wagging tails and bodies tell you everything about LOVE and LOYALITY. Always try your best to bring the vision of the breeders commitment to your dog. They ask only of your time, commitment, consistency. A great Pack Leader will share life moments with these very special "creator" given souls. Be that special someone to your dog. You chose them ! Keep your promises to them for a abundant life full of LOVE.

We are proud of each and every dog that leaves us here at Appleridge, and we encourage everyone even if the dog leaves as just a "pet" to try your hardest with your dog and see what kind of goals you can achieve.
In the world of purebred dogs, many doors are open and waiting for everyone to try. Whether it be something simple like a CGC or CGN to some of the more advanced things in life such as CD,CDX,UD or Ch. (title descriptions below)
Many dogs are purchased for showing or breeding etc, however just because you buy your puppy as a pet doesn't mean the fun stops there. Many titles can be achieved by fixed dogs, some are left open only to those ideally used for breeding.
The dogs shown below are mostly family pets, which chose to see what they could truly accomplish with the amazing breed they were so blessed to own. However famous or smart, trained or just an amazing companion, who knows what could come next for Appleridge!! We hope you enjoy the dogs shown as a tribute to the amazing breed, everyone knows as German Shepherds.
It took us many years to breed and own all these wonderful dogs and we hope to be around for many years to come!(click on the typed name to see the picture)
