Let me start off by telling
you that we are not one of those
outfits that has just gotten into the dog world. Vom Katzenblut Shepherds has
been breeding, showing and working with German Shepherds for over forty years
now. We started in Miami, Florida in
1958.
Becoming acquainted with our experiences will give you a better idea of who we
are; this information can be found under the Introduction section. There are a
lot of people there who talk good but don't do anything other than sell whatever
their dogs produce, and they really don't know what was produced. While you
don't know us personally yet, hopefully, by the time you finish reading this,
you will have an idea of how we think, our selection and evaluation procedures,
kennel operations, and the questions to ask yourself before purchasing the
newest member of your family.
We are a full time German
Shepherd kennel specializing in the higher quality specimens of both the
American conformation and the European Schutzhund with conformation which
possesses the combination of hardness for true police work and high prey / play
drive to excel in detection work. Custom importing is available. Our American
bred dogs contain the work characteristics with protective instincts. We provide
in-board creative training techniques and behavior modification in our concrete
kennel building, which has central heat and air, plus septic tanks and exterior
open air concrete runs. Our full time staff is here to answer any questions or
concerns you may have regarding our dogs or training.
In our quest to match the right dog with the right people, listed below are the
items we instruct people to think about before purchasing a German Shepherd. We
want to accomplish an in-depth match between family and dog.
Questions to ask yourself:
American bred or import lines; sex preference; body style preference (top line
angulated or straight--if angulated, then how steep); head shape (boxy or
triangle); color preferences; any particular special attributes for any special
future training (personal protection, schutzhund, SAR, conformation, narcotics,
patrol, etc.); the ages of any children in the family, other dogs in the family
(i.e., what sex and age is the alpha dog), time frame for receiving a dog (are
you really set up now to get one: fenced yard, time to play and train the dog on
a daily basis), what level of energy is appropriate for your family, etc.
If someone says they are wanting a titled dog, then we ask the following:
Any particular colors? Age range? Any particular lines? Titled through DVG or
USA, or does it matter? Titled in America acceptable or must be in Europe? What
type of personality? Are you wanting a higher defense dog or a sport dog? What
is your family composition (children, other dogs, etc.)? Will dog live inside
and must be house broken? Must it be a German SCH title, or can it be a title
from one of the other countries (Hungarian IPO 1 or ZVV from Chez Republic or
SVV from Slovakia)? Do you realize the other countries have the equivalent of
the SCH? Must the dog be kore rated and if so, what is acceptable? Will you
purchase if the dog is in Europe and not in the States yet?
Before a conscientious person can send you what you are really wanting, they
need to know the above. Otherwise, they are just wanting to unload what they
have and don't care if it meets your needs or not. We have a good reputation for
providing what is wanted, so if we do not have it available, we will import the
dog for you. Once we know your answers and desires, then we can carefully select
the dog that should match your family composition and security needs.
We have European imported adults, titled adults and imported puppies, plus some
that were born in the states from imported parents. The blood lines of these
dogs are internationally famous: direct Kirschental parents, plus Ulk von Arlett,
Visium vom Arminium, Jeck von Noricum, Uran, Fedor, Quando, and a host of others
that go on and on. These dogs have outstanding temperaments and excellent
protection drives, yet social, a very important factor to us. Once I know exact
specifics on what you are wanting then I can concentrate on the particular dog(s)
I feel match your desires.
I realize that there are
very few people who want to actually get involved in the show ring aspect of the
conformation dog or the trialing of schutzhund work, but most people do not
realize or understand that what the judge in the show ring is looking for is
exactly what they, as the future owners of a dog, want to find in a dog. Also;
by choosing a pup from a litter that has the better graded qualities, you are
less likely to have problems in the future. A well balanced dog should have less
structural or medical problems as the years go by and have a greater longevity.
Keeping these factors in mind is why we are wanting that good structure in any
dog, even if it is not going to be placed in a show or working home. I hope you
can understand why conscientious breeders want to have the public become a more
knowledgeable consumer, as they can then appreciate the progeny the breeders are
creating and they, the buyers, will be receiving. If you want something that is
going to last then it must be made that way to begin with or you will be hounded
with constant medical problems. Repairing or fixing can get awfully expensive.
In short, we strive for dogs that are sound in mind and body, and that is why
our kennel slogan is:
QUALITY, NOT COMPROMISE
We train all hours of the day and night. If you do not get a live person when
calling, please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as possible.
After May first 2002, the area code for our area has changing to 239. From
9am-5pm there are people always in the office.

Breeder's Experiences:
The old saying is "The proof is in the
pudding." Since the inception of Vom Katzenblut Shepherds in 1958, I have
worked with the German Shepherd breed for over forty years during which time I
have taught obedience, AKC conformation showing, schutzhund, cadaver, search and
rescue, police dog patrol work, and other various detection work. View the
CERTIFICATES OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS for our
dogs. Our goal is to breed smart dogs with intelligence to think on their own
without having to be told each move. View various
NEWSPAPER ARTICLES about our dogs and
various
CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION from various
governments.
I have graded numerous dogs for years and feel that a dog should be more than
just an animal to lay around the house. We especially need to know what to be
looking for if the dog is going to be a patrol dog and be cross trained. One
must be able to spot both the attributes and deficiencies in a dog in order to
be able to assist that particular dog in progressing forward. The German
Shepherds that I have worked in schutzhund, can live in a family atmosphere and
yet do sheep herding. I have several dogs on police departments throughout the
USA. I have been President of the local DVG Schutzhund club: SW Florida
Schutzhund Club, Inc. Yes, I know there is a big difference between training for
schutzhund and for the real world of patrol work
My husband (Chad) and I earnestly feel that education is an ongoing process for
both the dog and the person. Not only should a truly good breeder know how to
whelp the puppies but also learn about nutrition, medical and disaster skills.
Having been a member of a search and rescue unit, there is much more training
for the handler then most would imagine. Take a moment to review some of the
certificates we have.
