Q. & A. with Susanne
Why did you start breeding?
I originally started my breeding program to cater to dog sport trainers, however, our program has grown from this to specialize in breeding exceptional companion dogs. The goal of our program is to breed adaptable modern companion dogs - not a specialist in sport or show.What makes your program special?
Austerlitz German Shepherds is a program that has been evolving and refining since 1993. We are committed to breeding physically healthy and long-lived dogs with correct structure and predictable, adaptive temperaments. What truly sets us apart is our extensive puppy raising protocols and early training to facilitate a smooth life with new families.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include stock and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black, black and tan, black and red, and bi-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Bubble, dad
German Shepherd
About Bubble
Bubbles is an upper medium sized male, around 85Lbs, with very strong bone, rich pigment and a full black blanket. He has a strong, level, top line, moderate angles in the front and rear, and a long underline. His athletic and moderate structure are correct to our type and the breed’s heritage. Bubbles is a happy, sweet, and kind hearted dog who is great with all his dog friends, even the little dogs, puppies, the pushy dogs, and the rude dogs. He is a favorite with the girl dogs due to his playful and mannerly personality. Bubbles is great in the house, travels well, and is an enjoyable and reliable dog to take anywhere. He’s good for veterinary care, nail trims, and has very low body sensitivity. He’s one of those dogs who naturally does most everything right, has good judgement, and is dependable in all ways.
