Meet the breeder
I'm Christopher & Lori M., the breeder behind Christopher & Lori Mollo located in Spicewood, TX. We are passionate German Shepherd owners (Chris and Lori) dedicated to the health, temperament, and well-being of our dogs and puppies. I got hooked on this breed, when I found "Budweiser" a Male GS , likely dumped in a California Canyon. Full of foxtails and in bad shape. Brought him to the Burbank GS rescue and I could not walk away. Volunteered there for years. The GS taught me a lot and gave me more than I could give them. Our puppies are raised in a nurturing / healthy home environment, socialized with family and children. Intelligent and trainable, protective, loyal, great active family dogs.
Q. & A. with Christopher & Lori
Why did you start breeding?
Once I found the right West German Show and Working Lines and liked the traits of each dog, I had 2-3 litters to keep a puppy, keeping the bloodlines in place for our family GS! If they turned out for confirmation or SCH work, I trained and showed them too, for an objective view and critique. And to keep them active and socialized. We do not have multiple litters in year. And are very selective.What makes your program special?
We are not in breeding for the $$. But for our love of the breed and striving to the old breed standard. Not what sells or the latest trend. Not interested in current trends. Examples Like : exaggerated size (overall anatomy & parts like extremely large male heads, etc. Over angulation front the rear with poor toplines, etc.) Desire clear, solid temperament, structure, longevity, & working ability.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Verified owner · Feb. 2025
Chris and Lori were not only very knowledgeable about the breed but extremely kind and communicative during the whole process. They made us feel like family and truly gave our puppy the best start. They made the process feel like adopting a family member and not a business transaction.
