I'm Calvin K., the breeder behind Fürstenpalast German Shepherds located in Darlington, SC. We love this breed and the experience of having litters! Our mission is to raise pups that are set to become the best companions. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!
