About Matilda
Matilda! I have an all-black GSD from High Country German Shepherds. Matilda is an incredible animal. She is currently just under 2 years old and ALL puppy still, as most young GSD's are. At six months old, she passed basic obedience training courses. She was so hyper at the time that I was of the opinion she was going to be untrainable. Boy, was I wrong! She was almost fully leash trained in 20 minutes. Once we figured out how to focus her energy into positive training, she quickly became the most trainable dog I've ever had. House training was a cinch, and she's a friendly and social animal. She's excellent with 2 other dogs in the house, three cats, and and a protector of my young children. Physically, she's a fine specimen. She's fast, alert, and agile. She can clear a regular fence with ease and hike and run all day long, always being alert to her surroundings and ready for a command. To be completely honest, she's the smartest dog I've ever had. Mike D

Linda and John were incredibly responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. From the start, they demonstrated genuine care for their dogs and their future homes. They answered all my questions thoroughly and provided guidance throughout the adoption process. The puppy I brought home, Gigi, is not only beautiful but also intelligent, loving, and well-adjusted—a true testament to Linda’s and John’s dedication as a breeder. It’s clear that they prioritizes responsible breeding and ensures her puppies are well-cared-for before going to their new families. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and highly recommend High Country German Shepherds to anyone looking for a well-bred and healthy German Shepherd

Linda was so easy to work with. Responsive and transparent about her practices and the GSD breed. She cares about this breed. Elke is a stellar example of her quality lines and is so striking she gets compliments everywhere we go. She’s 5.5 months and just a great pup. She’s our 1st GSD and we’re already thinking about another puppy from Linda when our Elke is older. Elke is smart, trainable, loves her family, best friend to our 8 yr old autistic son. Protective, but discerning, not reactive or aggressive. High drive, but with training, gets along fine with our 3 cats. High energy, needs mental and physical exercise, but we wanted a dog to do things with and she’s an ideal companion for our family. Excitable still as a puppy, but settles into situations well. Alert to her surroundings, but not nervous. We adore her. We met Elke’s dam and sire on site. Linda breeds healthy dog’s dogs. They are not prissy and ready to go any direction you take them. We will not use any other breeder. Thanks, Linda!

We love our puppy from Linda and John. The way they care about their dogs shows that they love him too! I called Linda many times with questions and she enthusiastically answered every one. They are knowledgeable about the breed and happy to share their experience. The puppy we received was more than I had dreamed he would be! If we are ever looking to get another, it will be from them.
