I'm Julio H., the breeder behind Kriegshund-Zug German Shepherds located in Lillington, NC. True ambassador of the German Shepherd Dog, I breed, train and title my dogs. I hand select dogs for pets, sport or police work.
Q. & A. with Julio
Why did you start breeding?
I was 17 years old when I took an interest in genetics, I was then hooked and started to work and breed my dogs. I then served for just under 10 years in the US Army, breeding took a back seat during that time in my life. I then started once again and have competed and trained my own stock.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because of my experience. Not too many breeders can say they breed, train and compete with their own dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
Matched dogs
These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.
