Buck and Skia's litter
Parent dogs
Zao, mom
German Shepherd
About Zao
Zao is my husbands right arm. She is trained as a service dog and always looking for ways to help. Zao loves our grand children, kitties, other dogs and even our horses. She loves to smile and she is so gentle you sometimes forget that she is huge. She still loves being a lap dog but only when my husband says it is okay. Were ever we go folks are amazed at how beautiful and well behaved she is. She is the kind of dog that many always dream of living with and her puppies in the past have always been adored! Buck is very similar in temperament and his pedigree goes back to some of my original dogs from the 1970s. That nature is what made our puppies treasured and so we have keep that linage for decades and generations. Now we are looking forward to sharing this family with a few select families. Please contact me for more information.
