I'm Basia B., the breeder behind Vom Barteks Haus located in New Jersey. We are a passionate and dedicated breeding program that produces dogs with great working drives, conformation, and temperaments. German Shepherds are an incredible breed, and we decided to start our breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities we found in our dogs. They excel both in their work and as companions. We are dedicated to improving our lines with each generation so that the breed will continue to thrive for a long time to come.
