Von der Otto German Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Tia O., the breeder behind Von der Otto German Shepherds located in Rockwall, TX. I strive to produce quality puppies for families that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program.
