Meet the breeder
I'm Israel G., the breeder behind Von Guzman Family Shepherds located in Interlachen, FL.

We find so much joy in watching our puppies grow and develop their own unique personalities. We can’t wait for you to meet your next loving and loyal companion!
Q. & A. with Israel
Why did you start breeding?
We were blessed to have found Ruby 2 years ago. She was just the perfect little girl. She has such a loving but yet independent disposition. Ty we have had since 16 weeks and is a character all of his own. He is a typical funny and silly GSD who truly thinks he is a 5 pound lap dog. The mix of these 2 quality parents have produced an amazing and varied litter.What makes your program special?
We breed for temperament. We look to match calm submissive and lower energy pups, perfect for a home lifestyle. We do not breed for security or protection. We believe that is a breed trait that can be enhanced with further training.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have plush coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
