I have wanted a German Shepherd for as long as I can remember, but I didn’t know I wanted a Von der Stadtrand dog until the day I met my Dad’s dog. She is beautiful, intelligent and very gentle with my daughter, everything I wanted in a German Shepherd. Right away I knew, I needed to get to a hold of Clayton. In anticipation of being able to get my own Von der Stadtrand dog, I began attending their club training every weekend, being able to participate in this was invaluable. Seeing how Clayton conducted the sessions and meeting other owners with their Von der Stadtrand dog’s confirmed what I had felt from the beginning, there is something truly special about Clayton’s family and these dogs. In February of 2015 we got our puppy! He is truly a wonderful dog, handsome and smart with an amazing temperament.
