Welcome to my passion, the German Shepherd Dog.
My love for the German Shepherd Dog started when I was 5 years old, fascinated by the "Police Dogs" and their ability to be obedient and carry out anything that was asked of them. Their beauty, strength, loyalty and trainability is what captured my attention and so began my love and desire for the German Shepherd Dog. I got my first West German Showline from a breeder in NH (at the time, www.vomhaushutfeld.com ) when i was 16 years old. Since then, I have developed a deep love and appreciation for both the West German Showlines and the West German Working Lines.
My long term goal is to compete at a National, and eventually World level, IPO3 Championship. With the exception of titled German imports, my breeding stock is trained, titled, and shown by me. This allows me to get a true feel for the heart, body, and mind of the dog and also helps me to understand what to expect from their progeny.
The German Shepherd Dog will always be a part of my life, and through selective breeding, I intend for them to be a part of your's too.
At Kennel de Rossi my mission is to preserve and continue improving the German Shepherd Dog in health, temperament, character and versatility through selective breeding.
Kennel de Rossi is located in the small town of Pilot Mountain, NC(USA).
I am a small hobby breeder and sport competitor, because of this I hold my dogs to a high standard both in form, and function. I breed, raise, and train through the SV Standard in Germany. Each one of my dogs is proven breed worthy through the German Shepherd Dog sport of Schuzthund/IPO/IGP (protection dog). I require my dogs to have a minimum of an IGP1 working title, or be actively training in all 3 phases. I require OFA/SV passing Hip and Elbow certifications, as well as being healthy dogs in general (no allergies, known cancers in the lines etc).
I offer high quality puppies to become a part of your family. I stand behind my puppies, and offer lifetime breeder support. My puppies leave me with their 1st set of shots, microchipped, health certificate, AKC Registration papers, proof of de-worming, and contract. For additional support in regards to training, nutrition questions, upcoming trials and shows and anything you need to keep you and your puppy happy, just ask! I will always be here to help in any way I can, I want nothing more than to see my puppies succeed in their new homes!
