Von Shartzer is a small family hobby breeder of working line German Shepherd Dogs located in central Indiana. Von Shartzer evolved through our love of German Shepherds. I grew up with working line German Shepherds at my home since I was born. I spent many hours growing up helping my mother train puppies and adults for Search & Rescue and Schutzhund.
Since that time our involvement in the breed has grown to a hobby.
My goal is to raise puppies that have the drive, bone and pigment of their past. As I look around I'm not seeing the bone, pigment, and drive all together that was once here. There are a lot of good dogs out there, no doubt, but I don't see the bone and pigment I used to see when I was younger.
I am using as my foundation dogs from the Enckhausen lines, going back on Stormfront's Brawnson SWAT K9, Dual Purpose Patrol/Narcotics K9, 2000 National Police Dog Champion, SCH3, DPO2, WPO, FH2, and V Tara vom Wildenbruch SCH3 (24X's), IPO3 (18X's), FH (16X's) and that of V Reno Jipo-Me ZVV3, IPO1, ZPO1.
Our dogs are members of our family, and our puppies are hand raised in our home.
