Welcome to Lane's House Of Old Fashion Large German Shepherd Dogs. I do not breed for the Conformation show ring or the German Schutzhund ring. I breed Old Fashion Large German Shepherds for family companions.Our dogs are big. Dogs exceeding 30" at the withers, and well over 100 pounds in weight. They are "straight backed", in reference to the excessive slope of some American show dogs and the roaching of some German show dogs.They are called Old Fashioned Large German Shepherds.
So, you want a great pet for your child, You have been watching Animal Planet and have seen the great pets of all kind so what's best. How about a pet that can help protect your children, give them exercise, keep them entertained..... What animal can do all that and more? An Old Fashion Large German Shepherd Dog!
If you want to see true happiness just look at the face of an 8-year-old when they hold their new German Shepherd puppy in their arms for the first time. The sex of the dog does not matter. Dogs can help teach a child responsibility, patience, empathy, and compassion, but remember, no young child is capable of properly training or completely caring for a dog, so the parent must always ultimately take full responsibility for the pet.
I am a small Kennel and Old Fashion Large German Shepherd dog breeder of sound OFA Certified Old Fashion Large German Shepherds located in Southern California. As one of just a few Old Fashion Large GSD breeders my main goal for my breeding program is to breed Old Fashion Large German Shepherds Dogs & puppies that are Intelligent, Noble, Dignified, Sensitive, Loyal. Sound in mind and body.
All German Shepherd Dogs are working dogs if you ask them to do a job and show them what you want them to do they will do it, and do it well.
Excellent temperament, Our breeding goal are Intelligent, Noble, Dignified, Sensitive, Loyal, Sound in mind and body Large German Shepherds that make Excellent companions and are Naturally protective and great family pets.
All my dogs are family pets. I like calm but energetic dogs with no hind end slope, straight top lines (backs), tight round feet, with large heads, heavy bones, and tall frames very good in obedience.
Yes my dogs are often large, but size should never be a factor over soundness. OFA certified hips are of great importance. The new style German Shepherd is dying much sooner then Shepherds from just 20 years ago. I am committed to keeping lines that average 12 to 14 years of longevity. The diet we feed our dogs consists of a good quailty dog food.

For longevity and good health I also feed raw meat at least one day a week. I recommend that you read Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide To Natural Health For Dogs and Cats by Dr. Pitcairn. Because of the variety and quality of dog food available we require that all Lane's House Of Shepherds dogs be kept on NuVet Plus Canine.

I am committed to staying a very small dog breeder. Breeding Old Fashion Large Shepherds is a passion and commitment not a business for profit. I have Old Fashion Large German Shepherd puppies for sale from one litter or two litters a year. I share ideas and breedings goals with other breeders of Old Fashioned Large German Shepherds.
A well-bred German Shepherd is a remarkable dog, but a German Shepherd dog from a disreputable breeder, accidental breeding, or someone trying to recoup their initial investment, can be a nightmare. Without careful consideration of genetic issues, temperament, and physical characteristics, the resulting litter can be plagued with serious health and temperament problems. I do research on the family history of my German Shepherd dogs before they enter my breeding program. I also try and educate my buyers so that they are aware of the needs of the breed, as well as their own Old Fashioned Large German Shepherd.
