About Us
Quality working line German Shepherd Dogs (GSD)
As a German Shepherd dog breeder, we often get asked why we choose to breed these magnificent dogs. For us, it's not just about producing puppies, it's about continuing the legacy of one of the most loyal and dependable breeds out there.
​
German Shepherds have been serving humanity for over a century, and they've proven themselves as protectors, companions, and even lifesavers time and time again. They're smart, adaptable, and fiercely loyal to their families. When you have a German shepherd in your life, you never feel alone.
​
But beyond their impressive abilities, German shepherds are also incredibly affectionate and loving. They're gentle with children, patient with the elderly, and fiercely devoted to their owners. They're the kind of dogs that will always put you first, no matter what.
That's why here at Von Lambor we choose to breed German shepherds - because we believe in their innate goodness and their ability to make the world a better place. Every puppy we produce has the potential to become someone's loyal companion, someone's protector, someone's best friend. And that's a legacy worth continuing.
So if you're considering adding a Von Lambor German shepherd to your family, know that you're not just getting a dog - you're getting a lifetime of love, loyalty, and companionship. And that's something truly special.
Our Story
It all began when a thief stole a 90' crane truck from our metal fabrication company in Tacoma, WA driving it through our gate and taking out power in the entire black. We were fed up with the constant break-ins to our shop yard. The employees frequently felt unsafe and we needed a solution.
In addition to reinforcing our fences with metal panels we decided protection dogs were a good option to add as an extra layer of security. After lots of research we drove out to Kraftwerk K-9 in Rochester, WA to look at several trained adult German Shepherd Dogs imported from Germany. When we met Lambor and Ona it was love at first site. They soon became so much more than just guardians of our home and business but are forever part of our family.
​
Transitioning dogs trained in IGP (a challenging three part sport consisting of tracking, obedience and protection) and raised in kennels into our home came with challenges in the beginning. We set out to perfect our German dog commands and learn as much about the German Shepherd breed as fast as possible. We realized we had a lot to learn about handling these who had been trained to do a specific job. They could open doors and gates, needed A LOT of exercise and mental stimulation, and they disliked our smaller animals in the beginning. From this experience we aimed to breed Family raised German Shepherd dogs who had the same quality as those from German breeding programs.
Each litter of Von Lambor German Shepherd puppies are raised in our home. Our puppies are bred from imported parents who are sound in body and mind, who have earned working titles, and have only the best temperament as well as genetics to pass on to their offspring. They are socialized with children, elderly, cats, dogs, rabbits, unfamiliar people & places, and strange sounds early on. This sets the foundation for the basic obedience training which we begin between 6-8 weeks of age.
