von der Zeder

Von der Zeder breeds Old German Shepherd Dogs in Mainz. The aim is healthy, socially compatible, steady-nerved and friendly dogs that are suitable for dog sports as well as for family life and are easy to handle in everyday life. The breeding is affiliated with the Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde (SV) e.V. The bond with Shepherd Dogs goes back to childhood. For around 24 years, training, work and breeding have shaped the handling of the breed. Litters are only rarely and selectively planned; in 2023 the eighth litter was raised. Prerequisites are the female dog's suitability in terms of health and character as well as all breeding-relevant tests. The puppies grow up from the very beginning in a varied environment at a riding stable. There they get to know public traffic, other animal species, everyday noises and different environmental influences. This early imprinting prepares them for a wide variety of situations later in life.
