We are a family-owned and operated breeding kennel located in Orange, Connecticut specializing in AKC registered Czech Working Line German Shepherds. Our dogs have pedigrees from World Class lines and have been selected for temperament, health, and strength.
Czech German Shepherds are working line German Shepherds first bred in Czechoslovakia in 1955 under the Czech military’s breeding program. While traditional German Shepherds were bred for herding sheep and then adapted to police work, Czech German Shepherds were bred to have higher stamina, stronger work ethic, and higher working intelligence better suiting them for police work. They have the capacity to be trained to carry tactical gear, search and rescue, hunt, and sniff and sort substances. Their natural protective instincts make them well suited as guard dogs. But their protectiveness, ability to be loyal to more than one individual, and gentle temperament make them great and loving family dogs, too.

We’ve had a great experience with Schatten Shepherds, we purchased a beautiful black shepherd. Her temperament is exceptional, she gets along with all other dogs and loves people too. Our vet state that she was a healthy and good dog.

We purchased our 14 week old male on July 17th 2023. We named him Captain. He has a great temperament and adjusted very quickly to our family. He’s been easy to train and is eager to please. Wess answered all our questions and made sure the pup was a good fit for our family. The kennel was clean and the parents were on the premises.
