GSD Domicile

We have over 20 years of experience with German Shepherds. We provide family oriented pets along wit Welcome to GSD Domicile! At age 17 I got my first GSD (Jake).
(7)

Our goal is to assist families in search of quality GSD puppies. Breeding and raising well socialized quality German Shepherds takes time, effort, patience, research, dedication, a great team and WORK! Our team consists of me (Michael), my wife (Jessica) and our 5 kids. Many people overlook kids in this equation, yet they play one of the most important roles in preparing our puppies for their new

homes. We work very hard throughout the breeding, birth, pre-placement and post-placement process to ensure your experience is something we can be proud of. My story and love of the breed began at an early age as my Dad owned a mix of the breed. We were attached at the hip and he was my best friend. As human like as German Shepherds are, of course my best friend was not going to live as long as me. Jake passed at age 12 and though it was hard on me I knew he would not be my last GSD. Once I was ready for my next friend and upon months of looking and constantly researching I grew frustrated as I had been on rescue lists as well as out searching for good breeders. A few dogs came up through rescue that were mixed, had previous issues, unknown backgrounds, older than I wanted, had existing health issues or other things that turned me a way. Though I have adopted and rescued many animals in the past and currently still do, my research and concern as a Father has taught me that some breeds should be selected from a good breeder. I ran into an issue here because when I was looking most breeders were using "AKC" and "Champion Lines" as selling points rather than giving me individual information on the puppies they were selling. I was looking for my new family member and was being treated like I was buying a car. Looking for a well-balanced and good temperament pet GSD at a reasonable price and only seeing $1500 - $3000 pups outside of pet stores, suspicious breeders and “puppy mills” was a major issue. Places that I did visit or ads I responded to with my desired price range did not meet my expectations. Mom and Dad dog were not available to see, the pups were obviously always outside and thrown cheap food a couple times a day, the pups were talked about as a group even when directing questions about an individual pup, Mom was living outside with the pups and most likely always, conditions were not clean (to my standards) and a variety of other issues. After several months we finally put out more than we wanted to, but found a pup that we were pleased with and named him Mason! It was not always our intention to breed as we stayed quite busy with keeping home and running the kids around. My wife knew the hours and dedication I would put in and I knew the attachment she would have to the pups (I may have been a little teary eyed myself during placement....) if we ever did decide to move forward with breeding. A couple years went by with several compliments on our Mason during pet expos, vet visits, during walks, at work and other instances. I am a County worker and have been lucky enough to bring Mason to work over the years where he and I would interact with fellow county employees that were police officers. I have never been a one dog (or kid) person and luckily my sweet wife surprised me by saying she was ready to get our second GSD together. We both decided we wanted an all black female and began the process again, seeing the same issues as before. This changed our search efforts as we had began to consider breeding and wanted to select a pup that supported Mason's stregnths and weaknesses. We found Molly, a beautiful solid black high drive pup! I wanted to update and extend my knowledge of the breed even more. I talked to several people from owners to trainers and of course spent hours online. As Molly grew into a well-tempered beautiful young GSD we began to weigh her and Mason strengths and weaknesses very closely. Several friends, co-workers, fellow enthusiast and people we would talk to or run into began asking about breeding the two. We would hear the very same stories of disappointment that we had experienced in the past from those looking for a pup. My wife and I sat down and went over everything and decided we definitely wanted to move forward and build something that would resolve the issues of good owners wanting great pets at a reasonable price. As you will learn by interacting with this page and members, we take our breeding very serious. We not only want to make each potential owners experience great, but protect our pups and the breed as well. We are not here to sell you a pup and then move on with life. We are here for the life of your pup and even after. From prepared meals for the pups to owner cookouts, we do everything possible to have you feel like part of our GSD family rather than a client. Anyone can breed two dogs, but only a dedicated team can give you a life changing experience.

Hey Folks!!! Hope all is well and everyone is healthy!

Hey all you hot dogs and puppies! Happy Easter.

Alright folks, know it's been inconsistent and few and far between, my apologies. Life has been busy.

Today we are reaching out hoping to find a loving home for Ms. Luna! A beautiful 3 year old Husky mix that loves to play come find me if you leave the door open. She is not microchipped and we would recommend a fenced yard and/or Fi collar or something similar while training. Her owner is off serving our country and as sad as she is to part with her she wants what's best for Ms. Luna.

Luna is housebroken and she won't break your house. A very gentle and loving pup that will sit, lay down and give you five on a kid like basis (when she is in the mood). She has had regular check ups through Banfield with no known health issues.

She is crated trained, but if you are one of those folks who don't consider pets family and crate her with guests over that don't like dogs (weird people), she may test the latch strength of that crate! Her owner says she can be trusted for extended periods at home with no issues. She has not been known to chew anything other than toys.

Luna is not much of a talker, but will howl if you play with her. Keep in mind with all dogs environment and people are factors that could produce change. This little lady has some energy and needs regular exercise. Someone local that loves to enjoy these great trails and areas in Frederick County would be ideal, but we understand that even dogs in areas not as prized as ours do well😉.

When it's time for a visit to the ladies room, Ms. Luna will scamper to the door and sit. You may or may not have time to finish your show, but her owner could usually wait til the fight scene of one of her reality shows was over. If you are a diy gal or guy, once outside, just don't pay attention to Ms. Luna and she may start some nice post holes or pond for you!

Willing to share your favorite snack? What if Ms. Luna sits beside you with those big soft eyes? Still no? How about a soft head in your lap with the biggest sigh of neglect you have ever heard? Still no??? Alright, "Out Luna!" By the way, since you didn't share your food she will not have the energy or care to be very protective of your home and shows little to no aggression in even confrontational situations.

Ms. Luna had a big bad kitty "attack" her as a pup, so don't turn on Garfield reruns. In the time we spent with her she basically ignored our cats and just kept her distance. As far as real pets (dogs) she is very friendly and loves to play. Everyone is Luna's friend wether they want to be or not. Don't worry about bibs or cleaning your little ones faces, she's got you covered.

The information above was mostly obtained from our surrender form. We have spent time with Luna and can say she is an absolute sweetheart. If you have the time, love and commitment for Ms. Luna, please message us for an adoption application. Let's give this girl a good home folks!🐕🐾🐶!
