I have to agree with the poster above. I got my DS from Aachen and he has been a fantastic dog for my family. I would highly recommend Aachen if you are looking for a dog to be around your family. I know there are many lines of highly specialized working dogs but there are other lines who seem better suited to family life.

Glad it worked out for you.

Agree, as with all breeds, some DS are great family pets, some are not. A good breeder will help find the right pup for family. Not all DS pups are meant for KNPV and not all DS pups are meant for families. And it is important to know what to expect and how to handle working dog (good trainer is a must).

The only ones anyone sells stateside in any number are KNPV lines. The FCI line dogs are very rare.
