Hans Haus German Shepherds

About us

  Since I was a very young man, I have owned purebred German Shepherds. Starting with a retired US Army dog, Hans, my interest was sparked and I knew as so many others learn, or already know, that this was the only breed of dog for us.  In fact, Hans helped me meet my wife.  Since that time many life changes have occurred, including a family. But our love for this exceptionally intelligent, noble looking breed has never changed. They are as much family members to us as human relatives.
  We live in Illinois on the Illinois/Iowa border.  Since we live in a rural farming community our property size afforded us the ability to build a dog kennel, with plenty of room for the dogs to get outside exercise. We know from over 30 years of breeding strictly from the German line, that we are raising very affordable and predictable German Shepherd dogs that will be just the companion you have been looking for.
  We are amazed today at how some breeders place a value on what they try to sell you. You will see the terms Direct Imports, V and VA show ratings, and over emphasis on show winnings to justify the outrageous selling prices they ask.
    Our dogs are part of our everyday life. Even though we have an outside kennel each adult comes in our home several times each year and all females have their puppies inside our home. We do all the work ourselves. Our dogs health and overall welfare comes first to us above anything else. 
   We do not have a show ribbon chasing mentality here. These expenses are directly passed on to you the buyer which to us is unnecessary.  While our dogs are direct German imports or out of imported German stock and are show quality and completely qualified to enter the show arena or be put to work as a K-9, etc should you desire to do so, our main goal is to provide you with the most devoted, intelligent, and loving companion for you and your family.  
    Our phone is always available for talking about this breed of dog. No one is an "expert" but with over 30 years experience in raising only one breed of dog we are very knowledgeable at helping you even if you don't own a dog or plan to buy a dog from us. We raise the best breed of dog there is and we put emphasis on predictable genetics from proven bloodlines. Feel free to contact us with any questions or inquiries you may have.
