About Us
Our Story
Our love for German Shepherds began at eight years old, when our first canine companions captured our hearts. Though they were not show dogs, they sparked a lifelong passion for the breed—and ultimately inspired our journey into training, showing, and preserving the excellence of the German Shepherd Dog.
Rocky Oak Ranch
Nestled in the heart of Northern California, Rocky Oak Ranch sits on a beautiful 20-acre olive grove. It is here that our passion for the breed has grown into a program rooted in dedication, integrity, and a deep respect for the German Shepherd Dog.
Through years of commitment, we’ve been honored with achievements recognized by the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, and AKC including:
• Best in Show
• Best in Specialty Show
• Grand Victor/Victrix
• Futurity Victor/Victrix
We’ve also had the privilege of owning and handling some of the top German Shepherds in both the United States and Canada.
Our Breeding Philosophy
At Rocky Oak Ranch, we believe in thoughtful, selective breeding grounded in health, temperament, structure, and overall excellence. Our goal is to produce dogs with:
• Sound minds
• Solid health
• Correct structure
• The true working temperament and nobility the breed is known for
Whether destined for the show ring, performance venues, or loving companion homes, our puppies are raised to thrive and enrich the lives of their families.
