TESTIMONIALS

  • "Beautiful German Shepherds with the history and backing you can rely on. Traci not only runs a solid breeding, boarding and training business I'm proud to support, her knowledge on every aspect related to dogs is a faithful resource I have utilized many times. AND... her new line of raw dog food, FidoFuels, is absolutely what my dogs have been needing and continue to 'slobber' for month after month. Every detail of this operation is top notch!"

    Tracy G. - Chico, California

  • "Get your dog from a place that cares about responsible dog breeding. Our dog has excellent temperament. Get your dog from a place that breeds for good temperament. Get your dog from a place that is a one stop shop for training and boarding. Nadelhaus has excellent customer service through out the years. Even though we live in the Bay Area and drive 3 hours to Nadelhaus, it is worth it."

    Jon Lee - Alameda, California

  • "I love Nadelhaus German Shepherds. They brought us our Phoebe and we couldn’t be happier. We are so grateful for our stunningly beautiful and incredibly smart pup. She is amazing and turns heads wherever we go. I recommend Nadelhaus to anyone looking for a quality GSD! They deliver on their word!"

    Corina Bonelli - Concord, California

  • "We purchased our second German Shepherd from Nadelhaus and are just as happy as we were the first time. Augie was 11 weeks when we got him and just turned 1 year old. He is smart, playful, obedient and protective. Just the right temperament and gets along well with our Lab that we got at the same time. Our family will only look to Nadelhaus for our future puppy needs. Traci is always exceptionally helpful."

    Glenn W - Tracy, California

  • "The most critical element when buying a GSD is temperament. My vet said in his 40 years of working with GSD’s he’s never taken care of one who has such a great disposition. I wouldn’t trust any other breeder... BEST part. He’s so smart, I mean it looks like I trained him but he already knows what to do. He is also very gentle to other people and animals. I listened to Traci and she said you start training them when you bring them home. I did and it was so worth it. "

    Kimberly Patton - South Bay Area, California

  • "Traci at Nadelhaus got me the German Shepard dog of my dreams. This dog is truly everything I wanted, dreamed off and much more. Traci has also been there for me throughout the entire process and responds quickly to my relentless questions. My girlfriend also got a puppy from Traci and she is happy as well. I literally can't go 2 feet without being mobbed by people going nuts over this puppy. Even the vet said he's the most beautiful GSD puppy she ever saw."

    Ron M. - San Francisco, California

  • "Just an absolutely beautiful and well tempered shepherd. The dogs are kept in a clean and comfortable facility on a nice big lot with an orchard. The time and effort put into their dogs is obvious! I am often complimented not only on how handsome our pup is, but also how well mannered he is! I purchased crate training and by the time I took the puppy home he was almost fully potty trained and used to being in his crate... If you want a beautiful, incredibly well tempered shepherd, look no further."

    Kristina Schiller - Modesto, California

  • "We just got our sweet girl Maggie from Nadelhaus and we couldn’t be happier! Traci is extremely knowledgeable and was very supportive throughout the process. You could tell she really cares about her dogs and has their best interest at heart. When we went to pick up our pup she was very patient and took time to answer all of our questions and addressed each of our concerns. We felt very assured that we had made the right decision in choosing to get our dog from Traci. We literally got everything we were looking for in a pup and I’m so thankful for that! I would recommend Nadelhaus to anyone looking for a quality GSD!"
