We are a small but special family farm in a beautiful setting just outside Marble Hill in Southeast Missouri. Our specialties are continuing to develop and we now have a delicious selection of hot pepper sauces made from fresh, organic ingredients and you will taste the difference! AKC GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS We have had German Shepherds as pets since we were kids. We bought Tasha in 2001 and she grew into such a magnificent, beautifully tempered dog, we knew we needed to pass along those genes! After the first litter was so successful, Karen began working on raising puppies, studying pedigrees and lines, obtaining dogs with good hip/elbow histories and excellent temperaments. We love the joy that is spread to others when buying a quality puppy and encourage continued contact with buyers. We now have our small ranch. Our dogs are a notch above; Check out the difference! Joe & Karen "Wonderful companions with the potential for so much more" |
Crooked Creek Ranch German Shepherd Dogs grow up in nature. They spend lots of time searching and tracking through the woods, leaping over trees and ravines, swimming in the creek, balancing by walking out on fallen trees, sprinting up and down the hills after birds, climbing rock ledges, and racing across the pastures. It's nature's "agility course" and they are great athletes because of it. German Shepherd dogs need to exercise their body and mind. Tired dogs, from a good workout, mentally and physically make better companions. They'll keep their owners in good condition too! The German Shepherd is a "working dog" so you need to be sure to give it a "job" to do. Whether that is herding, agility, obedience, a running partner, tracking, or the best family companion. They'll be much happier fulfilling a role, eager in their satisfaction to please you. |
