Arnie is an unusually complete German Shepherd: very large and imposing, socially stable in everyday life, willing in obedience and fully capable of serious protection.

Standing approximately 66–67 cm, Arnie is a substantial, powerful male with a strong masculine head and the confident presence expected from a mature German Shepherd. His size is immediately impressive, but his value goes well beyond appearance.

Arnie was raised both in a kennel environment and inside a city apartment. He is comfortable in unfamiliar buildings, public areas, around different surfaces and in the ordinary activity of everyday life. He does not need a carefully controlled environment in order to remain composed.

He is socially appropriate, confident and clear-headed while retaining the character of a genuine working dog. He has willing obedience and works cooperatively with his handler without appearing frantic, hectic or unnecessarily difficult.

Arnie’s protection is real, strong and convincing. He is capable of working both inside and outside buildings and brings substantial power and commitment to the work. This is not protection based only on equipment or appearance. Arnie has the confidence and character required to respond seriously when needed.

What makes him particularly valuable is the combination. Many impressive protection dogs are difficult to integrate into normal life. Many socially easy dogs lack convincing protective ability. Arnie offers both: strong social behavior and environmental stability together with meaningful, proven protection.

For the right person, Arnie offers something that cannot be judged from titles alone: a large, confident and thoroughly developed German Shepherd whose temperament, ability and everyday behavior are already known.

What Our Clients Say

“Will update in a few months once we get our pup but we have been so impressed with John and Eurohund so far! His communication has been so great, we get pictures all the time of our pup and it has helped us so much to feel more connected to him before we get to meet him. John has a thorough conversation before agreeing to let you adopt one of their pups to ensure they are placed in an appropriate home. It helped us to have faith that everything will work out for both parties, we cannot wait to meet our pup and we are very appreciative of John and Eurohund!”

— Tori P. 6 Month Puppy Program

“Update- We have had our pup for almost two months now and he is a dream. The process from start to finish was so easy, pickup was seamless and communication with Eurohund was excellent. We had such a great experience and our pup has so far exceeded our expectations that we are planning on another one from Eurohund in an upcoming litter. I cannot say enough about John and Jitka and Eurohund. The vets and others who meet our pup can tell immediately he isn’t from here just because of his temperament. He is gorgeous too but what we were most concerned about was temperament and we have been so impressed. We feel like we have had him for years already. 12/10 experience.”

“Good morning John. First off I want to thank you again for giving me the opportunity to be the owner of what is without a doubt the best dog (the list is just too long) I’ve EVER owned. I’ve had a lot of GSDs and they all, deceased or living, hold a special place in my heart. Axel is the pinnacle of the list. Simply unbelievable. Anyway, feeding time (again) then out to explore “his domain!” 😂🤣 Have a great day and we’ll be in touch! 👍🇺🇸.”

— Jeff G - U.S. Army Special Forces (Retired)

“Caring, knowledgeable and supportive family. Highly recommend! John and Christina are dog people. Their knowledge of care, behavior and breeding is unparalleled. We are first time dog owners and are fortunate to have met such professionals in this field.”

— Kristen B - Crisis Response K9 Handler

““Klara is doing so great with other dogs, she was incredibly sweet and respectful of my 88 year old grandparents; super gentle with the ball, didn’t jump on their laps to give them the ball like she does to me and warmed right up to my grandmother who has a special talent as a dog whisperer! As we sit now practicing relaxing after a walk and play time, I’m so grateful and happy that she’s a part of my life… we may not share a single genetic link but we share many quirks and personality traits, she is truly MY dog and I can’t imagine what life would be like without her ” Emma Dz”

“We couldn’t be happier with our girl Corri that John brokered for us. She is great with our children and John was extremely helpful and supportive through the entire process”

“My family got a puppy from here 5 years ago and she has been a member of the family since! Working with Eurohund was easy from start to finish. They were very thorough and expectations were clear, which helped us feel like we could truly trust where our dog was coming from. She is sweet, snuggly, and such a clever girl!! Eurohund was exactly what we were looking for in a breeder.”

— Anna T

“We've had our puppy for almost 3 weeks. She is such a good dog and gets along with everybody and our other dogs. I can't say enough good things about our experience and our new puppy so far.”

— Jeremy D

“My pup, Maisey is a Eurohund GSD. She's an active, healthy 8 year old and an excellent dog, never any major health issues and people have always stopped to tell me what a beautiful dog I have (although what's most important is that she's a very loved member of the family.) I did a lot of research in selecting a breeder and couldn't be happier with my experience with Eurohund. Even eight years later, he still checks in on Maisey and has been a very helpful resource both in the beginning and through the years. I've reached out about getting another puppy from Eurohund when I'm ready and he's been very informative and responsive. I've relocated to Maryland but would without a doubt, work with Eurohund in the future and recommended them to anyone interested in a quality GSD.”

— Jillian C

“We got our Bella from Eurohund in 2018. Friends of ours got their pup from Eurohund the year before and made the recommendation. I had always wanted a GSD because I grew up with one but my husband was more reluctant because he knows of their protective nature. We couldn't be more happy with our girl and the experience we had. We were kept up to date with her progress and how vet appointments went. We were sent pictures as she was growing. We never even met her until we picked her up the day she turned 8 weeks old. We took a big chance not meeting her until then but we had faith she would be a good dog from all the reviews we read about Eurohund and the quality of dogs they are known for. They are a highly recommended breeder of GSDs. Side note: Bella was supposed to be my dog but ended up being a HUGE daddy's girl😆 My husband went from being apprehensive to loving the breed as much as I do❤️”

“We got our German Shepherd, Boston from Eurohund back in 2014 and he has been one of the best things that has ever happened to our little family. Boston is now 5 years old and we couldn’t be more in love with him. Luckily, Boston has been healthy and we have had very little health concerns. Any concerns or advice we have sought about Boston’s health, training, or just general breed-specific questions, EuroHund has always been available and welcoming to answer them all. We trust their expertise and experience with this breed more than any vet or internet search could offer. My husbands line of work sometimes requires him to be gone at night so it was important to him that he knew we were safe and protected. Boston is a great sense of security. He is extremely protective and loyal (while simultaneously being a harmless teddy bear). Boston senses anything and anyone on our four acres of land and surely makes it known to us and those passing through. My husband and I had our first baby, Mason in August 2018 and of course the thought crossed our mind about how Boston would react/interact with a new baby. However, in my heart I knew that Boston would be the best big brother - and I was right! Mason and Boston are absolutely obsessed with one another! We couldn’t be happier about how they interact and how protective and watchful Boston is of Mason. We love them both so much they had no choice but to get along! We just make sure to supervise them at all times and correct/train them both on how to respect each other’s space. We have never had an issue thus far. As a matter of fact, Boston is a great babysitter - there have been many times Boston will bark for our attention whenever he thinks Mason is in danger or getting into anything he shouldn’t be. It’s the sweetest thing! Mason will poke, grab, pat, or annoy Boston any which way - Boston simply just takes it or walks away but he has never been aggressive towards him. Boston’s biggest fault is sometimes not realizing his own size and knocking Mason down at times as they are running around the house playing. Barely phased by it, Mason gets back up and running! It’s all about proper training, supervision, and lots of love! I have attached some photos that truly show their relationship. As my husband would like to stress, Boston and all German Shepherds are truly a “man’s best friend.” Boston provides our entire family with the purest loyalty and unconditional love. He is intelligent and full of personality and life. The words “frisbee” and “car ride” over joy him. His strong and defined appearance may not show it but he is extremely friendly and approachable. Thanks to John and Christina, Boston has stolen our hearts since day one! We highly recommend Eurohund as a reputable and high-quality Breeder and assure you and your family will be pleased!”
