Absolutely. Our Czech bloodlines are carefully selected for stable, family safe - temperament. A perfect example: Boston has lived with the same family for 11 years - from when they had no children to now having four children ranging from toddler to 7 years old . He's been consistently gentle, devoted, watchful and protective throughout.

Natural protective instincts do not mean aggression toward family members. Our dogs understand the difference between family and genuine threats. They're watchful, not reactive - confident, not aggressive. As with any dog or social being, proper socialization and training/education are essential.

EuroHund's Czech working lines maintain genetic character developed over 50+ years for serious applications - military, police, search & rescue, and service work. These dogs were bred by the Czechoslovakian Border Patrol programs starting in the 1950s, to work with young, inexperienced conscripts as well as hardened pro K9 handlers creating extremely versatile dogs with:

• Unshakable temperament: Stable under pressure, confident in chaos
• Natural working ability: Drive and focus that cannot be trained into lesser genetics
• Balanced character: Serious capability yet safe for novice families, young professional handlers as well as seasoned working dog handlers.
• Longevity and health: Working selection prioritizes soundness over cosmetic traits. Our dogs generally live active lives up until their passing at 12-15 years old. 

Many other German Shepherd lines have been bred for extremes or oftentimes with no purpose whatsoever.  This has often resulted in the breed losing the versatile working character, health, and temperament stability that made the breed legendary. Some of the breeders in our circle were members of the Czechoslovakian Border Patrol (Pohranicni Straze) K9 program. This includes the owner of often used stud dog Nikolas, who started with the Pohranicni Straze in 1972 and was a K9 team leader followed by Captain overseeing Czech police breeding program. Another of our recent studs, IGP 3 and Police K9 - Excalibur, was chosen to "contribute" to a breed revitalization program in Germany.  

So, when you choose EuroHund, you are not just getting your typical working line German Shepherd or your typical Czech German Shepherd, you are getting a puppy or dog from the most knowledgeable and experienced German Shepherd professionals on the planet, all with 20-50+ years experience. 

Our Czech working-line German Shepherds excel across the complete spectrum of working applications:

• Family Companions: Devoted daily partners, safe with children, stable in public settings
• Personal & Family Protection: Natural guardian instincts, observant, discriminatie with appropriate response to genuine threats. 
• Search & Rescue: Drive, endurance, focus and problem solving for professional SAR teams
• Service Dog Work: Public access stability, task focus, and intuitive handler bonding for ADA applications
• Therapy & Crisis Response: Calming presence for trauma survivors and high-stress environments 
• Professional K9 Programs: Selected placements with law enforcement, prison services and specialized working teams.

The versatility comes from genetic character - dogs bred to think, adapt, and excel under any circumstances. These innate traits cannot be trained into a dog.

Most families want both - a devoted companion who's also naturally protective. Our dogs integrate seamlessly into daily life: park visits, vet appointments, children's activities, public outings. They're calm, social, and trustworthy in normal situations.

The protection aspect is innate awareness, not trained aggression. They're watchful without being confrontational, confident without being reactive. If a genuine threat emerges, their genetics provide appropriate response - but they don't go through life on edge or aggressive toward strangers.

You get a wonderful family member who happens to be extremely capable when needed, not a "weapon" you have to manage constantly.

You're investing in several critical factors:

• Elite genetics: Direct access to Czech breeding programs most U.S. sources cannot obtain
• Proper selection: 25+ years expertise in choosing dogs with correct temperament, health, and working ability
• Health guarantees: Hip/elbow certifications, DM testing, comprehensive health screening
• Training foundations: Professional socialization and basic training before placement
• Lifetime support: You're not just buying a dog - you're gaining a consultant for the life of your dog

The genetic quality we provide cannot be recreated through training alone. A dog from questionable genetics will cost you far more in behavior problems, health issues, and failed expectations than the upfront investment in the right dog from the start. "Failed expectations" could cost you much more than any amount of money could ever replace.

For dogs currently in the United States, yes - we can arrange visits or video calls to see the dog working and assess fit for your family.

For dogs currently in the Czech Republic (which most are until placement), we provide  video documentation, health records, and detailed consultation about temperament and suitability. Given 25+ years of successful placements, we're very accurate in matching dogs to families - but we understand the concern about buying sight-unseen.

Many clients have purchased based on our assessment and recommendation, with excellent long-term results. We're invested in right matches, not just sales.

We create harmony between dogs and families - transforming relationships from chaotic beginnings to seamless partnerships. It's not just about teaching commands; it's about building communication, trust, mutual respect and being "in tune" with each other.

Think of it like turning a beginner garagel band into a professional symphony orchestra. Same musicians, but with proper instruction, practice, and understanding, they create something beautiful together. You will become the conductor!

We use methods tailored to each dog's temperament, drive, and learning style. Some dogs respond beautifully to positive reinforcement alone; others thrive on clear structure and appropriate corrections. We're results-focused, not ideologically rigid. We have successfully trained - rehabilitated aggressive dogs without the use of any collars or head control devices due to previous injuries. Would it have been easier with collars? Yes. Work with us and we will get whatever challenges you may be facing figured out.

Yes. We specialize in cases other trainers won't handle:

• Aggression (dog-to-dog or human-directed)
• Reactivity and leash lunging
• Resource guarding (food, toys, spaces)
• Territorial behavior and excessive protection
• Failed training attempts from other professionals
• Dogs on their "Last Chance"

We often deliver results in days that other trainers take months to achieve. Our expertise comes from 25+ years working with dogs at every level - from  fresh puppies to adopted dogs with unknown pasts with serious behavioral issues.

No - we train all breeds, all ages, all situations. While German Shepherds are our specialty for breeding and sales, our training expertise extends across every breed from Chihuahuas to Great Danes.

The principles of communication, respect, and partnership apply universally. We adjust methods to suit each dog's size, temperament, learning style and intended long-term outcome.

It depends on your goals and your dog's starting point:

• Basic obedience: 4-6 sessions for solid foundation
• Advanced work: 4-6 additional sessions for off-leash reliability
• Behavior modification: Varies by severity—some cases resolve in a single intensive day, others require ongoing support
• Crisis intervention: Immediate stabilization in 1-2 sessions, then follow-up as needed

We deliver results faster than most trainers because we focus on creating understanding, not just repetition. One breakthrough session often accomplishes what weeks of conventional training cannot. A recent case had us successfully help two family dogs that had been terrorizing the neighborhood. We got their owners and them on the right path in one half-day session. This was also the case where no collars could be used due to a previous trainer being too forceful. So, we can usually customize training and rehabilitation framework in more than one specific way. 

Yes! Virtual training is highly effective for many situations:

• Basic obedience coaching and troubleshooting
• Behavior problem assessment and action plans
• Follow-up support after in-person programs
• Clients outside our local travel area

We work with clients nationwide through live video sessions, observing your dog in their actual home environment and coaching you through proven techniques in real-time.
