Puppy: Thunder
“I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed visiting your facility and meeting your sweet family (both canine and human). You have the most awesome kennel and in such a picturesque setting - it was truly a magical time for us. We talked about it all the way home.”
— Kay S., Jacksonville, FL
Puppy: Daytona
“Beautiful, intelligent, healthy German Shepherd pup is now living with us. The breeders are wonderful and welcoming to their home. We were able to meet our new puppy's parents and see how they were raised. Their home and farm are beautiful and immaculate. So happy we found Trusted Guardian German Shepherds!”
— Gary and Carla O., Palm Coast, FL
Puppy: Paris
“We were very happy with the level of professionalism, detail and thoroughness throughout the entire process of working with Trusted Guardian. We couldn’t be happier with the quality and temperament of the puppy we chose. I looked up more than one GSD breeder in Florida and was very happy to find Trusted Guardian German Shepherds. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality German Shepherd dog with a straight back (thank you!) and working bloodlines. Our dog is shaping up to be a fantastic family pet and companion to our three children.”
— Kurt M., Saint Augustine, FL
Puppy: Ginger
“My family and I are greatly appreciative of Trusted Guardian German Shepherds. This is the first time I worked with a breeder and It was a great experience. Their facilities are amazing and you can truly tell that they put in a lot of hard work, love and dedication into their German Shepherds. They are true professionals, answered all my questions in a timely manner and gave us updates throughout. We are thinking of a second dog and without question know where to go. We are very satisfied with our experience. My family and I thank you for our new family addition, she is amazing!”
— Dianna G., Bradenton, FL
Puppy: Luna
“We wanted to send a picture of Storm (formerly Luna) and update you. First off, she has been an incredible addition to our family. She is the best dog ever! She was housebroken within the first day; she automatically went to the back door and waited every time she needed to go out. Wow! She just started private training this week and is learning commands in German. Even the trainer was impressed with how quickly she took to everything. I told them it was in her DNA lol. We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful dog. ”
– Ashley B.
Puppy: Nala
“I have never seen a dog this on top of things. … To date, not one accident in the house and she has never chewed anything that isn’t hers. Kinda amazing! I rarely if ever even raise my voice. I’m very glad I found you guys!! Thank you.” - Robert H.
Puppy: Ninja
“Pat and I want to thank you for all that you have done to make this a very simple process. We also want to say how great it is to have seen how well you care for your animals. Very professional and proper. We truly believe we made a very wise choice in selecting one of your puppies.”
— George T., Orlando, FL
Puppy: Charlotte
“This is a wonderful facility. For anyone wondering, it is NOT a puppy mill. The kennel is extremely clean. The puppies are played with by all ages of people every day. The farm is beautiful and fun to visit. It’s the ideal setting for puppies to get their start in life! So happy with my puppy … she’s my new best friend!”
— June U., Winter Park, FL
Puppy: Licorice
“We have a beautiful German Shepherd from Trusted Guardian! She is so loving and a quick learner. So happy we got a German Shepherd from them! They are very professional and it's obvious they love their dogs. They have an awesome set-up for breeding and raising their puppies too! Our puppy, Nova, is such a sweet dog and she fits in our family perfectly. She loves playing with the kids and is so patient with them. She thinks she is another one of my kids. Anytime I sit in the floor, she tries to sit in my lap even though she is rapidly outgrowing it! “
— Melinda B., Forest City, NC
Puppy: Commander
“I just wanted to let you know how in love we are with Gunner! He is everything I was looking for in a German Shepherd puppy - beautiful, sweet, silly, happy, gentle, smart and playful! Gunner has already learned place, come and sit with hand signals and [in less than a month] is 95% potty trained. He gets along great with my other dog and two cats, and he is surprisingly gentle with my two-year-old grandson. Thank you again for this wonderful addition to our family!”
— Cheryl R.
Puppy: Jerry Lee
“We could not be more ecstatic and in love with Odin than we are right now. He is an absolute blast to play with, cuddle with, love on, and just be around. He acclimated to the house and new family almost instantly. We could not be happier!” – Adam A.
Puppy: Vegas
“Zora (Vegas) is doing amazing so far here at home. She’s healthy and our vet is in love with her. She’s calm much of the time and is doing great with crate training. I can’t thank you and your family enough for helping us prepare her and our home. You helped make this so much easier for us and less intimidating. Thank you for our newest addition to our family!”
— Kaiyla H., St. Augustine, FL
Puppy: Kingston
“If you ever find yourself looking for a German Shepard pup and you are confused about where to get one, look no further than the breeders at Trusted Guardian German Shepherds! They were nothing but kind and extremely professional about helping us find our beautiful baby boy! He is smart, healthy, and an absolute sweetheart! We are truly blessed to have been able to find you and Kingston, who is now named Rufus!”
— Jacob S., Cheshire, MA
Puppy: Dancer
“My wife and I got our first ever dog from Trusted Guardian German Shepherds. Being that we we're first time dog owners, it was so nice to have a breeder that was responsive, patient and informative. Their breeding area is very clean and professional. Our pup is beautiful, happy, and healthy, and we couldn't be more pleased!”
— Kyle T., Orlando, FL
Puppy: Charlie Brown
“‘Charlie Brown’ is now called King Solomon. We call him Sully. Sully is a talker; he has a lot to say about everything, whether it's time to rise for the day, lunch, or just casual conversation throughout the day. Saul's job is to investigate everything; he leaves no stone unturned. If it's lost, he'll find it; if it's not lost, he'll find that too. Sully loves car rides, walks on the beach, snuggling during movie nights, and frosty paws vanilla ice cream. He has become a loved and adored member of our family. We feel so lucky and blessed to have this smart, loyal, full-of-life pup in our lives. Thank you Trusted Guardian German Shepherds!”
– Steve B.
Puppy: Salty
“I cannot tell you how wonderful our boy is! Zuko is a calm and smart puppy who loves to please. He is a great family member and protector. He has learned so many commands. He loves to train and learn new things. He is an amazing dog and the past few months with him have been such a blessing to our family.” - Virginia F.
“We purchased Daytona a few days ago. She is so intelligent. Karen and John (and their children) are excellent breeders who take good care of their dogs and pups. Our new eight-week-old pup knows her name already and a few other commands. We just love her to pieces. Thank you, Karen and John. She is such a happy girl.”
“Greta (formerly Paris) is a phenomenal guard dog already. I had my three-year-old at the neighborhood park today with Greta when a stranger, adult man, walked into the covered pavilion near us to look at his phone. Greta had her hair up and was staring at him, watching/tracking his every move. As soon as my daughter walked into the pavilion near the man, Greta started barking at him. She’s everything I ever wanted in a family guard dog. Greta doesn’t miss a thing! I’ve had lots of dogs since my childhood German Shepherd (including a Rottweiler) and other than that GSD, none were as attentive to their surroundings as Greta is. It’s fantastic.”
“We just wanted to touch base to let you know how much we love Zelda, a.k.a. Cookie. We thank you in our minds at least once a week … and every week we say we have to reach out to tell you how much we love her and how healthy, loved, happy, sweet, and kind she is. Zelda goes everywhere with us – shopping, hiking, out on the boat – we even take her on vacation. She loves playing tag; she will chase you and then she touches you, and then you chase after her ... oh my gosh, she is so funny!!! When anyone hugs, she stops what she is doing and runs across the room to squeeze in and be a part of the hug. She is super smart, too. She can open up all the doors in the house whether they swing inside or swing out. She makes friends with everyone and every animal that will allow her to get close. And if she ever senses that somebody’s upset, she puts her big paw on your shoulder and gives you several licks to make sure that you’re ok. She is just a joy! Wherever we go, people stop us to say what a beautiful, beautiful dog she is. We are so thankful we met you, and we believe she is so sweet because of you, your family and all the love you gave Rex, Abbey and the baby puppies! Due to your love, she is self-assured – never nervous, scared or fearful. It made her confident, sweet, caring, loving, funny, hard-working and ready to help us, at our side in all of our adventures!”
