Temperament + Working Ethic + Health & Longevity + Correct Conformation = BALANCE!

"Dedicated to Shepherds With Working Minds and Correct Conformation"

Thank you for visiting our webpage. We at Zwinger von Kleiner Feuerball (Kennel of Little Fireball) are dedicated to Preserving the Working German Shepherd. We believe in form meeting function for the total "Golden Middle" dog. We believe that TEMPERAMENT is of paramount importance, because without sound Temperament... You have NOTHING. Then one must have WORKING ETHIC because the German Shepherd is first and foremost a working dog. Next, one must have good HEALTH and LONGEVITY for a companion with few health problems to be a lovely longtime companion. Finally, you must have CORRECT CONFORMATION, so your dog can physically do his chosen job effectively and effortlessly. We believe that a dog with all these attributes is a truly BALANCED animal with everything he/she needs to take him/her anywhere.

We are a small, family run Hobby Kennel. Our entire family is involved in our dogs. My daughter and myself take care of the day to day doggie training and socialization. My direct family along with my father, uncle, brother, godfather, and grandmother have all had, or currently have dogs we have bred. We have only a few litters a year, and pride ourselves on the QUALITY of dogs we produce.

My family has always had German Shepherds, so it was a natural step for me to start out with a German Shepherd Dog. I am also a Veterinary Technician, and I have been training dogs since i was 17. I pride myself on breeding and raising well adjusted, happy, healthy, beautiful animals that are suitable for any walk of life. We use Working lines with very good to excellent structure as well as Show lines that have excellent working abilty in our breeding program. We believe you must have a true balance of temperament, working drives and structure to maintain strong working dog characteristics in a beautiful animal.

The puppies we have bred have gone on to be loving Family Companions, Service Dogs, Show Dogs, Police Dogs, Search and Rescue Dogs, Narcotics Detection Dogs, Obedience Dogs and much more. We have had puppies as young as 5 1/2 months save an owner's child from being kidnapped. You can not TRAIN these attributes, they are natural instincts and they are priceless. We have puppies all over the United States as well as in Canada, Japan, Viet Nam, the Phillipines, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. We are proud of ALL our dogs, they are all our children.
