Introduction

For those who are new

to KiestHaus Shepherds,

we want thank you for your

interest in the foundation of the

Old Style Traditional

Giant German Shepherd Dogs.

I am Judy Kiest, and along with my husband

of over fifty years, Jerry, we began this journey

"back in the day" when the German Shepherd breed

was undergoing many changes; both in the American

show ring and in the European performance ring.

While there were many fanciers of the breed who held

diverse opinions about these changes, we chose to set

upon our own path of maintaining the qualities we held

dear in the breed, and establishing a breeding

program to keep these qualities intact, both

for ourselves and for others of like minded

values -- as well as for future generations.

We bred our first two litters of German Shepherds in 1966.

Since that time, we have been dedicated to the development ,

breeding, training, enjoying and especially loving of these

wonderful Giant Oversized Old Type Traditional

German Shepherd Dogs.

One of our initial goals and desires was to pass on what we have

been blessed with in these wonderful dogs. All of the years of work,

trial,error, and success has been shared with other serious breeders

and many caring families throughout the world. We have been honored to share these special dogs with so many.

Most of the folks who acquire a Shepherd from us have become

our friends, and many have returned for their next dog, and

their next... as the years have gone by. Our dogs typically have wonderful health and longevity that is appreciated by the

families who have come to love them as we do. Over the past

four decades, many of these people have returned to us either to add or to replace a long lived family companion,

and devoted protector. When we look back over these many years

of devotion to our dear animal and human family, we realize our

lives have been both rewarding and sad, but ultimately so full of so many wonderful times that there is not too much we would want to change. We are so appreciative of the many friends we've made through association with our KiestHaus Shepherds, and the truly

great dogs we have been able to share in enjoying.

We are very pleased and happy to see so many serious

Old Fashioned Traditional Giant German Shepherd breeders

advertising on the internet and in the dog speciality magazines

these days; continuing on the foundation of our precious dogs,

and developing many new lines that blend so well with the

original KiestHaus Giant and Oversized German Shepherd

family. I also wish to compliment those breeders on the

great photos of the Shepherds that they purchased from

us, as well as the Shepherds that they are breeding and

blending with our original family of dogs. To own a

sound, beautiful,intelligent, loyal Old Style
