Hello and welcome to the Ca-Ji Shepherd website. My name is Carol Veitenheimer, owner and breeder here at Ca-Ji. I've been breeding German Shepherds for over 50 years now. My goal in breeding has always been to produce the German Shepherd Dog Standard—correct temperament and body structure. I breed for the complete German Shepherd who serves as a family companion and working dog.

Too many kennels breed any two random German Shepherds with little or no regard to breeding for type and temperament – just to produce puppies for sale. Because of my many years of experience, I am able to select breedings that consistently produce sound temperament and bodies, high intelligence, and superb trainability. Each pup has the essential traits and instincts to become a loving family companion.

The German Shepherd Dog is not for everyone. German Shepherds are incredibly intelligent, sensitive, and intuitive animals, and they require a life commitment from their "owners." I invite you to contact Ca-Ji if you have an interest in becoming the proud owner of a German Shepherd. I will be happy to talk with you to make sure that this wonderful breed is right for you. I sell only to individuals who are seeking a wonderful companion and family member. I do not sell to pet stores or to resellers.

Visitors are welcome to visit Ca-Ji Shepherds by appointment. By knowing you are coming, I can set aside time to answer your questions and spend the time necessary to help you select your puppy.

It is with heavy heart that I note the passing of Joel's beloved Trooper, an explosives detection dog.  Please visit their special page.
