A Message to You from Carol

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. Because it means a great deal to me, I'd like to share with you an honor I recently received from the American Kennel Club. I have been awarded Breeder of Merit. Click here to visit the AKC website and read about the Breeder of Merit Program.

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 plenty of time to spend with you and answer your questions about German Shepherds and puppies.

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