We've had multiple great experiences with Zimmerhoff German Shepherds. We brought home our beloved Quigley in 2015. He had great drive and the sweetest disposition. We loved him dearly. When he crossed the rainbow this summer, we adopted Rhea, a retired shepherd from Zimmerhoff. She is a wonderful addition to our house. Sweet and loyal. Great with the kids. We expect to bring home a puppy in a few weeks (Rhea's grand-daughter) and believe she will be amazing dog, beautiful, trainable and a fantastic family dog.
