    I have been breeding German shepherds for 54 years. I met Ron Pace in 1972. I was very impressed with his knowledge and gentle training methods. I enrolled in his personal protection/ obedience training class and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Through the years several of my puppy owners have taken his classes and called to thank me several times for the referral.

He is my friend!!
