REFINING AND REDEFINING THE ULTIMATE CANINE COMPANION. 

Breeder with over 30 years of experience in dog breeding; dog training; and raising Long Coat German Shepherds!

Emphasis in breeding Superior Family Companions, with a natural, athletic performance and working desire!

Our Long Coat German Shepherds range from standard size to large in size, but are not strictly bred JUST for size!

We breed for TOTAL DOG!

 
We love our dogs and hope that you will too, after your visit!
 
 

 


 
Vom Haus Dettmer's home is on a beautiful ranch in Missouri Valley, IA., where we share our home with a few superior, devoted and extremely loyal Long Haired or Long Coated German Shepherd companions.  Some people call them long coated, some call them long haired.  Whatever you call them, they are simply German Shepherds with long hair!   They are NOT mix-breed German Shepherds! 
 
If you've never owned a Long Hair German Shepherd, please do your research on this breed before considering one.  They need socialization, training and human contact.  A family that will love them unconditionally is a must!
 
 
 
 
 
We don't sell 'our' dogs to be tethered to a chain in the backyard or put on a 'shock' collar just to patrol the premises.  Although, there are dogs that serve a 'protection' purpose, they are properly trained and cared for by professionals for this position.   In the wrong hands these dogs can be very dangerous, as with any breed unsupervised or not given the proper care.  Long Coat German Shepherds desire and DESERVE a 'family' environment.   Their ability to give and please is unsurpassed.    
 
 
You will see ME as their handler, with them, around people, at outings, in TRAINING, being socialized, swimming, eating and just being loved on.  These are the SAME DOGS you will see as the parents to potential puppies that YOU might own.  Not 'just' pictures of various dogs I have bred or placed.  But, these too!    
 
With permission and much PRIDE, I will display to the world pictures of my Happy Families to whom we do sell our puppies who model our same practices, to whom we teach and sometimes preach!  In a nice way, of course!
 
 
You will also see the admiration and joy we display to our very young folks who take so much interest, pride and responsibility in raising their young puppies.  To them, our hearts go out and we are forever grateful!  We appreciate the parents for being such wonderful role models since our children will, someday, be the next generation of responsible canine owners! 
 


 
 
 
 
Our Long Coated German Shepherds are bred to be intelligent, loving and loyal to their humans. 
 

 
 
You won't hear a lot of 'lip service' about what our dogs can do, you will SEE IT!!  OUR Long Haired German shepherds will be pictured in action, not just standing out at the end of a leash posing for the camera.    Our dogs don't stand in kennels.  They get TONS of daily exercise, and are multi-dog friendly!

 
 
 
The Long Coat German Shepherd has the ability to excel in any 'sport', and is second to none.  Whether it be searching, hiking, swimming, obedience, digging, therapy, fishing, standing guard at the gate, sleeping OR just playing catch in the backyard, these dogs will perform to their utmost best! 
 

 
A group shot!

 

At Vom Haus Dettmer, we spend hours with our German Shepherd dogs developing their minds and hearts so that we can produce the Ultimate Family Companions in their progeny.  You will see our love and commitment for the betterment of the Long Coat German Shepherd breed, in strong minds, bodies and temperament. 
 
Our love is deep, and our commitment in breeding sound dogs is important.  These dogs are first and foremost members of our family.  It is after that, we choose to share our lines with others!
 
 
WE own ALL OUR breeding dogs.  We NEVER give away a dog and retain breeding rights and make money off the sale of the puppies that the new owner breeds, without having to care for the dog.   When we sell a puppy or dog, it is YOURS to keep! 
 
Our HAUS is a small home and hobby breeding.   We normally offer two litters of pups for sale each year.
 
 
If we keep a puppy for breeding that we later decide to sell, you may see an older dog on our site for sale. 
 
 
If you don't provide activities for your German Shepherd, be assured, they will make their own 'fun' - like digging up your flower garden!  TRAINING is a MUST, and very possible with this breed!  You get out of it what you put into it!  Training builds greater relationships, develops lines of 'communication' and makes all companions a better member of 'society'.  What more could you ask for??
 

 
The one, most important trait you will get with a Long haired German shepherd is unconditional love. 
 
Please be forewarned...you will have a friend for life! 
 
One that will 'trail' your footsteps, into unknown territories, with the utmost respect, for the remainder of your time together.  You are not an 'owner' of this breed, they are your loyal companion.  Their dedication to your 'relationship' is unconditional and lifelong.
 

 
 
If you are not in the 'market' for a dog at this time, please email me for future litter information. 
 
See our INFORMATION page for greater details on our program.
 
Most all of the information that is on this site is written by me.  I try to use very few links, as I'm not concerned about 'ranking' my site, rather sharing 'MY' input or views on how Long Coat German Shepherds of MY Haus are raised.  Often times, a site becomes crowded and confusing by so many links, in an effort to achieve 'rankings'.  Many times, you're not sure if the person even shares the same 'views' or opinions as the links they are presenting!   You can usually tell when the verbiage they present conflicts with the link info they are posting - if the link still works!
 

 
We really DO appreciate you stopping by!

Long Coat German Shepherd-Haus Dettmer mission is to..

Continually assess our breeding program to ensure only the healthiest dogs are bred, in mind, body, temperament and longevity, for the betterment of the German Shepherd breed.  We strive to achieve this goal through ongoing education, 'hands-on' breeding practices, active participation in training and club events, testing prior to breeding, and continual feedback from clients who have purchased our pups!

Our pups are ONLY sold to responsible pet owners who are required to follow proper leadership, training, and life-long care for the dogs purchased from our Haus.  We are proud of our hard work and commitment to producing quality offspring! 

The Long Coat German Shepherd-Haus Dettmer puppies are not only some of the most stunning dogs you will see, their lines are from some of the most well-known German Shepherd Champions in the world. 

We have German Shepherds from standard to large size German Shepherds.  We NEVER breed strictly for size!

At Long Coat German Shepherd-Haus Dettmer we breed for TOTAL dog!  A German Shepherd that is an athlete, true to his working dog heritage and a loyal family companion.

We offer life-time breeder support. 
 

 

 
 
 

 
Vom Haus Dettmer Dogs:

The above information was based on the GSD Standard.  Vom Haus Dettmer raises LONG HAIRED, LONG COAT or PLUSH German Shepherds, so their coats will be longer than the AKC standard and with varying colors.  The size of the VHD dog sometimes exceeds that stated above, although breeding goals are not simply to create huge or massive dogs, but those of good size without hindrance to the true working, herding ability in which these dogs possess.
