How We Select Our German Shepherds
Steve Scott has built exclusive first-choice partnerships with elite European breeders in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, and Hungary. These relationships give us immediate access to exceptional German Shepherds with proven working pedigrees. Every dog we select has already demonstrated the intelligence, drive, and temperament we demand before training begins.
As a family-owned business, we fully understand that a family protection dog must be trustworthy with children. German Shepherds are particularly loving and loyal companions, but we still test our protection dogs extensively with children from a young age. That way, you can count on your protection dog to be protective, safe, and loving with your kids.

What Families Say About Their Protection Dogs
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
At Scott’s K9, we make our decisions based on the temperament of each individual dog and not based on its gender. We have bought and delivered thousands of dogs over 20 years, and we know how to find a needle in a haystack—the perfect GSD guard dog for you.
While both breeds have been bred as guard dogs, German Shepherds have significantly higher endurance and speed, have higher intelligence, and are easier to train. German Shepherds like to work, and so they are ready and willing to follow commands and patrol tirelessly. Rottweilers are also less tolerant of children and other dogs.
The best German Shepherd guard dogs are hand-selected by Scott’s K9 from European breeders. We work with specific breeders who let us know immediately when they have an exceptional dog that meets our standards. Once we personally choose a dog, we train them rigorously under the expert guidance of Steve Scott. We hand-deliver the dog and conduct a thorough 2-day handler course with you and your family to set you up for success and ensure your new protection dog is fully bonded to you and your family.
The cost of a German Shepherd protection dog with expert training can vary a bit, depending on the caliber of the dog, the extent of the dog’s training, the certifications the dog or trainer has received, and the dog’s abilities. A GSD that has received elite-level training can cost between $100,000 and $250,000 or beyond. At Scott’s K9, we have exceptionally trained, top-tier protection dogs available from $150,000 to $250,000.
Whether or not your protection dog is safe around children and other pets depends on the dog’s training and socialization. At Scott’s K9, we take our training and family socialization extremely seriously. We ensure each dog has extensive training with children and other pets beginning from an early age. We also complete the last phase of each dog’s training in our own homes, so every one of our protection dogs learns what it’s like to live in a family home.
German Shepherds from Scott’s K9 are 2-3 years old and fully trained and socialized. Our dogs are hand-picked from our trusted European breeders and are exclusively trained by us. Getting a German Shepherd from a breeder can be a great option if you want a family pet. However, if you’re looking for a fully trained protection dog that you can rely on for both companionship and security, dogs from Scott’s K9 are first-class.
