My name is Russell Bartell, and my wife’s name is Marilyn. As husband and wife we started breeding German Shepherd puppies back in 1985. The bloodline in our black and tan females go all the way back to the original male with which we started. Our German Shepherds have been good loyal dogs with great structure and confirmation.
We do not raise our German Shepherds to be aggressive. We raise good family dogs that are naturally protective. German Shepherds are great family dogs.

My name is Becky Legatt and my husband's name is Jonathan Legatt. I am Russell's daughter. I have been helping my dad raise German Shepherds since I was able to walk. My parents often joke that my first word was "puppy". I have always had a love for German Shepherds and our family loves every litter we have. We have two females, Mabel and Cora, and raise litters in Saint Cloud, MN.
Our family prides ourselves on raising well socialized, friendly, and healthy family dogs!

My name is Holly Kopetka and my husband's name is CJ. I am Russell's daughter too! Just like Becky, I too have been helping my dad raise German Shepherds since I was little. I have fond memories of growing up playing with the puppies. I loved to sit with them and hold them until they were all asleep. My husband and I are excited to have an all black female, Kiara! She produces the most beautiful puppies with wonderful temperaments.
I enjoy staying in contact with families after they bring their puppies home and see how our extended canine family grows!
