"Where Temperament Reigns"

Ruby Hertz has worked with the German Shepherd Dog since 1965, and established R. Beth Shepherds, located high in the Oakland Hills, in 1975.

R. Beth Shepherds is dedicated to producing dogs with an emphasis on health, intelligence, temperament, beauty and longevity. Our Shepherds can be seen winning in the obedience and conformation rings, working in personal protection, search and rescue, police work, assisting the deaf, and in advertising.

All puppies are home raised and well socialized to ensure soundness of temperament. The facilities are immaculate and puppies and adult dogs are guaranteed individual attention and the finest medical care. For these reasons, R. Beth Shepherds has a limited breeding program with emphasis on quality, not quantity. Most customers are repeat clients or referrals, and usually there is a waiting list for puppies. We are concerned about the puppies' future and look for only the best homes.

A unique element of our breeding program is our diet. It is based on the natural diet of dogs in the wild and is free of preservatives and chemicals. This diet has produced sound hips and elbows, dense musculature, exceptional health, vigor and long life. The strength and muscular development of our dogs is often mentioned by judges examining the dogs.

If you are looking for a German Shepherd that looks and acts like a German Shepherd, come see us.
