About Me
I'm Julie
THIS IS WHO I AM
I believe in achieving the standard of the German Shepherd, as originally defined my Max v. Stephanitz and in today's world, Louis Donald.
I've had over 30 years of experience living beside, training with, rescuing, and now breeding German Shepherd Dogs. This passion for the breed has been ingrained in my family for generations, and I am proud to continue this legacy.
My purpose in breeding is to contribute to the advancement of the breed, aligning with the esteemed standards set by Louis Donald. While I maintain a career in Corporate America working for Fortune 50 companies, breeding is not a means of livelihood for me. Instead, it is a commitment to upholding the living standard of the German Shepherd Dog breed. Therefore, I do not treat my dogs as a commodity, and do not rely on them for my primary income.
I aim to make positive contributions to the GSD breed and the surrounding organizations that support the assess, support, and work the breed. Through my journey, I have experienced breeders who shirked responsibility for their creations. I know what it feels like to be bullied, blamed, and blocked for speaking up when my puppy had severe health problems (e.g., hip dysplasia).
On this journey, I will challenge the avarice, corruption, and biases prevalent in the show world. I am an advocate for German Shepherd Dogs, supporting experts and embracing new knowledge to ensure their well-being.
We raise and train our dogs with utmost care. They are an integral part of our family, residing in our home and receiving constant attention.
I actively participate in IGP clubs and events, firmly believing that engaging in various activities enhances the lives of our dogs. In addition to protection, obedience, and tracking training, I encourage my dogs to earn their CGC+ certification and engage in enjoyable sports such as Dock Diving, FastCat, and Mantrailing.
Thank you for considering Milestone German Shepherd Dogs as your trusted breeder. We are committed to providing you with exceptional dogs that embody the highest standards of the breed.
Sincerely,
Julie Hendrickson
