The Owners
Julie and Marty Saso
Marty and Julie have owned and operated My BodyGuard Dogs for over 30 years now. Marty grew up with German Shepherd Dogs and later started My BodyGuard Dogs with his wife, Julie. Together, they strive to be a great breeding and training facility. The goal is to produce some of the most sought-after German Shepherd Dogs in the world. In addition, they offer a world class training facility with a wide variety of training options to help owners achieve the perfect companion and/or competition dog.
Our Standards
We breed and have been breeding German Shepherd Dogs with the intention of helping create family companions for the past 30 years. They are bred with solid nerves, courage, adaptability, intelligence, and instinctual protection skills. All our dogs are 100% West German lines. We follow the standard for conformation set by the German Shepherd Club in Germany (the SV - Verein fur Deutsche Schaeferhunde) to ensure that all our German Shepherd Dogs and puppies attain these qualities.
Bettering The Breed
All our litters are temperament tested at 7 weeks of age. All our puppies go home at 8 weeks with a full registration to the AKC, are vet checked by a certified veterinarian, microchipped, and have their first puppy shots.
