We love seeing the adventures you have throughout the life of your dog. A healthy GSD will live 10-14 years, and there is so much to enjoy and discover during that time. Please keep us updated with stories and pictures of your furry family member. There are five generations of Ransomshire German Shepherds, starting with Bauernhoffen’s Ransomed Tamar, half German / half American lines, who we lost after a tragic accident at age 3 years.  We kept two of her pups and continue to breed a mix of E/W lines. Here are some photos of dogs we have bred ourselves.
