To honor the tradition of a versatile loyal loving family companion with NO extremes. Our focus is on preserving the perfection created 100 years ago by Cavalry Captain, Max von Stephanitz on April 22, 1899. Essentially a working dog with exceptional trainablity and loyalty. We also value calm dogs with a steady temperament.
Appleridge lines have built a reputation over the decades for their incredible intelligence, calmness and great character.
(1) You maintained membership in good standing for a minimum period of ten consecutive years.
(2) You bred purebred dogs for a minimum period of ten years and that you bred or owned not less than five dogs individually registered with CKC which included APPLERIDGE in the dogs’ names; and, that each of these dogs had been granted a CKC title.
(3) You have not been subject to disciplinary action during the term of your membership which resulted in suspension, deprivation, termination or expulsion.
We have dedicated our lives day in day out, year after year, to bringing Quality German Shepherd Dogs to families just like yours. We have been blessed with these amazing dogs and are excited to share them with families that will appreciate our commitment for future generations of humans to cherish.

Appleridge lines have built a reputation over the decades for their incredible intelligence, calmness and great character.
Our lines have grown to be known for excellent scenting dogs whether for service, keen trackers or alert dogs. Many family dogs will excel at multiple tasks, as families generally are full of life and experiences that fill their dogs days with activities and learning experiences. Hide and seek is a fabulous prelude to search and rescue, enjoyed by young and old alike.
Willingness to please is what a Appleridge dog is all about. With a good leader these well bred dogs from the World Top Pedigrees can learn to your hearts desire. When raised properly to respect family structure and pack leadership, these dogs will go on to be almost telepathic in nature and be cable to predict your need as you are thinking it.
Appleridge creates dogs of sturdy nature, larger boned with traditional type and colour. We appreciate the many types of GSD's available, but choose to stay steadfast in tradition. A dog that thinks before acting, a dog that respects other animals and any age human, a dog that enjoys being a member of it's pack and loves life to the fullest with their family members, one that would gladly sacrifice their own life, if the pack is being threatened, yet is tolerant to the empth degree of family and friends.
Our dogs are in family homes, friends and family and our own. There are No kennel dogs. We respect our Best friends too much to bore them with the limitations of a kennel. We've bred, co-bred,trained or trained the parents..................
