Gutten Haus was established in 1989. The word Gutten Haus means Good House. We are a small breeding kennel located in Sandwich, Illinois. 1 hour west of Chicago, Illinois. Our dogs are out of some of the best German import working bloodlines available today. Some of the bloodlines we use are old well know bloodlines from East German, West German and Czech. We also implement some of the newer bloodlines well known today.

We specialize in German Shepherds for dog sports, SAR, therapy work, Police K-9's, Bomb Detection K9's, and the very best in family companions. We are totally dedicated to the German Shepherd Dog. We have very high standards, strong principals, ethics, and support our puppy buyers for the lifetime of their puppy.

We hand pick our dogs and puppies and they must have outstanding temperaments to be called a Gutten Haus dog. Temperament is the number one thing we look at in a German Shepherd. The quality you get from Gutten Haus is hard to beat. Our litters are carefully thought out and planned responsibly. We have built an outstanding reputation of professional excellence. Because we are so committed to the true working German Shepherd and what it was means to be, both physically and mentally sound. Our litters are consistently uniformed in type, always have excellent temperaments, strong nerves, exceptional drives, correct in structure, very healthy, and always have a strong willingness to please you.

We enjoy hearing from you and any inquiries about our dogs and puppies. We are very proud of our dogs and love to show them off. Please don't hesitate to call and make an appointment to visit.
