Hello,
     Here's a little something about us so you can get a better idea of our values and goals as lovers of the wonderful German Shepherd and Golden Retriever breeds.
    We are a God centered, family oriented kennel that places our hearts at the center of our pack family. All of our pack are family first, considering breeding only after all other needs are met. Retired pack members stay right here with us too as they are just as special as our producing members are !! We also never foster out our pack members so we can give a 100% guarantee to hands on personal care 24/7 under our own watchful eye.
     We put great efforts into producing quality puppies from healthy parents assuring worry-free years of enjoyment with your new baby. Dedication enables us to provide the best puppies that we possibly can, having the intelligence and confidence needed for working, therapy, service, tracking or just for having a family pet to enjoy. Of course, due to the expenses and efforts we invest in your new little one, we also expect a few things from you such as good feeding, proper exercise, lots of love and proper vet care to keep your little one as happy as possible.
      Exclusive Alzimm, written, Genetic, Congenital, Hip/Health guarantee packages go home with every puppy along with AKC registration papers, pedigree information, Licensed veterinarian health information and much, much more. All details are carefully gone over with you in person when you choose your puppy. And of course, shipping is never an option as we want to personally meet anyone who gets a puppy from us and we want you to meet us and see our facilities along with our meeting our family pack members.
      Nursing Home visits (featured below) with those less fortunate plays and integral part with us and our grand children.
   We take to heart every one of the families that have provided a loving home for our little ones and hope you all have many happy and  healthy years ahead to enjoy with your Alzimm fur baby.We are always here 24/7 with complete,back-up,support for any Alzimm puppies their entire lifetime. And of course we love the many pictures and testimonials that you all send to
 us !!
     Raising puppies is not a competition, it's a serious commitment. Please think carefully Before getting a puppy.If cost is your first question, we question whether you can afford to provide proper care for a puppy. Puppies take a lot of hard work, dedication, expenses and clean up but when all is said and done, the rewards are priceless !
                                                                                                                   Thank you for stopping by,
                                                                                                                     Gene and Vickie  Zimmerly
                                                                                                                   And all of our Kennel Helpers

                                   
                    

                                  Yes, we are proud to be a family-friendly breeder

                Being a family companion oriented breeder, this in no way means that our puppies lack in quality or high standards.

                  We are firm on breeding for Health , Temperament and Breed Confirmation first. Good looks are the icing on the cake.

                         We are also firm believers that families should have a high quality, show, working, service potential puppy.

                                                                   And just why shouldn't families have the best too ?

                  We do not breed mostly or all Working lines German Shepherds as they have way to much drive for the average family.

Below: What we are about




                 
As is tradition with all our Alzimm pack,"Little Red " Now named (Jake) got to do his first home visit and loved it.This boy has a superbly sweet disposition and is extremely gentle at this young age.


                       
    We can't emphasize enough to get your new puppy involved in sharing her/ his love with some one less fortunate. It is such a blessing to everyone .It's our most heart felt and favorite thing about having our pack members and puppies here at Alzimm. The rewards are priceless!!!


                        
                      (Konjo)                                                   Above,we even get to run onto old friends at times. Hi Margaret!!!
                      
                                                 Certificates,Titles and Words can "BOAST" of anything.....
            BUT: Taking the TIME & COMMITMENT to share your pet's LOVE is PRICELESS !

                                     We highly recommend that you get your companion involved, just as we actually do. You will not regret it!

                      We thank God everyday for the bountiful blessings He has given us.
                                             Have you counted your blessings today?

  Above:Koda with me at a visit.. Gene with Koda on his first visit to the home with our Brother at 6 weeks old.

                               
         Above: Mom is always there to lend a hug too. Thanks Mom!!! While we have the chance to get to say......... We could not have a better Mother than ours. She drives everyday quite a distance to care for our Brother (For over 8 years now since his brain stem tumor surgery)
He would not still be here without her!!. Thanks Mom,You are an Angel for sure !!!!

Special note from Vickie:
    Actually the credit goes to our brother for starting Alzimm. When we almost lost him 8 years ago,I promised him that I would get a GSD to take in to visit him if he tried hard and got better. He has always had a strong love for the GSD Breed .Needless to say, he got off the ventilator and had many miracles that still continue to happen.
                 Thus my hunt for Koda,my rock, our first Alzimm puppy and my dear loyal companion.
                                  Thanks Randy for giving us a gift we will never forget!!!
   It's amazing,it's as if Koda was created for the home visits. He has a great natural gentleness and is extremely careful around the elderly and any handicapped person. This was not taught by us as we have been taught by Koda. His patience in the home is unmatched and many always ask us if he is TDI'd. No he is not,he just does it. The homes have welcomed him with open arms and we could not be prouder.

                         

                   
                       Above: Our Grandbabies always like to help out too!!! Thanks Kids,you're the best!!!

                                        

                            


                      

                                                   Even our pack members get tired and need a little break too on visiting days.


           Due to respecting others privacy, we do not show many of the wonderful pictures we have of our home visits.
