Vom Jagerhaus West German Shepherds was founded in 2003 by Carl and Dawn Hollister. I have always loved the German Shepherd Dog breed, and have had German Shepherds since I was a child. In 1986 I founded "Silverleaf Shepherds" in my hometown of Newberry, MI, where I owned my two dogs, "Toskey's Cinnamon Delight" (Cindy), and Toskey's Classic Coke, (Hercules). Herc was my confirmation show dog, winning many U.S. and Canadian awards.
