-GSD VOM INSEL
Home of the Versatile Herding Dog

“The ideal dog is a working
animal with incorruptible character combined with body and gait suitable for the
arduous work that constitutes its primary purpose.” -GSD breed standard.
At Vom Insel, we strive for
this ideal.

There is nothing extreme about my girls’
structure except its correctness for working ability. Their trots are smooth and effortless, which not only allows them
to go all day, but also is more soothing to livestock than a choppy gait. They also possess the speed and sharp
turning ability necessary to head off fleeing livestock.
They are all extremely talented herding
dogs with precise natural balance and an excellent ability to read
livestock. Their titles include many
different courses and four types of livestock reflecting the wide versatility
of their herding skills. They are the
top herding GSD in North America.
Despite being top-ranked working dogs, my
dogs are very easy to live with because they are bred for calmness and
biddability. They have on/off switches
to their working drives that they set to off when not working.
