I've recently rescued a DDR german shepard. He came from the local shelter as a lost dog he wasn't chipped or neutered...he is now.

I'm in eastern nebraska and I can't find anyone even remotely close to here that breeds them.

He is incredibly well trained, very protective, and very serious he seems to have no desire to play with toys or chase things. He will stay in or on (back of a pickup) vehicles for hours and not move unless you tell him. He's house broken and never had an accident even the first night I had him. He's very alert to strangers coming to my house or coming near me in public. It makes me think he's had some training in protection or done schutzhund or similar.

Anyone have any resources on them mostly just looking to talk to people with similar dogs and figure out how or where I could adopt others.

DDR shepherds in google brings up a few breeders and some history on the breed but not much else. I'm not much on buying from a breeder and their prices are $1500+ for a puppy and $5000+ for a trained adult.

Any input about them would be great

Very nice dog! I would head over to here for more info on them:

I know it's not much help and all it took was google but they look nice over there ;)

Edit: Doh, that one seems kinda dead,but still lots of info on the posts regardless. This one is active:

Thanks for the links, some really good stuff in there. The second one that's active won't activate your account without address, phone number, first and last name etc. which is a little much for me. Not that I couldn't fake them but I found most of what I wanted to know just lurking around and also a few breeders more local to me than I found on google. I'm going to contact a few of them with some questions.

He is such an awesome dog, can't believe he was at the pound no, chip and no one looking for him someone had to have spent some money to get him.
