What it means to be ... Bred, Fed and Trained by Grasso
Over 20 years’ experience in breeding superior German shepherd dogs. No kennel dogs! We don't believe in keeping breeding dogs like zoo animals. Character traits, temperament, nerves and sociability are all passed on to offspring. Our breeding dogs live in homes, this allows us to truly know the dog we are breeding. In a kennel environment, you cannot get to know a dog fully, you have to live with a dog intimately to know the dog. In my opinion, whether police or family dog our dogs are acclimated into a variety of situations that others simply just don't do. I can compare it to breeding wild animals... if you take a wolf cub out of the wild and raise it in a family that wolf cub will become social no doubt...however that same wolf cub will also still retain some wild like tendencies, which will be apparent at times due to the years and years of character traits being passed on. It's the same we see with kennel dogs who develop almost a neutral, hardened cage like temperament... while kennel time can be valuable and is quiet fine in moderation. I feel due to mass producing goals it is often almost always abused.
In regards to diet, we have become diet specialist in maintaining and switching dogs onto a real food diet over the last 20 years. Having made our own food in the beginning, learning the right balance over trial and error. Raising over 60 litters on a completely real food diet producing noticeable results.

We are proud to service our men and woman in blue. Having earned the respect and following of many Police departments makes us proud. Almost every police dept. from NYPD/Yonkers to as far North as Torrington, CT chooses to have a Grasso dog! Why? We can answer this simply, it's a difference based on old school principles. A true Passion for ones calling, this isn't a business to us paying attention to fine detail, a team with unparalleled work ethic and a motto of "do the right thing" is the base of our business. Support and more support! People want to learn from experienced professionals, they want support when in good times and in bad. We pride ourselves in staying in touch with each family/officer for the life of the dog. It's that comfort that keeps people coming back and sending family and friends they care about.
