How we started

Marty and Julie have owned and operated My BodyGuard Dogs for over 30 years now. Marty grew up with German Shepherd Dogs and later started My BodyGuard Dogs with his wife, Julie. Together, they strive to be a great breeding and training facility. The goal is to produce some of the most sought-after German Shepherd Dogs in the world. In addition, they offer a world class training facility with a wide variety of training options to help owners achieve the perfect companion and/or competition dog.
