Our first German Shepherd, Bali Von Meadow, was more than a pet, she was the dog who changed everything for our family. The dog who showed us how incredible this breed truly is.

A confident working-line shepherd trained in protection and bite work, yet the gentlest soul raised alongside my children.

When Bali was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), we devoted ourselves to researching, learning, and giving her the absolute best care possible. It was heartbreaking to watch our once-thriving dog become so weak so quickly.

In July 2021, Bali crossed the rainbow bridge. She was 9 years old.

Her journey changed us. It taught us to cherish every training session, every walk, and every quiet moment beside our Shepherds.

Shepherd Haus Design was created in her honor — but it was built for the people who live the Shepherd life every single day.
