Our goal at masters creek is to breed a beautiful sweet loving dog
the
whole family will enjoy for many years. Our German Shepherd program has
been a blessing from the first litter of puppies through today. Gabriel is the
sire of all of our dogs and he was truly a gift from God, he has been the best friend
and sire of hundreds of dogs through out the usa. People today are writing us
about a dog they had purchased 5 years ago and want a second or third dog
because they see what remarkable pets these dogs have grown to be. Gabriel has shown many
families and children around our farm. He has been the light that shines from our
home to yours. We pray that all the puppies will go to wonderful
homes and it has been so.

Our
history and love for the horses we raise - We have always had a special love for horses and Dogs.
As children we were both raised in
the city where having a horse was an impossibility. Our love for
these animals continued to grow as we grew. At a young age near Chicago, Joe took a job
at a boarding stable cleaning stalls, feeding horses any odd job he could find, just to be near the horses.
He had a natural love for these wonderful animals. While at the same young age near Los Angeles
California was a riding stable, I
myself was scurrying to find odd jobs, baby sitting, paper routes, cleaning
houses just to save enough money for my weekly horse back riding lessons.
No matter how hopeless it seemed at the beginning of the week I always had
enough at the end of the week to pay for that weeks lesson. I could hardly wash
my hands after my lesson , I wanted that smell of those beautiful horses
to carry over until my next riding lesson. As things happen in
life, we grew up to be adults so came having responsibilities. Having
horses was now put further and further back in the list of priorities. Yet it
was always on our minds when we thought of something pleasant or when we would
see riders along the roadsides proud on their mounts. Joe started raising
horses when he moved away from the city as an adult in his mid to upper 30s.
Although I never had the opportunity to raise horses about the same age as Joe I
had moved from the city and purchased a few smaller horses for my children to
grow up with. .
Our
goal at masters creek is to breed a beautiful calm gaited colored
Appaloosa or Walkaloosa for all ages to ride. Why gaited? Gaited
horses are naturally easier to ride. The movement of a gaited
horse lets the rider enjoy a smooth balanced ride with each
and every step. No bounce, no back aches, no arched necks or sore
muscles. See the below article on the smooth gaits.
The color of the appaloosa has always been a favorite for us. Each
Appaloosa marking so unique in pattern and color you are
guaranteed to never get the same markings twice. Each birth is a
true work of art. Not one being exact as the other. It has been
stated in history that the appaloosa had the Indian shuffle gait
yet with the different out crossings over time it became almost
extinct to the breed. Yet from time to time you see a foal
exhibiting this natural shuffle along side her out crossed mother
and know the natural gait of this breed that was, still is. We at
Masters Creek Appaloosas are trying to preserve and breed for that
wonderful gait almost lost to its breed
