Our Story
Our Puppy Love Story
805 K9s was founded by Abel Contreras, a passionate and experienced breeder based in California. What began as a deep respect for the German Shepherd breed has grown into a lifelong mission to raise exceptional puppies with strong minds, sound structure, and loving temperaments.
Our breeding program is built on quality, not quantity. We thoughtfully select every pairing to produce well-rounded dogs that excel in a variety of roles—from loyal family companions to service and working dogs. Each puppy is raised in a structured, home environment and receives early socialization to build confidence, calmness, and responsiveness.
At 805 K9s, we proudly serve families, working dog handlers, and German Shepherd lovers who are looking for more than just a pet. When you choose one of our puppies, you’re gaining a dedicated partner—and lifelong support from breeders who genuinely care.
Our Mission & Values
Our mission is to raise confident, intelligent German Shepherds that embody the best traits of the breed. From health and temperament to trainability and drive, we’re committed to producing dogs who thrive in the right homes.
We believe in doing things the right way: with care, clarity, and consistency. Our values are simple but strong—integrity in everything we do, transparency with every client, and deep respect for the dogs we raise. We take pride in building lasting relationships with our families and being a trusted source of guidance long after your puppy comes home.

We closely monitor each puppy’s development to support their health, personality, and readiness for their next home.
