Testimonials

Hi Dean,
Just wanted to thank you for helping me pick such a fantastic dog. Caesar (Grizzly von Shiphra), has got an amazing combination of pedigree, nerves, intelligences, temperament and superb potential for Schutzhund training. This is one exceptional dog. Great with my 3 and 5 year old kids who love him to death. My dog trainer can’t stop singing the praises of this dog and its abilities and potential and he has seen and trained plenty of dogs. Not only that but he is so gorgeous he is the centre of attention wherever he goes. Everyone compliments on what a beautiful shepherd he is. Next question is always where I got him from and I always mention Shiphra Shepherds and highly recommend you guys. The attached picture was taken after a particular exceptional training session. I am one proud owner !
Thanks again,

Was so excited to meet what we are calling “Titan” last night. He walked into the house and we knew he was a perfect fit. Our twins had a blast playing with him this morning, I’m pretty sure he thinks that they are puppies too lol, but was not aggressive or overbearing in the least. Our older dog doesn’t quite know what to think, he has pretty much kept to himself and pouted in his bed since the arrival other then when we took them out for a walk last night. But I am sure that he will come around. He did great in the crate last night didn’t whine just went in, went to sleep and howled once at 4 am to go pee. Cannot thank you enough for making sure we got the right fit for our family.
Talk to you soon

Excellent facility! I have been to dog kennels before, and have mild experience with dogs for a comparison. Dean took the extra time out of his busy day to show me where the dogs and pups stay. He went well beyond what most breeders/trainers do, by giving an informative tour (by appointment) of his facility. I noted the grounds are extensive for the dogs, with lots of room to play, and a climate controlled indoor area is provided for their comfort. The grounds are very clean, the dogs on top of being gorgeous are clean, they did not engage in any fearful behaviour around him, were happy to see him, and went to him to be touched. His dedication to his dogs, job, and facility is very apparent; Dean has a passion for his work. Thank you Dean for an amazing dog breeder experience, I can’t wait to see your upcoming litters.

I can not speak highly enough of Shiphra Shepherds. Dean was amazing every step of our journey. He helped us choose the right dog for our family, and is there for support with whatever we need. We could not be happier with our new puppy. She is smart, gentle natured, and beautiful. Thanks Dean.

What can i say about Shiphra Shepherds? Too many good things but ill sum it up real quick! Dean was amazing every step of the way. He showed he truly cared about what the customer wants and was prompt on returning any emails or calls! He truly is an amazing man he deals with multiple clients daily and still has the time to take care of each client individually on a personal level. He doesn’t just sell the dog to you, he gets to know who you are and and that to me is an amazing experience! He keeps his customers updated constantly about their puppy or any other relevant information. The dogs are absolute top quality! they are from an amazing bloodline that can definitely be trusted and relied upon. The dog’s that come from this breeder have top notch genetics! Furthermore Dean helps his customers out with any questions they may have whether it be regarding the breed or anything related to training a new puppy. He truly cares about his customers and his dogs! Overall dean is the best breeder i have ever dealt with and i highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a prestigious German shepherd with amazing healthy genetics. You truly get beautiful dogs from this guy! Thanks Dean!

Hi Dean… just wanted to say that Diesel (Echo) has settled in and doing very well. He is very smart and was sitting within a day, the within 2 days is shaking paw. He walks right by your side on the leash and is clearly very proud of himself. We just adore him and thankful to have him with us.

Bought a dog from these guys and let me tell you. Stellar experience! From Start to finish and still in the private facebook group he has. 24/7 help and messaging. The breeder is always there to help with tips, advice, training etc…. There is no other breeder that matches up and I did 4 months of research before buying. The Dogs are amazing and the guarantee is 5 years. We chat and talk to all the customers of the puppies and get to see their pictures, it is my new favorite hobby on facebook. The only reason I still use facebook in fact!

~ Tom Mistretta

I will never purchase another dog from anyone but Dean. He has been nothing but helpful with me and my dog. I can contact him with any issues/concerns or just a good news story at anytime of the day. Beautiful dogs and a breeder who knows the German shepherd breed better than anyone!
