Patchwork Shepherds

Here at Patchwork Shepherds our main goal is to provide families with the "perfect" pet. We want to give people a dog that not only can be a great family companion but could also compete in the show ring, herding, working and/or obedience ring. All of our dogs come from titled working dogs. Although we do not do SchH work with our dogs, because that is not what we like to do, they do have the ability to do it. We focus our attention on breeding dogs that make amazing family companions and that are loving and easy to train along with having supreme beauty.

Many people think that because we do not do actual SchH work with our dogs then they should not be bred but I disagree with that. I have met MANY MANY SchH titled dogs that do NOT make good pets. The majority of people out there want a good pet and if their dog does not turn out that way then what happens to the dog? Many of those over the top working drive dogs end up in pounds or end up as a risk factor for people because they have not had the training they need.
Here we try to raise beautiful dogs with sound temperaments. Our dogs all are well socialized with kids and other animals. You can also view any of our mothers with their puppies and none of our dogs are going to be aggressive in any way but they will still protect if we are not around. I believe that the most important thing to look at when deciding to breed a dog is temperament. Never compromise on that at all. The most beautiful dog in the world with a bad temperament doesn't make a good pet and doesn't make any family happy.

Here are Patchwork Shepherds we prefer to breed import lined dogs that conform to the original SV standard. The breed was originally created in Germany not the USA and we do not believe that many AKC american lined dogs adhere to that. We prefer a thicker, stouter dog with straighter backs and correct angles. So, for that reason all of our dogs that we own are either imported or are import lined.
By the time that a puppy is 8 weeks old and ready to go to its new home it will have had at least 1 worming and 1st shots as well as a vet check. All of our puppies also come with a full puppy packet with information on everything relating to what food it is on to pictures of parents and grandparents.
