Not All German Shepherds Are Created Equal.
Too many German Shepherds today have health problems, temperament faults or are the wrong fit for children. Some have bad hips and others have way too much energy, making them near impossible to handle. And some people mistake aggression for protection, which is a serious breed fault.
At Sonnenfeld Shepherds, we do things differently. We breed for strong, healthy dogs with steady, reliable temperaments. They are stable and confident without being unpredictably dangerous. They are athletic and in control, smart enough to fit into family life. We carefully breed one litter per year, so you and your puppy get the very best of what a breeder can offer.

Bringing a puppy into your home is such a special time—and I totally relate. You probably have a million questions running through your mind. And, what I can say is: Your journey to find a responsible breeder is worth it. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It's your future best friend. You're putting your heart and your wallet on the line here.
My experience in losing two German Shepherds to known genetic diseases are a big reason why became a breeder myself. I learned from that heartbreak the difference between purebred and well-bred. I have a wonderful mentor who is a canine reproduction expert from Purdue University and whose hospital is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association. Her mentorship helps guide the quality you'll see in our pups.
We're always learning more about the science and art of breeding and will continue to grow as advancements come.
The bottom line is: You deserve the best, and we're here to make sure you get it.
