I'm the breeder behind Coterie Shepherds located in Athol, ID. The loyalty and loving disposition of this breed are simply the best! Co·te·rie : a small group with shared interests or tastes, especially one that is exclusive of others.
About Lynn
I became an owner of German Shepherds because of a loss in my life, little did I know that I would gain so much love and joy by default. In 2019 I purchased my first purebred GSD and quickly became addicted to the breed. Over the last few years, I have learned so much about the breed, joined different training/sporting activities, and filled my life with a few more.
What makes Lynn’s program special
I wouldn't say my program is any more special than any other quality breeder. Most reputable and positive breeding programs will be special in some way, the key is to find the right breeder for you. Find the right dog to share your life with. I would, however, say that my breeding dogs are what would make any potential puppies special.

Why Lynn started breeding
I got into breeding because I feel very passionate about reputable breeding. I purchased all my dogs after a lot of research, not just on a whim to "shop" for a dog. My dogs are more than just dogs to me, they are a continuation of excellent lineage as well as proof that sound breeding practices are important.
