Dream Dogs

Samantha A.

Certified Breeder of German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers

Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Dream Dogs located in Winchester, KY. Our puppies are fully vaccinated and microchipped, have been through puppy foundation training, and are available after 16 weeks old. Our puppies have lifetime breeder and training support, and are only available to approved homes. They have AKC limited registration and are not for breeding. All of our puppies have been crate trained, are doing exceptional with potty training, have basic obedience behaviors (sit, come, place, wait), and have been extensively socialized.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Dream Dogs reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Temperament Test

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
