Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Haus Der Valkyrie German Shepherds located in Union Star, MO. My German Shepherds are direct imports and AKC and FCI registered. I believe in improving the health of the breed and test my dogs prior to breeding. They are tested for hips, elbows and DNA. All of my puppies have Embark genetic testing panels completed as well. My goal is to produce the healthiest puppies possible using the scientific tools available.

Monica’s experience

  • About Monica

    I love the German Shepherd breed. My girl is part of the family and it is extremely important to me that she and her puppies are healthy, well-tempered companions. I am a bit of a science nerd and love to dig into the genetic information available these days through Embark testing.

  • What makes Monica’s program special

    I am committed to using science to help maintain the amazing German Shepherd breed and health test both my dogs and the puppies I produce. This testing combined with early socialization and training using the Puppy Culture method gives my dogs a great foundation for success with their forever homes.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Haus Der Valkyrie German Shepherds 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.

  • Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII ARSB), German Shepherd Dog Type, Hyperuricosuria (HUU), Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), 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).
