Meet the breeder

I'm Jennifer F., the breeder behind Haus-Farr German Shepherds located in Ramsey, IL. My dogs are part of the family, are well socialized with kids and handled twice daily. I breed healthy and structurally correct puppies with sound temperaments and social skills. They all experience ENS and sound desensitization from an early age. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's forever companion.

Q. & A. with Jennifer

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My husband purchased my first breeding-age female for Mother's Day, and my program and education of the breed have blossomed from then on. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.

  • What makes your program special?

    I have a love and passion for what I do and my reward is getting to meet all of the lovely new families that purchase my puppies. Since I am a stay-at-home mom I get to spend countless hours a day with each litter handling and socializing them to prepare them for their new homes. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, and cuteness and love are guaranteed.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include plush and stock coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, black, bi-color, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Jennifer at Haus-Farr German Shepherds. From start to finish, the entire process of getting our German Shepherd, Jack, was absolutely incredible. Jennifer was so responsive, kind, and genuinely cared every step of the way. She answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly and made the experience feel exciting and stress-free. She even went above and beyond by helping me find the person/company to transport Jack safely from Illinois to Arizona, which I was so grateful for. That level of care truly speaks volumes about how much she loves her dogs and her clients. Jack is everything we could have hoped for and more. He is the sweetest dog with an amazing temperament, stunning coat, and gorgeous coloring. You can tell he was raised with love and intention. We are so in love with him. I highly recommend Jennifer and Haus Farr German Shepherds to anyone looking for an exceptional breeder and an outstanding experience. I would 100% do this all over again. 🐾💙

    We recently got our girl and she is absolutely the best addition to our family! She is getting along great with our three kids and our 5 year old Mini Aussie. She has taken interest in the cats as well. You can tell she has been handled with love prior to getting her, she has been sweet and playful from the start! Two weeks worth of potty training and she has learned to ring the bell to go outside! Such a smart girl!

    Jennifer was extremely quick to respond and answered all the questions we had. She was honest about the personalities of the pups and which ones would be a good fit for our needs. Our girl’s personality was exactly as she described her to be and we’ve been SO pleased with her temperament - so sweet and loves people.

    We had the absolute best experience with Jennifer and Haus-Farr. Her constant communication throughout the entire process was very helpful and reassuring. She answered all of our questions and sent pictures while we waited to pick up our girl. Payment was a smooth and secure process and I did not have any concerns throughout. Our puppy has the absolute best temperament, is super smart and has an incredible coat already. She immediately knew what to do at bedtime when it was time to go into her crate and the transition into our family has been absolutely seamless. I love that the puppies are exposed early to sounds and to children and you can completely see her excitement whenever she sees our kids or another. Our vet was overjoyed by her and gave her a perfect bill of health. Our Aria has been a complete joy and the perfect addition to our family. I highly recommend Jennifer!

    It was a true blessing to have found our beautiful puppy Micah with Jennifer Farr. She was very responsive and we could tell how much love she put into raising our girl. We enjoyed the updates and to watch her grow until she came home!!!

    We are so lucky to have found Jennifer. Jennifer was very honest about the puppies personalities, and what dog would be the best fit for our household. She was always very kind and answered all of mine and my wife’s questions almost immediately.  We couldn’t be happier with the puppy we adopted. She was pretty much fully crate trained and has only had a few accidents in the house. We highly recommend Jennifer, and have been raving about her whenever someone asks where we adopted our pup from.
