Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind J-Lyn Shepherds located in Belton, SC. Over 40 years experience working with this amazing breed! Our dogs come from champion bloodlines. While we have show prospects available, all of our puppies will make excellent family companions! We'd be thrilled to tell you more about what living with a German Shepherd is like & how they will not only enhance your daily life but exceed your expectations!

Linda’s experience

  • What makes Linda’s program special

    The bloodlines we breed to are from some of the top dogs in the country. We choose to breed to the Standard as provided by AKC & the GSDCA to preserve the credibility of our wonderful breed. We also do temperament testing on all our litters and have done so for over 40 yrs with good success with the outcome of the results.
