Lisa’s experience

  • About Lisa

    I have always been an animal lover. I grew up around dogs, cats and as I got older bunnies, chickens, etc. I got my first rescue long-haired German Shepherd 9 years ago and my love for the breed grows daily. I’m constantly researching and learning about the breed. I really enjoy training them and their smarts never cease to amaze me.

  • What makes Lisa’s program special

    My dogs live as part of my family and are family dogs before breeding dogs. I breed for the pleasure of making families happy. I only have one breeding pair. Down the line, I’d like to expand a little bit but only to the point, I can physically manage. Where they can still live as part of my family and all get individual attention.

More about Lisa

  • Why Lisa started breeding

    Eleven years ago we lost our German Shepherd to a spleen tumor and my father was lost without his girl. So I went nuts looking for a puppy, found a breeder. The puppies smelled, were dirty but we still picked our girl. For two years things were great and then her health went downhill from there. I decided I wanted to breed healthy dogs so someone else didn’t go through what we did.

  • 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.

  • 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).
