Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Owl Grove German Shepherd Dogs located in Seale, AL. Our goal is to ensure every dog that comes from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves our care. We provide each of our pups with lots of socialization and love, and we are dedicated to maintaining responsible breeding policies. All of our adult dogs are hip and elbow tested and have genetic panels completed. We show very successfully in UKC conformation.

Stephanie’s experience

  • What makes Stephanie’s program special

    I take a serious approach to producing dogs of sound body AND mind. Health is the forefront of everything I do. All of our dogs have OFA hips and elbows, have either an Embark or Optimal Selection genetics panel, tested for Pituitary Dwarfism and temperament tested either by GSDCA or through the CGC tiers as we wait for future GSDCA tests. We also show in both AKC and UKC conformation.

More about Stephanie

  • Why Stephanie started breeding

    Once I had the pleasure of owning a German Shepherd Dog with correct, stable temperament, I was done for. If you’ve never experienced the beauty of a correct, healthy GSD who is sound, confident and sharp, you have yet to experience a GSD for what they are. Those who love them should have the opportunity to own and be amazed by a well bred GSD; I want to be the breeder who is able to offer such.

  • 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • 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.

  • Optimal Selection Genetic Disease Analysis (180+ Diseases), Pituitary Dwarfism, 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).
