Providing German Shepherds of healthy, well proven lines for work & family needs for almost 30 years, located in western Montana.
It is rare nowadays to find black & tan working German Shepherd dogs with balanced character, high drives, strong/stable natural aggression/protection and tracking ability. To our knowledge, Sapphire Shepherds is the only kennel in North America to offer the genetics of two such outstanding dogs Czar (Balli Panta-Rei ZVV3) & PSDDonner (PSD Iwo vom Rittersring full DDR pre 1986 stock pedigree!) in our breeding program. These proven, highly respected working bloodlines have reliably and consistently produced quality working dogs. We are further privileged to be a kennel that Government Police Dog breeding programs have come to for working genetic purchase; New Zealand Police Dog Breeding Centre & the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Dog Breeding Program. Very few breeders have these honors, especially in North America.
Bloodlines of distinction for the discriminating.
Very lucky to be surrounded by world class German Shepherds in the most beautiful of locations. Penny this morning, watching us irrigate.
The lovely Penny! Granddaughter of our world renown Balli Panta-Rei, daughter of Czar. Her brother & half-brother PSD Pace & PSD Raddix are working to keep the streets safe in CANADA.
Beauty everywhere, inside & out.
In his 13th year now, Xurk still enjoys a daily dip in the creek.
