Born and raised in western Montana, Ramona is drawn to spending as much time as possible outdoors in nature with her dogs. She enjoys what they bring to her everyday life and being able to provide discerning buyers the right German Shepherd for their various needs.
She has a history of certifying and titling dogs in various disciplines from Search and Rescue (SAR) to AKC tracking/agility/….
German Shepherds bred and selected for her clients by Ramona, have been recognized and used globally from families to Government Police Dog Breeding-Training Programs, SAR and IGP3 dogs including a National Competitor and numerous other areas of training and work.
She does not breed for the “extreme” dog, but with the goal of producing balanced litters of healthy pups for various areas of work and experienced family settings.
Personally, Ramona prioritizes her attention/time to the things in life that matter most to her; the love she has for & taking care of her dogs, family, property and having a peaceful, quiet life filled with beauty and love.
Below is a photo collection of animals, family, friend’s, activities and special places that have brought joy over many years…

The registered kennel name of Sapphire Mountain was chosen as Ramona grew up in the foothills of the beautiful Sapphire Mountain range in Montana.
Sapphire is a gemstone associated with royalty. It is believed to attract abundance, blessings, good fortune and gifts. It has been used to protect against negative energies, bring calmness, strength and spiritual clarity.
The below image of Sapphire Shepherds business logo was designed by Ramona. It incorporates her photo of the stunning
Xurk of Sapphire Mountain, a male who is a true work of art inside and out.
