Scroll down to see a photo collection of our litters at various ages over the many years at Sapphire Shepherds.
It gives you a glimpse of just some of the activities and exposure our pups and young dogs get.
We love our dogs and we love what we’ve been doing for well over 25 years now!

  • Very fortunate my grandchildren live next door!

  • Young pup getting city exposure and different footing surface.

  • A road trip to hike the desert. Great exposure for a group of our pups-young dogs.

  • A little obedience in the city park with one of our young dogs.

  • 8-week-old pup, enjoying the forest before she leaves us. Lovely pup with the fine blood of both Vlad and Xurk of Sapphire Mountain in her 1st and 2nd generation.

  • One of our beloved, very old (15.5 yrs!!) retired broods who produced dogs for Law Enforcement, Search and Rescue and family, greatly enjoys babysitting our young litters while mom gets a break and they get exposed to a change in environment and dogs.

  • A young litter & young kids, always a fun time for all at Sapphire Shepherds!

  • 7-week-old pup.

  • Litter exploring parked haying equipment. Just another busy day on the ranch with our dogs or pups always tagging along!

  • A young pup with mom getting exposure to one of the many different natural obstacles we have in our backyard.

  • Having fun with a young litter of pups during a routine daily outing.

  • Danny hauling a litter back to the barn after an afternoon of exploring the forest & creek with all kinds of different ground cover, noise, smells,.. All our dogs & litters are very fortunate to have the perfect natural environment for our pups to flourish!

  • A litter & mom, spending a day in the house being exposed to all that goes on there.
