SIOBAHN GERMAN SHEPHERDS

WHAT WE DO

Currently Available to experienced owners only

We were recently looking for a new home for a lovely young male and are very pleased to advise that Solo has found his forever place with a great young family.

We are still looking for an outstanding home for a 2 year old, desexed female, who was initially placed as having show potential. However, due to the recent pandemic, shows have been scarce and a decision has been taken that with the uncertain future, this lovely young girl will be better served in a home of her own. It will need to be a single dog home and one where she can be the centre of attention. She adores cuddles and would thrive where she was the apple of her owner's eye. The welfare of the dog must come first, so she would be ideally suited to a family that is active, has time to spend with her and understands the German Shepherd Dog. It must be a forever home with the resources to meet their needs.

She has been raised in a rural environment and will need a little time to adjust to new surroundings.

She is a loving, intelligent dog that should bring a lifetime of companionship and pleasure to their owners.

If you are genuinely interested, please send your contact details and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Our Dogs

Whilst some of our dogs are in the show ring and are bred, they are first and foremost, our pets.

Our dogs stay with us for life and are family members.

Let us introduce them to you.

Things to consider

Please make sure you are ready to provide a loving home for life and the care and attention required to raise a German Shepherd well.

Responsible pet ownership is key and it is important our puppies go to loving, committed homes. Our dogs deserve nothing less.

ABOUT US

In 1991 we acquired our first German Shepherd dog, a long coat called Quartorze Dallas.

The journey since then has been one of absolute joy and pleasure, tinged with the sadness of loss every time one of our beautiful animals passes.

We were led to breed our dogs because, knowing the privilege of ownership and remarkable bond we had enjoyed with this breed, we wanted others to experience what we treasured. We have now come full circle and only breed long stock coat GSDs now.

Our goal in breeding has always been for soundness, temperament and to produce a dog that others come to believe is the best dog ever. To quote an unknown author:

“Let’s not measure the success of a breeder by the amount of winning their dogs do in the show ring, but by the number of dogs that stay with the family that purchased them as a pup and die in the arms of that same family years later. In that case we have three winners : the breeder, the family and most importantly, the dog”

WHAT A GERMAN
SHEPHERD

NEEDS

Whilst there are always exceptions, the German Shepherd breed lives between 10 and 12 years on average. And assuming they remain healthy, active dogs, throughout their life, your dog will require:

TIME with you and other family members
PATIENCE & LOVE that will let them learn
REGULAR EXERCISE appropriate to their needs
POSITIVE MENTAL ACTIVITY to stave off boredom
QUALITY FOOD & HEALTH CARE throughout their life
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT to call home
SOCIALISATION & TRAINING that ensures they grow to be a positive ambassador for their breed and a credit to you, their owner.

Because they are so intelligent, they will test you at every life stage and they will rely on you to provide guidance, control and a stimulating and loving home.

Making a decision to purchase a German Shepherd now is a contract between yourself and your pet committing to being there for themthroughout every life stage. If you are not reasonably confident that this will be the case, please do not consider a Siobahn puppy.
