Bringing a new German Shepherd puppy into your home is exciting, but it all starts with choosing the right breeder. Your choice affects your puppy’s health, temperament, and overall happiness. At Mittelwest German Shepherds, we are passionate about raising exceptional dogs, focusing on their well-being and personality. This guide will help you find a trustworthy breeder and show you why Mittelwest German Shepherds is the best place to find your new companion.
Why It Matters Where You Get Your German Shepherd
German Shepherds are intelligent, loyal, and versatile. They make great family pets, working dogs, and companions. But not all breeders take the same care in raising them. Some prioritize profit, which can lead to health problems and behavioral issues in their dogs. You don’t want that. You want a puppy that’s healthy, well-socialized, and has a great temperament.
At Mittelwest German Shepherds, we do things differently. We focus on producing healthy puppies with strong temperaments. Our goal is to raise friendly, confident, and well-adjusted dogs that thrive in their new homes. When you choose us, you invest in a high-quality companion and support ethical breeding practices that maintain the German Shepherd’s integrity.
What Makes A Good German Shepherd Breeder?
You should look for the following qualities when choosing a breeder:
Health Testing & Genetic Screening
A reputable breeder prioritizes health. At Mittelwest German Shepherds, we take it seriously. Our breeding dogs go through rigorous health screenings and genetic testing to avoid common issues like:
- Hip Dysplasia.
- Elbow Dysplasia.
- Degenerative Myelopathy.
We provide health certificates for both parents, giving you confidence that your new puppy comes from healthy lines. This lessens the risk of inherited health problems and ensures a better quality of life for your dog.
Tip: Ask us for health certificates before making your decision. We gladly share them to ensure your peace of mind.
Experience & Solid Reputation
Experience matters when it comes to breeding German Shepherds. At Mittelwest German Shepherds, we’ve spent years perfecting our breeding practices. We actively participate in breed clubs, competitions, and community events, proving our dedication to maintaining high standards.
Tip: Check out our reviews and testimonials from happy customers. Our positive reputation speaks volumes about our commitment to quality.
Early Socialization
Socialization is critical for a well-rounded German Shepherd. At Mittelwest German Shepherds, we start socializing our puppies from day one. They are exposed to different sounds, environments, and people to help them grow into friendly and confident dogs. This early exposure reduces anxiety and behavioral issues later on.
Tip: Visit our facility and observe how our puppies interact with their surroundings. This will give you a clear view of how well they’ve been socialized.
Meet The Parent Dogs
Meeting the parents helps you understand your puppy’s potential temperament, behavior, and health. At Mittelwest German Shepherds, we invite you to meet the sire and dam. Our parent dogs are friendly, healthy, and well-behaved, setting the standard for their puppies. This visit also lets you see the genetic traits your puppy might inherit.
Tip: Spend time with the parents during your visit. Our German Shepherds are confident, approachable, and calm, reflecting the breed’s ideal temperament.
Clean & Safe Environment
A good breeder maintains a clean, safe, and stimulating environment. At Mittelwest German Shepherds, our facility is spacious and well-maintained. Our puppies have room to play and explore, promoting physical health and mental development. We believe that a positive and clean environment leads to happy, well-adjusted dogs.
Tip: Visit our facility and see our clean spaces, safe play areas, and happy, healthy puppies firsthand.

Our relationship with you doesn’t end once you take your puppy home. Mittelwest German Shepherds provides ongoing support and guidance. Whether you need help with training, nutrition, or general care, we’re here to help. We want our puppies to thrive in their new homes and are committed to being a reliable resource for you.
Tip: Ask us about post-adoption support. We stay in touch and offer help as you and your puppy adjust.
Professional Training For German Shepherds
German Shepherds are intelligent and active, requiring consistent training and mental stimulation. We can recommend experienced trainers who understand the breed’s unique needs. Early training prevents behavioral issues and helps your puppy grow into a well-behaved adult.
