Top 10 Best German Shepherd Breeders in Missouri (MO)

If you are looking for a German Shepherd then you are looking for a protective, lovable, and devoted companion. This breed is by far one of the most versatile breeds that are great family dogs, agile sport dogs, or calm therapy dogs. No doubt no matter what life your pup is destined for there will be no shortcomings in their loyal personalities.

Getting a German Shepherd Puppy is no quick choice but in this blog, you will find a list of reputable breeders who has that special pup waiting for your family. Here there are ten German Shepherd Breeders in Missouri. This list is to help you determine the breeder you would like to go through but remember to always talk to them and make sure you know what you want from the breeder and the bloodline before getting a puppy.

1. Vom Waldenhaus German Shepherds

First up on the list is Vom Waldenhaus German Shepherds, a family-run operation dedicated to the health and betterment of the dogs and puppies they breed. Since 1976 the Forrest family has selectively bred their dogs to get a bloodline of sound-minded and well-structured dogs. With a long list of imported West German Show Line dogs used as the foundation of their bloodline, you will find puppies with few, if none, of the breed debilitating diseases such as Hip and Elbow Dysplasia and DM (Degenerative Myelopathy). The selectivity of the stock in the family’s bloodline makes for a strong set of genetics for the old breeding standard.

When taking care of the puppies they come with AKC registration, health guarantees, vaccines, and a comprehensive warranty. To ensure the best outcome for your puppy they keep them until ten weeks of age to provide proper socialization and to minimize the stress the puppies receive during transit or when they are first left alone at their new homes. This extra time gives the Forrest family the time to go a little further and ensure another, if not the last, round of puppy shots, starting on crate training, and potty training.

While the puppy’s genetics are great, the sires and dams are all bred by the family and imports are hand-picked with lots of testing and consideration before being brought into the program. They breed a specific set of genetics that gives their German Shepherds strong bones, sound minds, great temperaments, a willingness to please, natural protective instincts, and a mild drive for a total all-around family dog. The dogs you get from them are not going to be high-drive dogs with a strong bite, but good all-around dogs for the family that can work well in obedience, search, rescue, or therapy dogs.

With such a specific selection for breeding, most of their dogs are black and red in color. And for 25 years have had no exposure to fleas on the property removing any chance of illness caused by them. You can be certain if you get a puppy from them they will be up to date on all health checks, vaccines, microchipped, and AKC registered.

They have taken care to choose specific dogs from the West German Show and Working lines, American Show Line, and from their own carefully developed bloodline to provide you with the best pups possible.

My Top Pick

With this list, I would decide to look further into the Fallamhain Working German Shepherds breeder and trainer as they have proven theirs and their dogs’ abilities with several high-ranked titles and provide good warranties and health guarantees. Their goals for the pups in their care and the diligence they take with their health and placement appear to better help an established owner continue learning with their pup.

They give a good understanding of their dogs and what they have earned without pushing the titles to press their knowledge onto clients. They show their devotion to their dogs with the offered lifetime support and training packages they sponsor for clients who purchase a puppy from them. From these first findings on the website, they appear to have the best interest of the future of the dog and client in mind when helping you along the way.

But always make sure to do your own research into the puppy that would be best suited for you, don’t make your opinion based solely on the brief overviews of each breeder. Your needs are different from every other person, so not every breeder is going to work for your desired dog. Just remember to always look for a reputable breeder who holds the dogs and puppies in their kennel to the ideas that best suit you and discuss what you both see for the future of the puppies.
