Guardyan Kennels

 Our Goal

Our goal is to raise future ambassadors for the German Shepherd breed.  We believe a German Shepherd should be healthy, confident and stable.  He should be highly intelligent and trainable, and should have the drive and focus to perform almost any task.  A German Shepherd should be loyal and dedicated to his family.  He should be gentle with children, yet protective if the occasion arises.  We strive to produce puppies with all of these characteristics in a sound, structurally balanced body.  

Our Breeding Program

Our breeding program is based on proven, solid genetics.  We utilize top German bloodlines known for producing good hips, even temperaments, and high trainability.  All of our breeding females have been formally temperament tested, hip certified, and titled in a working endeavor such as schutzhund.   

Since we have a small, selective breeding program, our German Shepherds enjoy their lives as family dogs.  They spend most of their time with our family, not locked in a kennel.  We are actively involved in agility, herding, obedience, tracking, and German style conformation.  We are proud to be affiliated with the United Schutzhund Clubs of America, the Upper Snake River Valley Dog Training club, and the East Idaho Stock Dog Association, as well as the German Shepherd Dog Club of America (GSDCA and GSDCA-WDA).  We have signed the German Shepherd Dog Club of America's Breeder's Code of Ethics.

We typically produce only one or two litters a year.  This allows us to provide every puppy with a solid start in life.  Please visit our puppies page for additional information about how we raise and socialize our puppies.
