Our Commitment

At Von WestLynn German Shepherds, our commitment is rooted in responsibility, integrity, and an unwavering dedication to the German Shepherd Dog. Breeding is not something we approach casually. Every decision we make is guided by respect for the breed, the dogs we produce, and the families who place their trust in us.

I was raised in the dog world, learning firsthand what ethical breeding truly means. From a young age, I was involved in every aspect of responsible dog ownership—whelping, raising, training, showing, and lifelong care. That foundation instilled in me a deep respect for structure, temperament, health, and the responsibility that comes with producing dogs thoughtfully and intentionally.

German Shepherds are more than just dogs to me, they are partners, protectors, and lifelines. My personal journey with this breed has shaped my understanding of what truly matters: stable temperaments, strong nerves, intelligence, versatility, and sound bodies capable of supporting both work and family life. These qualities are not accidental; they are preserved through careful selection, extensive health testing, and purposeful breeding.

At Von WestLynn, we are committed to:

Preservation breeding 

that honors the German Shepherd Dog’s original purpose

Extensive health testing 

to prioritize longevity and quality of life

Correct structure and sound movement 

for functional, capable dogs

Stable, reliable temperaments 

suitable for work, service, sport, and family environments

Lifetime responsibility 

for every dog we produce

Our dogs are raised in our home, exposed to real-life environments, 

children, and daily routines. We believe that early socialization, proper care, and thoughtful placement are just as important as genetics and titles.

We do not breed for trends, color, or volume. We breed with intention, guided by experience, education, and a genuine love for the breed. Our goal is to produce German Shepherd Dogs that are not only impressive to look at, but dependable, capable, and trustworthy companions, dogs that can confidently transition between serious work and devoted family life.

Von WestLynn German Shepherds exists because of a lifelong passion, a deep respect for where I started, and a commitment to doing right by this incredible breed. This commitment is not temporary, it is a promise to the dogs, to the breed, and to the future.
