"Breeding exceptional working line German Shepherds"

Our Story:

Many years ago we fell in love with a sweet German Shepherd named Gunner. For six years he claimed our hearts and became a trusted family member. Suddenly he quit eating, wouldn't drink, and we knew something was wrong. Overbreeding, inbreeding, and lack of care on the part of the breeder left us an unhealthy dog and Gunner succumbed to a ruptured internal cyst. 

Initially, we were hesitant to invest thousands of dollars on a new puppy. Placing a deposit while waiting for a new family member is never easy, especially in a culture where you can get what you want, when you want it. We purchased Axle through a responsible breeder who is of Czech lines and he is an amazing family dog. Loving and protective of the family and children, yet suitable to be around others. He opened our eyes to what careful breeding and selecting high quality genetics can create.

We have since learned that when you do your research, select a responsible breeder, and are willing to wait for a superior puppy, you avoid common plagues of the German Shepherd breed. You end up with a dog that is stable, capable, and will give you many years!

Poor genetics, unstable dogs, and regret, are all things that can ruin the ownership experience. While only God can truly see the outcome, our mission is to responsibly breed puppies with exceptional genetics, capable of any task.

Careful selection and consideration ensures our puppies are capable in the many different roles to include service, sport, personal protection, or family member.

Three Bar Shepherds appreciates your consideration and promises to deliver an exceptional puppy.
