SIOBAHN GERMAN SHEPHERDS
What we do
Moving Forward
Leyla’s litter in 2023 has been so beautiful, that we will breed GSDs one last time in 2024. We have the right dog selected and these will all be long coat puppies.
For Siobahn Kennels the concern has always been two fold – that the puppies we produce have the type and temperament that ensures they bring pleasure and confidence to those who own them and that the homes we select are the ones that will see our puppy grow, thrive and remain for life.
These puppies will only be placed with those who we believe will provide the quality life for their dog that we expect. It will be a lifetime commitment from those we select to take our puppy.
If you genuinely believe that yours is the best possible home for one of these puppies, please make contact by phone or email to register an interest in this litter.
Our Dogs
Whilst some of our dogs are in the show ring and are bred, they are first and foremost, our pets.
Our dogs stay with us for life and are family members.
Things to consider
Responsible pet ownership is key and it is important our puppies go to loving, committed homes.
Our dogs deserve nothing less.
About us
In 1991 we acquired our first German Shepherd dog, a long coat called Quartorze Dallas.
The journey since then has been one of absolute joy and pleasure, tinged with the sadness of loss every time one of our beautiful animals passes.
We were led to breed our dogs because, knowing the privilege of ownership and remarkable bond we had enjoyed with this breed, we wanted others to experience what we treasured. We have now come full circle and only breed long stock coat GSDs now.
Our goal in breeding has always been for soundness, temperament and to produce a dog that others come to believe is the best dog ever. To quote an unknown author:
“Let’s not measure the success of a breeder by the amount of winning their dogs do in the show ring, but by the number of dogs that stay with the family that purchased them as a pup and die in the arms of that same family years later. In that case we have three winners : the breeder, the family and most importantly, the dog”
What a German Shepherd needs
Whilst there are always exceptions, the German Shepherd breed lives between 10 and 12 years on average. And assuming they remain healthy, active dogs, throughout their life, your dog will require:
- TIME with you and other family members
- PATIENCE & LOVE that will let them learn
- REGULAR EXERCISE appropriate to their needs
- POSITIVE MENTAL ACTIVITY to stave off boredom
- QUALITY FOOD & HEALTH CARE throughout their life
- A SAFE ENVIRONMENT to call home
- SOCIALISATION & TRAINING that ensures they grow to be a positive ambassador for their breed and a credit to you, their owner.
Because they are so intelligent, they will test you at every life stage and they will rely on you to provide guidance, control and a stimulating and loving home.
Making a decision to purchase a German Shepherd now is a contract between yourself and your pet committing to being there for themthroughout every life stage. If you are not reasonably confident that this will be the case, please do not consider a Siobahn puppy.
