Cleveland German Shepherds

Cleveland German Shepherds is a German shepherd dog breeder in Painesville, OH, serving Lake County and northeast Ohio near Cleveland. The kennel participates in American Kennel Club and national breed club events and follows recommended health-testing protocols for hips, elbows, and cardiac screening to promote strong, healthy structure.

Each puppy is raised in a family living room until six weeks, then transitions to a secure, heated kennel with supervised indoor-outdoor runs and regular household socialization. Puppies are introduced to varied surfaces, sounds and basic leash work before moving to new homes, which supports confident temperaments. Breeding selections are based on temperament evaluations and working-line heritage, aiming to produce versatile companions suited for family life, sport or service roles.

Dogs from this program have competed in regional obedience trials and earned rally titles, reflecting a focus on trainability and solid working instincts. Luke Turner provides ongoing support and resources for owners, drawing on years of hands-on experience with the breed.
