Dakota Shepherds Kennel

Dakota Shepherds Kennel breeds German Shepherd dog in Herrick, SD, Gregory County and southeastern South Dakota near Sioux Falls. The kennel follows recommended hip and elbow evaluations and participates in American Kennel Club programs to support responsible breeding. Each puppy receives age-appropriate vaccinations and parasite prevention backed by a local veterinarian familiar with rural dog health needs. Puppies are raised in a home environment with daily socialization, handling and gradual exposure to livestock and farm life. Breeding stock live on site in a climate-controlled facility and enjoy daily exercise in fenced pastures.

The kennel program draws on multiple generations of working lines selected for stable nerves and reliable trainability. Adults often excel in roles with search and rescue units, service organizations and family companions across the region. Prospective owners can expect clear communication, site visits to their rural facility and detailed guidance on care and early training.
