Joseph Ray

Joseph Ray raises German shepherd dogs in Saluda, SC, in the Midlands region near Columbia. With more than a decade of experience, he is a member of national breed clubs and performs regular hip and elbow evaluations for every litter.

Pups are socialized indoors and out, learn basic routines alongside adult dogs, and spend their early weeks in a home environment with access to large, fenced yards. Ray Ranch roots give the dogs exposure to livestock herding exercises and varied terrain familiarization. He emphasizes clear communication and uses positive reinforcement to encourage confidence and healthy bonds.

Family comments highlight his prompt responses and the early temperament testing that helps match each puppy to a fitting home environment. He offers a health guarantee backed by veterinary checks at set milestones and shares lineage information for transparency. Several owners have praised the dogs’ steady temperaments and adaptability to both household companionship and working roles.
