Auf der Marquis German Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Leslie M., the breeder behind Auf der Marquis German Shepherds located in Allegan, MI. We offer Balanced Working Line German Shepherds suitable for work and family. Our main priority is providing people with that special one in a lifetime dog, through a puppy, adult dog or training for the one you already have.
Q. & A. with Leslie
Why did you start breeding?
As a child, I had German Shepherds. As an adult, I found a love of the Australian Cattle Dog and worked with rescue dogs in training and rehabilitation. I did research on health testing and conformation. I bought a male and a female and got his AKC championship. This was the foundation of my small breeding program with a great emphasis on Health testing and sound temperament. I raised ACDs for about seven years and are very proud of the puppies I produced.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
