I'm Lauren S., the breeder behind Brisingamen Shepherds located in Littleton, CO. I produce pups that have the ability to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one in an active and loving home complementary to their personality and ability.
Q. & A. with Lauren
Why did you start breeding?
My dogs are excellent representations of the breed, and I am proud to continue their line. I breed to help ensure the future of the breed and to improve upon my dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.
What makes your program special?
I take my role seriously. I keep many factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, such as health, temperament, pedigree, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents. I am dedicated to preserving this breed's working ability, and I breed for a versatile dog that can succeed in a variety of fields.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
