Meet the breeder

I'm Tim F., the breeder behind Combat Creek German Shepherds located in Barnhart, MO. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. We strive to provide each of our puppies and their families with a truly positive experience!

Q. & A. with Tim

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Three years ago we bred Bullmastiffs, after losing our female we decided that chapter had closed for us. After a year or so our family decided we wanted to get another family pet and we decided on our boy Ripley. It was the best decision we ever made because of his temperament, loyalty and love for our children. He is much more than just our pet, he is our boy and part of our family. Ripley is a beautiful old fashion straight back long coat GSD who has passed his Embark testing as well as OFA, because of this we decided to give breeding another go round.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and black and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Tim is absolutely wonderful and excellent German Shepherd owner and breeder! His knowledge on these magnificent dogs is impeccable and he is such a huge resource! I bought a female eight weeks old German shepherd puppy and everything I needed to prepare I had! We will and are planning on using Tim as a resource when we need questions answered and we will keep updating Tim on how the puppy is doing and adapting!

    Tim was very personable and easy to correspond with. He shared regular updates, pictures, and veterinary information on our puppy. Our sweet girl is perfect, and I’m so glad we found our Shadow ❤️. I would recommend Combat Creek German Shepherds to anyone considering a German shepherd puppy.

    Tim and Arah of Combat Creek German Shepherds were fantastic to work with. Our adoption process through Good Dog was easy and pleasant. Kareen and I are thrilled with our sweet, beautiful, affectionate Keea girl. Tim and Arah certainly instilled us with confidence that we chose the best breeder. Our communications were prompt, concise and informative. Meeting both of them prior to picking up Keea assured us that we would be receiving a healthy, well socialized and loved pup. Their expertise in breeding along with their family-oriented nurturing will surely give all of their puppies the behavioral traits that all pet owner's desire. Randy, Kareen and Keea
