Q. & A. with Yvonne
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding and raising animals is something I’ve been passionate about since childhood.
What makes your program special?
We don’t breed often due the time and commitment each litter takes and we put our whole heart into each litter. After careful planning, this is our first litter in several years.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include stock, plush, and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, bi-color, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Dakota
Dakota comes from service dog bloodlines. Her mother continues to work as a service dog. Her father’s side are imported White Swiss Shepherds from Europe. She is a lower drive dog. She has her CGC/CGCA. Very smart, obedient, and loves to cuddle. She is extremely dog neutral/non-reactive, social with other animals, people and good with kids. Perfect for families and those who are interested in service animal/medical alert, or a travel companion that is loyal and ready to try anything. She is extremely athletic and would be fun for weekend sports as well.
Davis Farm reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Temperament Test
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Hyperuricosuria (HUU), Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII ARSB), German Shepherd Dog Type
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
