DCAN's German Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Deeda D., the breeder behind DCAN's German Shepherds located in Raleigh, NC. I am a small hobby breeder and usually have one or two litters a year. Through the years I have bred several AKC Champions, some titled obedience dogs, and many, many happy beloved pets.
Q. & A. with Deeda
What makes your program special?
The bloodlines I use are 100% American lines. They are usually black & tan, large boned, plush coated pups. The parents are always OFA certified and sound in every way. I offer a one year written guarantee and free advice for the life of the dog. I do screen my buyers and often ask for references. Pups are reasonably priced and I do accept deposits, but only after the female is confirmed pregnant.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Great level
DCAN's German Shepherds 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.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
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).
