Q. & A. with Chrissy
Why did you start breeding?
I became an obedience trainer in 2016. I've always loved the German Shepherd Dog and knew that was the breed for me. Not only are they beautiful, but their workability, loyalty and purpose is outstanding.
What makes your program special?
I strive to share the joy the GSD brings me with others. Our dogs here are first & foremost family. We do compete in conformation, obedience & sport. Our goal here at DeFelice GSDs is to produce intelligent, beautiful, stable German Shepherds for work, show and companionship.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include stock 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, black, and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Archer, dad
German Shepherd
About Archer
Meet Archer! Archer is a big, gorgeous boy that turns heads everywhere we go. He has a large head, large bone, rich pigment and is a very well put together dog structurally. He is a "do anything" dog with extreme confidence. He has a beautiful on/off switch. He can move from the show ring to the FastCat line and never misses a beat. He is very handler focused when asked to be, but he has otherwise never met a stranger. He is a male that can be trusted with dogs of all sizes and loves to play with our puppies. His temperament is exceptional for our breed as he is basically just an oversized teddy bear. This guy has it all!

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
DeFelice'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.
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.
DNA Disease Panel, 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).
