Meet the breeder

I'm Bonnie Z., the breeder behind Ewig Krieger Kennels located in Lewistown, MO. Our pups are from top West German Show Lines with multiple World Sieger Champions in their Pedigrees. They are highly intelligent with outgoing, sweet temperaments. Our dogs are PTSD Service trained & produce highly intelligent, focused pups, perfect for service work or just loving family pets.

Q. & A. with Bonnie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Training PTSD Service dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    Because our primary focus is to produce high-quality GSDs that have the potential to become service dogs or other working uses, intelligence and temperament are definitely a focal point of our breeding program. We always ensure we adhere to breed standards in order to promote exceptional quality, health, and temperament.
  • 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 are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Bonnie

Bonnie has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Bonnie partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape.

“We begin matching puppies at approximately 5 weeks old, once their individual temperaments, personalities, and characteristics are easier to observe. Families choose their puppy based on their position on our waitlist, which is determined by the order deposits are received. While buyers are able to make their own selection when it is their turn, we provide guidance throughout the process by sharing our observations of each puppy’s temperament, confidence, energy level, engagement, and overall personality. Our goal is to help each family choose the puppy that best fits their home, lifestyle, goals, and experience level, whether they are looking for a family companion, active lifestyle dog, obedience prospect, or service-oriented prospect.”

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Ewig Krieger Kennels 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.

  • Canine Good Citizen (CGC), 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 Coat/Trait 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).

    Hi Bonnie! Things are going well and challenging. Our pup ended up with the name of Dude. He is very social and thinks everyone is his friend, very nice temperament. He is sitting on command and he/we are figuring out the potty training. He’s been around 3 cats and that went well and our daughter’s 16month old Shepard. He loves playing and wrestling!! He travels really well, put him in his crate and off to sleep he goes. Hope that continues!! He weighs 21lbs now! Glad our daughter found your kennel online. It was an easy process and you kept us in the loop from deposit to pick up!! We loved the pics and videos along the way! Thank you!!

    I’m not sure people realize how difficult it is to find a good breeder. We feel really lucky to have discovered Bonnie & Bill's Ewig Krieger Kennels. We wanted a healthy and confident puppy with the black and red/tan coloring. It was a bonus that they breed for the temperament for service work. They answered our many questions and responded in a timely manner. We could really tell they care about their dogs and breeding responsibly. They let us meet all their dogs and were open to us coming back to visit any time. After only a couple days we can tell he is a smart one and will be a joy. I'm pretty sure we will be heading back to Ewig Krieger in a couple years to pick out a sister for our Monty.

    Working with Bonnie has been such an amazing experience. She was right there every step of the way with all the questions I had. She would respond right away, and you can tell she truly loves and cares about her dogs. I wanted to find a reputable breeder, and Bonnie was that and more. I got to pick out Shiloh and he is such a great puppy. He loves to play in the water and loves snuggles. Our family loves him and I would definitely recommend anyone looking to get a German shepherd puppy to get one from Bonnie.

    We were nervous getting a dog through Good Dog, fearful of puppy mills, or unethical practices. Seeing a Veteran owned business was the first thing that got me interested, but Bonnie eased our fears instantly, was extremely responsive to my numerous questions, and put up with my constant requests for updated pictures. When finally our pickup day came up, both Bonnie and Bill were so welcoming made the drive there with it. Lilly, has quickly adapted to our new home, and from a old man that finds little to smile about, my goodness our beautiful little girl has bring nothing but. We would and more than likely will seek a playmate from Ewig, in future litters, hopefully from a litter Ares makes happen, the most amazing looking GSD I have ever seen. Thanks Bonnie and Bill, for making our family complete, for now, until you get to put up with me on our next addition.

    Ewig Krieger Kennels was a fantastic experience! Bonnie was very informative and filled us in with all the important information that we would need to bring Duchess home and guide through the steps needed with her vet care for her puppy needs. While there to pick up Duchess Bonnie introduced us to the Mother and Father and we very much appreciated that. Their temperament was very calm and Momma Dog was very protective as she should be. Duchie is an awesome pup. She has her puppy things that will all get worked out with traing and age. We look forward to spending her life with her and sharing many memories. Thank You Bonnie!
