    Our puppies include stock, plush, and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

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).

    Bonnie was responsive and knowledgeable. She answered any questions I had. You can tell she loves the dogs and takes pride in what she's doing here. We love our Alpha pup!

    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!

    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 cannot say enough how glad we are to have connected with Bonnie from Ewig Krieger Kennels. You can tell how much love and care goes into their dogs. Bonnie was beyond knowledgeable and very thorough when it came to helping us become new puppy parents. We got to see regular updates and truly see our pup grow. Everything went very smoothly from the first connection through GoodDog until pick up. We are absolutely delighted with our little Meeko and forever grateful!
