I'm Christina F., the breeder behind Fallamhain German Shepherds located in Imperial , MO. We focus on breeding top quality German Shepherds within the standard. We health test, compete and live with our own stock. Our goal is to have a dog that can work but also live with the family. We are proud of what we have produced so far and are excited for the future as well!
Q. & A. with Christina
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased my first working GSD in 2010 and there was no turning back. I titled her in the sport of Schutzhund (now called IGP)I have recognized the value in a reputable breeder who not only titles and health tests the dogs in their program but also chooses only dogs who truly adhere to the breed standard and are looking to better the working breed. Not just produce puppies for pet homes alone.
What makes your program special?
We are dedicated to the working German Shepherd Dog and what the breed has to offer. We do everything it takes in order to produce the best litters and raise healthy, well-rounded puppies. Our German Shepherds make incredible working dogs as well as loving companions. This is more than just a hobby, this is a passion. We care about where each of our puppies go and keep track of them and their owners throughout their lifetime.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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.
Spine (OFA, FCI)
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)
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).
