Gamber Australian Shepherds
- East Lansing, MI
Meet the breeder
I'm Cheryl G., the breeder behind Gamber Australian Shepherds located in East Lansing, MI. All puppies have parents who are cleared by OFA for hips and elbows, have current CERF exams, and have complete Australian Shepherd DNA panels. We breed for ourselves first, we do not have litters very often. We strive for correct conformation and temperament for show and also athleticism for performance. Our dogs are our family pets, we do not have a kennel.

We met Cheryl with our puppy and the puppy’s mother and grandmother. It was clear they were all well cared for and healthy dogs. Cheryl provided all the information we needed and gave us pointers on care for our new dog. The entire process was smooth and encouraging.
