I'm Cari H., the breeder behind Hall’s Shepherds located in Michie, TN. We feed a raw, meat-and-bone diet, based on the PREY model diet and Victor dog food. We breed strictly for quality and health and hope our clients are looking for that. All of our breeding Shepherds go through appropriate health screening and tests prior to breeding. Our goals for our business are to produce the best examples of the breed within our power and to educate the public on the breed. Thanks for visiting and we hope you enjoy all these adorable photos. We hope you’ll join our awesome GSD/WSD family!
Q. & A. with Cari
Why did you start breeding?
I bought my first cheap BYB GSD puppy and had to suffer the consequences both emotionally and financially. This caused me to want to breed GSDs for the purpose of bettering the breed.
What makes your program special?
We are small but fierce! All of our litter money and more goes back into our dogs by showing and health clearing them. We also give true lifetime daily support and contact with our puppy families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Hall’s 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.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), 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).
