Meet the breeder

I'm Scott C., the breeder behind Inferno Shepherds located in Rice Lake, WI. We put a lot of time and care into dogs as well as our puppies from the moment they’re born. We love our dogs and are passionate about raising them to become the best family members possible. All of our dogs and puppies are members of the family.

Q. & A. with Scott

Why did you start breeding?
My wife always wanted to return to breeding. She finally had the opportunity and time when our youngest went to college. Through her passion I learned to love all aspects as well. My wife was injured and no longer able to work with the dogs full time. She was devastated thinking she would have to give up her passion but I was able to step into the role allowing continuation on a smaller scale.
What makes your program special?
The puppies are exposed to many environments; quiet, loud sounds, sharp bangs, TV's, radios, vacuums, other animals, stairs, surfaces, car rides, leashes, beginning potty training and kids of various ages. We also do ENS with all puppies from 3-14 days. The puppies come with prepaid AKC papers, health guarantee and lifetime buyer support. We offer personalized delivery at very reasonable rates.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Excellent level

Inferno 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 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.
Full Embark Panel, DNA Coat/Trait Panel, Canine Scott Syndrome (CSS), Animal Genetics Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), DNA Profile
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).
