I'm Roger S., the breeder behind Island Shepherds located in Stevensville, MD. I offer top-quality Dutch Shepherd puppies for families who share the same love and passion that I do for these lovely companions.

Q. & A. with Roger
Why did you start breeding?
The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!What makes your program special?
My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. I love what I do, and I can't wait to connect with you!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
