Jemira Kennel
Meet the breeder
I'm Chris S., the breeder behind Jemira Kennel located in Peyton, CO. I am conscientious, I care about what I breed and produce. I care about the breed. I am dedicated to producing puppies that will thrive and to chose people for them that will provide nurturing forever homes.
Q. & A. with Chris
Why did you start breeding?
When I was a kid I always wanted a horse and a German Shepherd (must have been all those Rin Tin Tin shows because growing up in Alaska I sure didn't see many in person). Approx. 30 or more years ago I worked for a lady that bred GSD and she offered me a co-ownership on one of her beautiful girls...and so it began!What makes your program special?
We are a small and dedicated program. We are able to devote plenty of time to our dogs and puppies. We are looking to produce quality puppies and are not looking for quantity. Parent dogs are not just beautiful but mentally sound and health tested.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Jemira Kennel 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.
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).
