Meet the breeder
I'm Sarah W., the breeder behind Konigsdorf located in Rensselaer County, NY. My passion is to breed top-quality puppies and connect them with loving forever homes. I have been breeding for over 40 years! I prepare all of my pups to thrive in their new forever homes! We have high expectations for our puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability.
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
German Shepherds are an incredible breed, and I decided to start my breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. They excel both in their work and as companions. I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that the breed will continue to thrive for a long time to come.What makes your program special?
While I know that not every pup in each litter will grow up to become a service dog, I am confident that each one will become a treasured family member! I work hard so my puppies can leave my home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Konigsdorf 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 (Preliminary), 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 (Preliminary), 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.
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.
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).
