I'm Jennifer B., the breeder behind LakeView Shepherds located in Battle Lake, MN. Having German Shepherds in our lives is such a blessing. We cherish each of our dogs, puppies, and our puppies families. We work hard and do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. We are selective whom we breed and look beyond the parents. It is important for us to produce German Shepherds that are a pleasure to live with, are easy to train, have good social skills, have structural soundness, and are good examples of the breed. We strive to provide each of our puppies and their families with a truly positive experience.
