I'm Catelynn W., the breeder behind Legacy Shepherds located in Fielding, UT. At Legacy Shepherds, our mission is simple — to raise puppies who become a meaningful part of your family’s story. Every puppy we bring into the world represents the beginning of a legacy — one built on love, loyalty, and lifelong companionship.
Our dogs aren’t just breeding animals; they’re part of our family. We’re dedicated to raising low- to medium-drive German Shepherds with calm, stable temperaments — dogs who will thrive as loving family pets while still carrying the intelligence and devotion this breed is known for.
Each breeding is carefully planned, every parent is health tested, and every puppy is raised right in our home, surrounded by the sounds of daily life. From their very first breaths, our puppies are loved, handled, and nurtured. They grow up being cuddled by kids, exposed to everyday experiences, and guided through early socialization and temperament development.
I trust every one of my dogs with my own children — and that’s the standard I hold for every puppy that leaves our home. When you take home a Legacy Shepherd, you’re not just getting a dog; you’re welcoming a protector, a playmate, and a forever friend.
Let us help you start your own Legacy of love and loyalty.
