Meet the breeder

I'm Shelly P., the breeder behind Liberty Shepherds located in Liberty Hill, TX. Dedicated German Shepherd breeder and trainer focused on raising safe, family-oriented dogs. With 15+ years of experience, I prioritize temperament, early socialization, and trust-based training to produce confident, reliable companions that thrive in loving homes.

Q. & A. with Shelly

Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding through family - after marrying my husband, my father-in-law gifted me my first stud dog about a year later. That experience sparked a passion I’ve pursued ever since, growing my knowledge and dedication to raising well-bred, well-trained German Shepherds.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program focuses on raising safe, stable, family-oriented dogs. I prioritize temperament, early socialization, and trust-based training from the very beginning, ensuring each puppy grows into a confident, reliable companion that thrives in a home environment.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include plush, long, and stock coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include bi-color, black and tan, and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
