Ocoee Valley German Shepherd Dogs

Linda D.

Breeder of German Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Linda D., the breeder behind Ocoee Valley German Shepherd Dogs located in Cleveland, TN. I registered my first litter in 1978. I only produce family friendly lower drive dogs. My passion is the long coat German Shepherd. They have softer temperaments that are equally happy lounging on the sofa as they are going for a run with a family member. Each one is traffic stopping beautiful!

Q. & A. with Linda

What makes your program special?
I am not involved with the political or opinionated breed clubs. I don't follow fads. I follow my heart instead. I breed the dog I always dreamed of! A dog that is healthy, that I can love for as many years as possible. He/she of course must be super smart and easy to train and easy to live with. And last of all he must be take your breath away beautiful.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black and red, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
