I'm Dani N., the breeder behind Odom's German Shepherds located in Springtown, TX. Our dogs are bred for longevity and health, stable temperament and adaptability, athleticism, intelligence and strong human bonds. We have produced the most dedicated companions who compete in Agility, Tracking, rally etc., medical service & emotional support dogs, and instinctive protectors.
Q. & A. with Dani
Why did you start breeding?
My family bred and raised German Shepherds my entire life. I have always been interested in breeding and am truly passionate about my dogs. I had a hard time appreciating certain traits of other breeders' lines and decided that I would produce them myself. Its not easy but so worth it- and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
What makes your program special?
Many breed dogs in order to produce a specific type of dog: working, show, companion, followed by specifics such as protection, service/support, conformation, agility, tracking, herding, etc. I wanted to produce dogs that have the potential to excel within various venues-to naturally protect without training, to have the stance and stride of a show dog, and the speed and agility of a working dog. By also emphasizing the importance of socialization and human interaction, you are then able to produce the best, beloved companions. That is the goal of my program.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include plush and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Ears are almost all the way up, most of our puppies have gone home, and the rest are getting crate trained and moving on from sit, come, and wait.

Puppies are 3 weeks! Eyes open and toddling around like pros. They're chirping those cute little barks and lifting paws at each other to play🥰
Little Man and Kiera's litter

Litter update on 18 Nov. 2024 •
Puppies are 5 weeks and have discovered the great outdoors! They've had their first puppy shot and dewormer!
They're eating solid puppy food and have already learned how to use the doggy door. We're working on migrating all bathroom use to the outdoors but right now they are using wood pellet litter as they transition.
Personalities are starting to show, some are more inquisitive, some a little more reserved. All are absolutely thriving and desire human interaction and attention!
We're introducing new stimuli -different flooring and surfaces, sounds and smells!

First of all Dani was the absolute definition of a perfect GSD breeder and advocate for the breed itself. The adoption process was great from the beginning, she was quick to respond and very helpful with the many questions we had. When we went to pick up our puppy she was very kind and very willing to share her knowledge and give tips and background on the puppy’s behavior and parentage. 11 out of 10 experience with Dani
