Meet the breeder
I'm Alisa P., the breeder behind Parsons German Shepherds located in Allegan, MI. I am committed to always responsibly breeding with the best interest of our puppies’ health and longevity at the forefront. I have been breeding for over 10 years, I started out following in my mom's footsteps with Australian Shepherds, and along the way, I found my love for German Shepherds. I pride myself in my dogs' temperaments. We work to find the best matches.

To join the waitlist a $200 fee is to be paid to the breeder, make sure to inform the breeder of the desired sex/color. When pups are born the breeder will notify WL buyers a then picks will be taken in order of WL fees paid. 1st paid=1st pick. Picks must be made by 2 weeks old or you forfeit your right to pick, the breeder and will move on to next in line. If after all picks have been made and you still cannot commit breeder will allow others to start making deposits for available puppies. I cannot hold a whole litter back for picks if someone is indecisive, so please know what you want and be able to commit. If the WL prospect decides to back out they can wait for a future litter but the WL fee is non-refundable. To hold a puppy a $500 (in total) fee is due, if WL fee was paid it includes WL fee so you would just pay an additional $300. The deposit is required to hold a puppy an are non-refundable.

+5Alisa was great! She communicated with pupdates and answered any questions I had. She had already started crate training when we got our girl at 8 weeks. She (Ziva) did great the first night to our home. Good dog made it super easy to search with criteria and also with payments. We are so happy we chose Parsons German Shepherds for our new little girl. Thank you Alisa 🥰

Alisa was wonderful to work with, she responded quickly and was very helpful when it came to any questions about the breed and her litter. You can tell she cares a lot for her dogs and is experienced with the breed and their temperaments. Alisa made sure we left with everything we needed for our new puppy including the sweetest goodie bag, making the transition for bringing her home so much easier. We could not be happier with our new puppy and our experience with Alisa.
