Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Pray Love Shepherd Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Temperament Test

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Orivet Genetics, Full Breed Profile, Full Embark Panel, DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Johnathan was awesome to deal with very communicative and helpful with any questions I had about our puppy. We chose an adorable girl sable and we couldn’t be happier with our new member to the family.

    It was a great experience. This was my first German Shepherd and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    I recently bought my German Shepherd from Jonathan at Pray Love Shepherd Kennels, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. My puppy was shipped to me, and Jonathan made the process smooth, keeping me updated and answering every question along the way. He was always friendly, informative, and trustworthy, which gave me peace of mind about buying from him. The quality of his breeding really shows—my pup arrived healthy, strong, and full of personality. He’s incredibly smart, sometimes a little stubborn, but always very friendly and eager to learn. It’s clear that Jonathan truly cares about the dogs he raises, and I’m grateful I chose Pray Love Shepherd Kennels. I’d definitely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a well-bred German Shepherd with the right mix of intelligence, health, and character.

    We had such a great experience with Jonathan! They were so responsive and supportive, giving us guidance on what Onyx would need. They take such great care of the puppies and they are raised in their home with their family so onyx took to our boys right away. They introduce them to a wide range of foods. Onyx arrived knowing sit, come, and has picked up stay and leave it already (at 9 weeks). Overall Onyx is healthy, very intelligent, and a great addition to our family.

    the beginning of march marked envy’s beginning of her story with me. she was such a sweet puppy coming home , the first night was scary for her and hardest for me, but every second i spent with her i enjoyed her more and more. the greatest thing i adored was how amazingly smart she was. soon as she was comfortable, we started obedience training , and crate training which she had down withen the week. as growing and progressing with her training, we introduced the water to her again. which she was a little nervous about the spraying from a hose but enjoyed swimming in the water at her own terms. with months of time she grew the love for the water. and the fastest swimmer i’ve ever seen. with this her dock diving journey began! we began training her to jump off the dock, and with that it was such beauty to watch her spiral with such spirit doing what she loves. Over time we introduced more things such as slight bite work, and even learning to search and retrieve which i never would have thought she would success in! With the unfortunate incident with our breeders, i was very pleased they still held there head up with everything going on in there lives. And truly greatful for the amazing baby that changed my life. Apart from how spectacular this breeder is aswell as the puppies, my envy has truly fulfilled a empty spot in my heart. Everyday , every training session has been such a bonding experience. everyday, i learn more amazing things about her, and my heart grows more for her!
