Meet the breeder

I'm David S., the breeder behind Purebred Elite Shepherds located in Vancouver, WA. We specialize in AKC Show-Line German Shepherds, rooted in excellence. Our foundation female and stud services come from the renowned Majestic’s Royal in Puyallup, WA. We prioritize health through OFA hip/elbow certifications, ensuring our puppies are as sound and healthy as they are beautiful.

Q. & A. with David

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My entry into breeding was driven by a desire for excellence. I began by purchasing my foundation female from the renowned Majestic’s Royal German Shepherds breeder in Puyallup, WA. Under their mentorship, I’ve learned the nuances of the breed. I continue to work in close collaboration with them, utilizing their elite stud services to ensure my litters maintain a world-class bloodline and lineage.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our program stands out through a commitment to health and heritage. All our dogs are AKC registered and have verified OFA certified results for hips and elbows to ensure sound movement. By focusing on show lines and collaborating with Majestic’s Royal German Shepherds, we produce puppies with exceptional temperaments, stunning conformation, and the health foundation to thrive for a lifetime.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include stock, 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 black and red. 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.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Purebred Elite Shepherds 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.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    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.

    I am a single active mother and after watching my 1-year-old son’s affinity for dogs bloom, I decided to buy a dog that will not only bring more joy and companionship but also balanced protection. I found David while searching for German Shepherds. He was incredibly professional, responsive and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Everything was handled formally including assuring our pup’s medical records and health was up-to-date including registration records of his pedigree. I highly recommend David to anyone seeking high quality breeding and support throughout. Our pup’s name is Bear 🐻 he is now 8 weeks and is growing stronger and healthier by the day.

    I could tell right away that David is very knowledgeable about the GSD breed and truly strives to place his puppies in a great home. He interviewed me and gathered the information he needed to make a good placement decision. He communicates very well and is responsive to any question promptly. He very kindly met me at a place that was a doable driving distance both him and me, as he is in another state and at a distance that is a 6-7 hours drive from me. He came with his lovely wife and children. The puppy I now have is very beautiful, sweet, loving, playful, and intelligent. She was well socialized when I received her. She is doing so well with me and all the animals on my mini farm. I could not be happier! She is worth every dollar I spent! 🐶❤️🐾
