Meet the breeder

I'm Casi R., the breeder behind Ray Ranch, LLC located in Saluda, SC. We breed well-renowned championship bloodlines from V Paska Vom Salztablick and V Bomber Vom Wolfsheim.

Q. & A. with Casi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got started breeding German Shepherds out of a deep appreciation for their intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. What began as owning and working with the breed quickly turned into a passion for raising well-minded, structurally sound dogs that could excel as family companions and working partners. Being involved in ranch life, I valued a dog that could think, protect, and work with purpose — and the German Shepherd checked every box. From there, breeding became a natural extension of my commitment to producing quality animals with strong minds and dependable temperaments.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding prioritizes proper structure: balanced angulation, strong toplines, solid movement, and overall breed correctness. This isn’t just about looks—it supports long-term soundness and durability. Champion lines are selected for clear-headed, confident, and reliable temperaments. That predictability matters whether the dog is destined for family companionship, sport, or work.

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

    Our puppies have plush coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Ray Ranch, LLC 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, 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.

  • 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).
