I'm Pier S., the breeder behind Riley’s Run German Shepherds located in Lebanon, OH. We work hard to breed dogs for beauty, disposition, and good health. Our focus is on companion dogs with high intelligence and a calm disposition. Our dogs are eager to please and a joy to be with. Our dogs are born and raised on a farm with many other animals. Our dogs are only kenneled at night to sleep. During the day they are out as a pack as it was naturally intended.
