Riley’s Run German Shepherds

Pier S.

Breeder of German Shepherds

Meet the breeder

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.

Q. & A. with Pier

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My dogs have been part of my entire life. When I was able to get a farm 4 years ago it was an easy decision to start breeding my favorite breed!
  • What makes your program special?

    I only breed GSDs as companion and family dogs. We do not show and they are not trained to be protective. I breed smart, obedient, loyal dogs that are naturally beautiful.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

  • 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.

    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).
