Serendipity Dutch Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Doree D., the breeder behind Serendipity Dutch Shepherds located in Longmont, CO. I have been breeding dogs for 20 years, this is my first Dutch Shepherd litter. I believe in training dogs primarily through positive reinforcement and will require that puppy buyers use science based training methods. I am dedicated to ensuring pups have a healthy relationship with their families.
Q. & A. with Doree
Why did you start breeding?
We purchased a bitch from friends who were involved in SAR. They mentored us and helped us navigate health testing, finding a stud and with raising the first litter. There are very few British type Border Collies so we bred our own rather than import dogs.What makes your program special?
We put a great deal of effort into both choosing breeding pairs and in how we raise the litter. Our goal is to raise dogs that could be great working dogs and/or great family pets. I believe that this is best acheived through science based training methods.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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.
