Meet the breeder
I'm Leah S., the breeder behind Silver Starr Shepherds located in Durango, CO.
Q. & A. with Leah
Why did you start breeding?
I have rescued or adopted several german shepherds. After dealing with many health issues including bad allergies, DM, and behavioral issues I wanted to get a puppy from a breeder. I found one I liked. Instead of a puppy I took home an adult female to co-own and mentor with. I wanted to contribute to healthy specimens with great temperaments. I end up training with 3 different mentors over the course of 3 years.What makes your program special?
I try to create all the coat colors while keeping good temperaments and constantly working on confirmation and health. There is no DM in my program and I will only breed hips of good or excellent ratting in OFAWhat are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black, black and silver, black and red, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.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.
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.

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).
