Meet the breeder

I'm Crystal S., the breeder behind Squires German Shepherds located in Pierce County, WA. I want to make the transition from my loving home to yours as seamless as possible by giving personal attention to each little pup to ensure it is well-rounded and prepared to excel in its forever home. By creating an environment of health and harmony for young puppies, I believe I am able to give each little pup the very best chance to reach its potential, express its best character, and bring forth its greatest gifts in the relationship with itself and to its family.

Q. & A. with Crystal

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As I learned more about responsible breeding practices, I wanted to do my part to produce healthy, well-bred puppies. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy German Shepherds for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!

  • What makes your program special?

    I am passionate about German Shepherds, and my love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of my breeding program. My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and I do everything I can to ensure they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families. I strive to provide each of my puppies and their families with a truly positive experience!

    Our puppies include long and plush coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Squires German Shepherds were very easy to work with. They answered all of my questions and continue to be available if needed. My GS has the BEST temperament. She is bright, friendly, and protective when needed. She is great with children and other dogs. She loves chasing birds, swimming, and running. Best decision our family made!
