Meet the breeder

I'm Stacy M., the breeder behind StaFra German Shepherd Dogs located in Anderson, SC. We take responsible breeding very seriously! All of our dogs are AKC Registered, Titled, Embark tested, DM Clear, OFA and SV Hips and Elbows. We raise our puppies with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and in our home. In doing so, we can prepare them for their future roles and families.

Q. & A. with Stacy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was raised with parents who trained and bred their hunting dogs. - Chesapeake Bay Retriever. I loved being with our dogs and being able to be a part of an ethical program. I continued with the same strict rules and testing my parents did in raising, training, showing and breeding my own dogs after I was an adult. Over 30 years in dogs, I still breed with a intentional purpose.

  • What makes your program special?

    I searched long and hard for the lines I wanted in my dogs and in future generations. I chose my foundation dogs for health, longevity, soundness in body, temperament , type and willingness to work as they are bred for. I do not breed any of my dogs until all tests with Embark breeders panel, hips and elbows are xrayed and graded by SV in Germany or OFA. We are actively training & titling.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include plush and long coat varieties. 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 tan, and bi-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

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

  • Elbow Dysplasia (Preliminary), 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Spine (OFA, FCI), Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Dentition, Brucellosis, Temperament Test

    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.
