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.

“Personalized matching for working line temperaments due to the intelligence, high drive and intensity of our working line German Shepherds we do not allow buyers to choose a puppy based on looks alone! Our priority is placing the right puppy in the right home for a lifetime of success!! Our matching process involves: 1- extensive interview. We require detailed information about your families experience with high drive dogs, your daily routine, and your specific goals for the puppy whether it’s competitive sport advanced obedience or committed family protection. 2- temperament assessment. We use formal testing such as puppy culture & Volhard assessment around 7 to 8 weeks of age to gauge the puppies nerve, confidence, drive level and social stability. 3- the final match. We carefully match the puppy who is assessed drive and temperament best aligned with your families experience and dedication to providing a proper outlet for their instincts. For instance, a very high drive puppy may be reserved only for a sport or service home while a medium drive puppy with an excellent off switch may be suitable for an experienced active family companion. ”
