I'm Sharyl S., the breeder behind Starfyre Berger Blanc Suisse located in Orland Park, IL. I produce pups that will continue to excel in their chosen field, whether that be working, showing, or as an active companion. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes.
Q. & A. with Sharyl
Why did you start breeding?
A consistent love for the Berger Blanc Suisse encouraged the beginning of Starfyre. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy puppies for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed.
What makes your program special?
I work hard to produce puppies that can become service dogs, so I place a huge focus on temperament and health. I am also careful with conformation. I take pride in raising well-tempered and socialized puppies who can excel in work, show, and as beloved companions.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Our experience with Sharyl and Daniece was truly amazing!
From the very first contact, Sharyl was incredibly kind, transparent, and attentive. She genuinely cares about every detail and the well-being of her puppies. The whole process of finding our Berger Blanc Suisse was smooth, honest, and filled with care.
When it came time for delivery, we were greeted by Daniece, who was simply wonderful! She handled everything with so much love, professionalism, and clarity. You can tell how much she loves what she does and how well the puppies are cared for from birth to the moment they go home.
Our puppy, Ark, arrived healthy, confident, and full of life — a true reflection of the love and dedication they both put into their work. I wholeheartedly recommend Sharyl and Daniece to anyone looking not just for a dog, but for a new member of the family.

We had such a wonderful experience getting our White Swiss Shepherd puppy from Sharyl! From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to work with—always quick to respond to any questions, even after we brought our puppy home. It’s clear that Sharyl truly loves her dogs and is deeply knowledgeable about breeding. The amount of care and detail she puts into sharing information about her puppies and their parents really stood out.
Our puppy is everything we hoped for—smart, confident, and so well adjusted. It’s obvious that Sharyl put a great deal of time and love into socializing and preparing her puppies for their new homes. We couldn’t be happier and can’t say enough good things about this entire experience. Highly recommend!

Sharyl was fantastic to work with. You can tell she really cares about her dogs. Communication was easy, and I loved the opportunity to see updates and pictures of my puppy online! Our new addition is fitting right in, and we all love her so much already. I couldn't be happier!

My husband and I are so thankful that we found Sharyl/Starfyre Berger Blanc Suisse and for how this all worked out. We had continual communication with Sharyl through the whole process starting with an initial and very informative telephone call. She listened well and was so kind and patient with us and promptly and truthfully responded to our numerous questions. We never felt pressured. She worked with us regarding researching transporting options from Chicago to Boise, and she and the flight nanny connected and took care of everything seamlessly.
Our new family member, Boo aka Mr. Boo Boo, is a beautiful, smart and happy puppy from a great and healthy lineage, and we are so blessed to have him. Sharyl also provided a really wonderful "care package" for us to continue Boo's nurturing away from his Mama Rose' and the people he knew. We were very impressed and grateful for that and for her continued availability to field our questions, and we have become new friends. I would highly recommend Sharyl to anyone looking for the ultimate pet, a lovely White Swiss Shepherd. We've had several dogs in our many years of marriage and believe this breed is the best; and Sharyl via GoodDog.com provided thorough and transparent information and made this a five-star experience! :-)

Working with Sharyl has been an amazing experience. From educating us on the Swiss Shepherd breed to supporting us even after pickup, she’s been incredibly helpful and committed. Sharyl isn’t just a breeder, she’s a true advocate for the breed, and her passion shows in everything she does.
We picked up our pup, Fang, from the airport in Chicago, and the process was seamless. Sharyl met us at the airport and took the time to go through everything about the puppy's care and welcomed us to the community. Our pup's parents are impressive, his dam is a therapy dog and his sire has titles in obedience and protection sports.
Thank you, Sharyl, for setting us up for success.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
