Stephanie Hoffman's German Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Stephanie H., the breeder behind Stephanie Hoffman's German Shepherds located in Thornton, CO. I offer top-quality German Shepherd puppies with a focus on temperament, structure, beauty, and pedigree. I strive to better the line and ensure the healthy progression of the German Shepherd for generations to come. I am very conscious about who I rehome my puppies to and always strive to place each puppy in the best home possible complementary to its personality and ability. I love my dogs and what I do!
Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the German Shepherd. After losing our first German Shepherd, we purchased our female and wanted to keep her line going, so we decided to start breeding. She retired at the age of five, and now we are breeding her daughter. It has been a joy of a journey!What makes your program special?
We always breed to better the line. Both pedigrees are from exceptional bloodlines and the quality of our puppies has been extremely pleasing. They have excellent temperament and structure. Our priority is quality over quantity and our puppies are placed in loving homes that we have reviewed carefully. We would be honored to connect you with your next beloved German Shepherd pup!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
