I'm Sarah D., the breeder behind Tier 1 German Shepherds located in Corona, CA. Our dogs are our beloved companions. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible German Shepherd breeders. We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that 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.
Q. & A. with Sarah
What makes your program special?
We are not just breeders but we are badass breeders! We follow the badass breeders program which means our dogs are top notch in their care. At the start of 3 days old they start ENS (early neurological stimulation) & ESI (early scent introduction) which continues till 16 days old. And we are constantly introducing new sounds to desensitize them.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
