Meet the breeder

I'm Margaret S., the breeder behind Top Gun Shepherds, LLC located in Great Cacapon, WV. I have been breeding shepherds for 25 years. I have owned shepherds most of my life. I breed for temperament first and foremost. My breeding parents are all very approachable and kid friendly.

Q. & A. with Margaret

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    I have always been invested in the well-being of animals and am passionate about breeding as close to the breed standard as possible. My life revolves around my dogs and meeting their needs both socially and medically. I strive to bring you the healthiest, most well-rounded puppies. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the German Shepherd line.

    Our puppies include stock and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Top Gun Shepherds, LLC reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • 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.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
