Tuchscherer Kennel
Meet the breeder
I'm Janice T., the breeder behind Tuchscherer Kennel located in Mapleton, KS. Our goal is to breed not only a beautiful companion, but one that has come from health tested parents. We are looking for correct structure, the willingness to work (in any endeavor), and a temperament to go into any environment and be a confident family member.
Q. & A. with Janice
Why did you start breeding?
I had a friend that had started breeding before me. She had a beautiful male puppy that she offered to me. I fell in love with the breed because of Brix. I was unable to breed him, but it sent me on a quest to help in breeding the correct way.What makes your program special?
I don't believe mine is any more special than another's. But we stand behind each and every puppy we produce. We strive to only breed healthy, structurally correct German Shepherds that will bring something to every family they are placed with. We also will always be available to answer any questions or concerns, no matter the age of the dog.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Tuchscherer Kennel 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).
