Ver Ritz German Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Pat E., the breeder behind Ver Ritz German Shepherds.. I am breeding top quality German Shepherds. I love having the opportunity to do my part in bettering the breed. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. These dogs are so wonderful and I know you will love your new German Shepherd companion.
Q. & A. with Pat
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding for my passion and love of exceptional German Shepherds. I believe in raising a healthy, good minded, great temperament member of the family dog.What makes your program special?
I carefully select the Sire for my females who are also health tested and have an exceptional temperament and have proven genetics. My dogs have their health tests, elbows, and hips certified. They live with me in my home and are part of the family. Pups are raised in my home with lots of love and attention to establish a confident and loving pup.
