vom Haus am Lerchenweg
Meet the breeder
I'm Thomas and Sally S., the breeder behind vom Haus am Lerchenweg located in Melba, ID. At vom Haus am Lerchenweg we have a specific breeding program that enables us to produce a German Shepherd that is not only striking in beauty but also has intelligence and strength and heart.
Q. & A. with Thomas and Sally
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding about 30 years ago in Germany. There is a need, in my opinion, of show dogs that can work. That are healthy, have a great temperament, but can go out of the field and do the job that they are being bred to do. Health and Temperament are a priority in our program. However, the dog must work and fit in the standard set out by the SV.What makes your program special?
Our program is special because of the knowledge. Not everyone can say they actually worked dogs back in the pedigrees for generations. Not only did I meet that dog and touch that dog, but I know that dog, its parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Its owner and the owner's parents. We can give you the history of dogs that we never owned as if they were our own.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include stock, plush, and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black, and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Great level
vom Haus am Lerchenweg 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 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), Chondrodysplasia/Dwarfism
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).
