Meet the breeder

I'm Kyle J., the breeder behind Vom Haus Highlands located in Philippi, WV. Vom Haus Highlands is a small breeder of high quality working line German Shepherds. All dogs selected for our breeding program have undergone rigorous health and temperament screening. We have hand selected and imported our dogs based on their outstanding temperaments and workability from Europe. Our goal is to provide well rounded healthy dogs with outstanding temperament’s. Our puppies start their Biosensor training on day three and we raise them using the latest puppy culture techniques. Our pups are suitable for a wide range of disciplines to include but not be limited to service/emotional support dogs, family/personal protection, search and rescue (SAR), high level competition, police/military and breeding programs. All puppies are born and raised in our home. All of our dogs are treated as members of our family, receive the best care and live very rewarding and meaningful lives. We offer on site pickup and hand delivery anywhere in the United States. International import and export services also available.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Vom Haus Highlands 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.

  • Temperament Test

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • 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).

    Working with Kyle was fantastic. We are first time dog owners as adults and he really talked us through everything as we waited for our puppy so we knew what to expect and were fully prepared at home and mentally. We arranged for delivery through Kyle as well and that worked out perfectly. We have had Pretzel at home for a few weeks now and she is doing great and learning quickly. She is nearly house trained, is crate trained, and knows sit and a few other commands. We are still working on the nipping while playing though as she is so excited! She has loved exploring the greenway near our house and is very friendly with all our neighbors and friends. Pretzel is growing fast and very healthy. Our son is just overjoyed to have a dog.

    Kyle was wonderful from the start! He was always available for questions and had lots of tips to help us with our first GSD! You can tell he cares about each dog he has and all of their puppies! Apache was dropped off right to our house and has been a good boy from the first few moments! You can tell that Kyle works with them from the start. He slept through the night from early on and hasn’t had any accidents inside! He loves attention and we can’t wait to see what a good dog he becomes as he grows in our family! 🥰

    We had a good experience getting a puppy from Kyle. The process was pretty smooth and he answered any questions we had. She has a good temperament. She is very inquisitive and gets used to new things very quickly.

    We got Kaiser from Kyle last September, and now at 9 months old he has already proven to be one of the best dogs we’ve ever owned. He has an exceptional temperament, rock-solid nerves, and natural confidence. Kaiser is naturally well-mannered, incredibly bonded to our family, and handles new environments and people with calm curiosity instead of reactivity. He’s exactly what a well-bred German Shepherd should be: athletic, intelligent, and trustworthy. Kyle was also fantastic throughout the process: transparent about his program, available for questions after we brought Kaiser home, and genuinely invested in the pups he places. If you’re looking for a responsible breeder who truly understands the breed and produces dogs with both excellent health and outstanding character, I can’t recommend Kyle highly enough. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him.

    Kyle was amazing to work with! He’s very knowledgeable and helpful with everything. He gave great tips and advice for taking care of German Shepherds! He’s quick to respond and will help with any questions or concerns. We love our new puppy he is so sweet and well behaved! You can tell these puppies were loved and well taken care of! This has been the best expirience I’ve ever had with getting a puppy.

    Kyle is hands down one of the best dog breeders we have ever come across. Our entire experience working with him through Good Dog was incredible from start to finish. We had never purchased a dog from far away before, so we were a little nervous about the process. From our very first conversation, Kyle was sincere, knowledgeable, and clearly takes great pride in his dogs, which immediately gave us confidence. We live in Nebraska, and Kyle was extremely helpful in guiding us through the best way to get Boone here. Our boy Boone is an incredible working dog pup, and you can definitely tell he comes from outstanding bloodlines. We’ve already had many compliments on his temperament and behavior, and he is a very smart dog. It’s clear Kyle puts a lot of care and early stimulation into his puppies to prepare them for their new homes. We couldn’t be happier with Boone and highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a well-bred dog. Boone has truly become a wonderful member of our family. 🐾
