I'm Rick s., the breeder behind Vom Haus Schair-Finest Working line German Shepherd Puppies located in Gainesville, GA. I am the Regional Director of the SE for The German Shepherd Dog Club of America and EXTREMELY concerned about breeding heathy stable dogs that benefit the breed.
I have been competing internationally and breeding since 1975 as well as training and breeding dogs for high level competition and productive family pets for personal protection, tracking, Police and Schutzhund/IPO competition. My dogs are bred to be correct in structure BUT also bred for their working ability and stability as the representatives of the breed.
Q. & A. with Rick
Why did you start breeding?
My love for the German Shepherd breed drove me to being a breeder. I love creating dogs with the perfect temperament for home or work. I believe I have the best lines and dogs available to accomplish this.
What makes your program special?
All dogs are titled, health tested, temperament tested and are selected by me personally from Germany. I do give full registration at sale. I do not breed handler aggression as the breed is a companion/protection dog.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black, bi-color, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Vom Haus Schair-Finest Working line German Shepherd Puppies 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 (rDVM, not registered), Hip Dysplasia (Preliminary), 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 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.
Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
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.
DNA Disease Panel, 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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
