I'm Jason S., the breeder behind vom Sippel Shepherds located in Minneota, MN. My focus is on health and temperament. I care deeply about my puppies' well-being and strive to place them into loving homes. I import top quality bloodlines from across the world and I only breed West German Show lines with a1 or a2 hips and normal elbows. I want nothing more than to see my dogs and puppies thrive in their environments.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
vom Sippel Shepherds 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).
