I'm Michael B., the breeder behind von Bauernhöfe Bedard located in Oxford, MI. Our goal is to produce very brave, healthy, and beautiful dogs. Our puppies are fun to work with, and are loyal family members.
Q. & A. with Michael
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted train and show the exceptional dogs in our program. Our very first litter we did an artificial insemination with the #1 German Shepherd in North America at the time. Every litter we select different stud dogs which we think compliment our females.
What makes your program special?
We select different stud dogs that are top placing in North America and Germany for every breeding. We also keep out of our own line of several generations and show. We take lots of pride in our dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
von Bauernhöfe Bedard 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.
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).
