I'm Helen S., the breeder behind Von Sagendorf Proud Paws located in Otsego County, NY. I’m passionate about German Shepherds and am excited to responsibly share them with the world! I offer top-quality, loving pups. I take my job seriously, knowing that my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. My dogs are bred for those specifics, and I take pride in my breeding program. I can't wait to introduce you to my pups!
Q. & A. with Helen
Why did you start breeding?
I fell madly in love with my German Shepherds and wanted to share my love for these dogs in a responsible way. I do my best to give back to the breed by producing healthy pups and placing them into loving homes. It has been an absolute joy of a journey.
What makes your program special?
I am very conscious about who I rehome my puppies to and always ensure that each one goes to the best home possible complementary to its personality and ability. My puppies have gone to service homes, working homes, and loving families. No matter what, they make the best companions! I look forward to introducing you to yours.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
