Meet the breeder

I'm Aron W., the breeder behind Von Schönen Träumen German Shepherds located in Roanoke, AL. Our quality puppies are the result of extensive research and thorough care for our dogs. Some of which have gone on to become service/therapy and ESA dogs! We are dedicated to building the breed by extensive health testing, and ensuring breed standards are passed down with each of our litters.

Q. & A. with Aron

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Having a love for the German Shepherd and several years of knowledge available was only the beginning. After having subsequent run-ins with irresponsible breeders in search of a puppy, our founder Aron Williams created VST German Shepherds. With a commitment to the safety, health, and happiness of his German Shepherds and their puppies, we strive to ensure your longevity and health of your puppy.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our emphasis is to create a GSD that is well-tempered, obedient, confident, easily trained, and would make an excellent companion dog while yet having strong show potential. The dogs we breed are 100% purebred, certified by DNA test, extensively health tested, and are all AKC-registered. We breed to the SV World Standard and take great measures to ensure your puppy will be healthy and happy.

  • 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 are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    We had nothing but an amazing experience. Aron was helpful through the whole process of getting our beautiful puppy Cove. Cove is an amazing puppy. He is very smart and is already taking to training very well and easily. He has beautiful markings as well. We are so happy he's a part of our family. We are so grateful to Aron. We definitely recommend Aron as a reputable German Shepherd breeder.

    Aron quickly responded to all of my questions and requests. The weekly puppy updates was a bonus that we looked forward to while waiting to bring our boy home.

    My goodness, there is not enough words to describe how AMAZING it was (and still is) to work with Aron in the addition a new family member to our home! Adelaide Grace Von Schönen Träumen (Gracie) is such a beautiful, smart, healthy baby girl with a wonderful temperament! Yes indeed, I included Aron's kennel name in Gracie 's name because Aron was so deserving of that! From the very first call expressing interest in her to the pickup day, Aron responded to my numerous calls and text immediately and always provided information, steps, tips, etc. As a matter a fact, Gracie has been with us for a week now and Aron and I still communicate sharing info, pics, etc. nearly everyday. Also thanks to Aron, obtaining and signing off on all her paperwork ranging from her AKC registration, her chip tracking transfer, her health info, insurance, and beyond was a breeze in the transition. Actually the day scheduled for her pickup, a series of storms came through Alabama the night before knocking down trees, power was out for thousands. I really thought there would be a delay in picking up my pup. Nope! Aron arranged it all and even met me halfway. He also provided a "puppy pack" with tons of educational resources, access to puppy training program at no cost to me, essentials for Gracie including food, a leash, vitamins, blanket, even a chew toy and poop bags. It has been such a joy getting to know our little angel. Her 9week checkup went great! Even the vet said, "Wow, where did you find her? She is outstanding!" I can't recommend Aron enough if you are searching for this miraculous animal, the GSD, from an outstanding breeder! A special thanks to Emily and Bryan in their assistance in getting Gracie to us on her pickup day! Last but not least, a huge thanks to Gracie's parents, Zamp and Aura for bringing her into this world!!!

    I had a wonderful experience with Aron. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced with the breed. When I reached out for more information, he took the time to personally call me and explain his program and breeding approach, which I truly appreciated. Our conversations gave me a lot of confidence in his expertise and dedication to his German Shepherds. My puppy, Ada, is healthy, happy, well-socialized, and has a wonderful temperament, which made the transition into my home so much easier. I also appreciated Aron’s willingness to travel for the puppy drop-off, which made the process smooth and stress-free. I’m so thankful for Ada and for Aron’s support along the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new companion.

I’ll be recommending him to anyone who is looking for an exceptional pup, Thank you again!
