I'm Diana L. U., the breeder behind Von Tasz White Shepherds located in Livonia, MI. Von Tasz eliminates the guesswork associated with selecting the best puppy for you and your family. Our breeding program goal is to produce the "total dog" sound in both mind and body. We health test our breeding dogs to ensure we are producing healthy pups. Raising the next member of your family is not a responsibility that we take lightly.
Q. & A. with Diana L.
Why did you start breeding?
My breeding program was launched with my foundation female, Tasz, in the early 1980s. She was a beautiful, eager to please and work girl that excelled in performance and the show ring. She fueled my love and passion for the White Shepherd.
What makes your program special?
All breeding decisions take health, temperament, working drive, and structure into consideration. I ensure the pups are highly socialized, go through the Neurological Stimulation program, and are seen by a vet. I hand select the puppy buyers to ensure they only go to the best and qualified homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
