Meet the breeder
I'm Mary C., the breeder behind Von Wulfgeist Shepherds located in Rochester, MN. We are a small in-home breeding program of loving, family companion White Swiss Shepherds and long coat German Shepherds. Each puppy is greatly loved by us! We ensure they are socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes. Since the health of our dogs is the most important factor for us, we do not breed them without health testing and OFA certification. We can't wait to get to know you!
