Meet the breeder

I'm Dale G., the breeder behind Von Zorhaus located in Moore, SC. 100% European Working line German Shepherd dogs well socialized and bred for temperament, loyalty, trainability, and beauty. Our dogs make excellent family members and are perfect with children.We strive to sell dogs from excellent imported lines for a reasonable price.

Q. & A. with Dale

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My wife and I purchased our first dog (GSD) not long after we were married and both fell in love with the breed. After continuing research one thing led to the other and our first litter came a few years later. We have grown a lot and learned a lot about what to look for not only in the dog but in the pedigree. Our commitment has led to significant investment of money and time in quality dogs.

  • What makes your program special?

    Attention to temperament of the dog. When people visit us we want an open door policy. No dogs we don't have under control or don't trust with strangers in our presence. I want people sold by not only the looks and movement of our dogs, but by their personality, loyalty, how social and responsive they are. Family companion/protection is our focus.

  • 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 include sable, black, and bi-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

  • 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.

    I had a very good experience with Dale. From the beginning of the process all the way up to pickup day, he was extremely communicative and kept me informed every step of the way. He was also very accommodating and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Dale to anyone looking for a puppy. The puppy I got from him has been one of the best things that has happened to me. My current dog and I are completely in love with him, learning something new every day, and truly enjoying every moment together.

    Dale is absolutely phenomenal! Before we put down our deposit he was very responsive in answering all of our questions. When we put down our deposit he gave us weekly pictures and videos of the pup until he was ready to be picked up. Dale went through all the paperwork with us and you can tell he cares so much for all his dogs and they are treated with so much love. As for the pup himself… absolutely adore him! Zilla has gone from one loving home to another. I 100% recommend Dale as your next breeder. Dale, thank you so much for being so kind and helpful during the entire process. I admire the way you handle the dogs and your adoption process. 🐾 😌
