Q. & A. with Angel
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve always loved the German Shepherd breed — their intelligence, loyalty, and drive have inspired me to train and compete with them for years. That passion led me to start Wild Haven Shepherds, a small, intentional program focused on producing healthy, sound, and well-balanced dogs.What makes your program special?
Every breeding starts with proven, titled dogs who have been tested in both sport and real-world settings. Each dog is evaluated for structure, temperament, and working ability before ever being considered for breeding. My goal is to produce German Shepherds that embody true versatility — confident, capable, and loyal partners whether in sport or at home.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 sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
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.
Temperament Test, Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
