I'm Dee L., the breeder behind Wynott German Shepherds located in Gardnerville, NV. It’s important to us that we continue to improve our program and share our knowledge with our buyer families. We want to better the breed through thorough health testing and selective breeding decisions.
Q. & A. with Dee
Why did you start breeding?
I spent an exorbitant amount of money purchasing dogs that ended up with significant health problems or disqualifying faults. Decided to breed my own to attempt to have better, healthier animals bred to the standard.
What makes your program special?
All breeding stock are health tested prior to use. All Conformation dogs also have performance titles.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Brucellosis, Dentition, Temperament Test
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.
