Meet the breeder

I'm Amy R., the breeder behind Zwinger Vom Greifjäger located in Plumas Lake, CA. I’m Amy, the breeder of Zwinger Vom Greifjäger. I have over 20 years of experience with German Shepherd's. My focus is on breeding long coat West German show line German Shepherds that possess balanced temperaments, structural soundness, and versatility for both family life and performance homes.

Q. & A. with Amy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always had an interest in breeding but the bug got to me more after being around many of my friends that are breeders and support my decision to also breed. My main purpose is to provide quality German Shepherds that have been well bred and suited for both working homes and pet homes. I breed according to the German SV standards for the breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    I offer only long coat West German show line puppies. My dogs and puppies are raised in my home surrounded by my family. I find my puppy families have a more positive relationship with their puppy when I match the appropriate puppy to their family. Color and gender preferences are always given but it’s the drive, energy, and temperament that only a breeder will know best.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have long 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, black and tan, and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Zwinger Vom Greifjäger reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    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

    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.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
