What's it like to own a Lionheart Shepherd? Hear what our Lionheart families have to say about it!

Luna

"Hi Lionheart Shepherds,

My husband brought Luna home as a surprise birthday gift for me in 2022. I’ve wanted a German Shepherd for as long as I can remember so to say Luna is my dream dog would be an understatement. She is absolutely everything I could’ve dreamed of and so much more. She’s beautiful, sweet, friendly, and incredibly smart. She was easy to train, is good with our kids, and is overall a wonderful dog. She’s definitely a head-turner too as we get compliments on her all the time. I have to pinch myself sometimes because I can’t believe she’s really ours. Thank you so much for such a great dog and member of our family!"

Johnny Cash

"He’s curious. Brave. Loyal. Loving. Protective. Persistent. Loves swimming.

He’s also always wanting walkies, play time, water hose time, cuddle time. Spends more time on my bed than I do. Takes naps with me on the couch when days are long.

I have one regret - not getting his brother too at the same time."

-Darko

Bronson

"I have no words to tell you how perfect he is! He is so sweet and such a personality, his expressions are priceless. Thank you for such a perfect pup! I’ve had a lot of gsds and although I love them all, and Caesar who is my big boy and a sweetheart too, Bronson just melts your heart and makes you smile!"

-Ann

Arnold

"Just got Arnold back from boarding school, he's doing great. Very good boy.

Great experience, highly recommend getting a puppy with Lionheart. I love my little boy."

-Ian

Daisy Grace

"Update: Daisy Grace is doing AMAZING!!! She already knows how to "heel", "Sit" & figured out the treat puzzles. She is already attached to Eden & never leaves her side. Our other 2 dogs are still hoping that this new puppy is just "visiting" because she uses them as moving "chew toys" right now, lol."

Allie

"We purchased our German Shepherd a little over a year ago from Lionheart Shepherds and from the moment we brought her home, Allie quickly became an integral part of our family.

Firstly, we must commend Lionheart Shepherds for their exceptional breeding program. Allie embodies the finest traits of a German shepherd – strength, intelligence, and loyalty. She has exceeded our expectations in every aspect, making us proud owners.

Allie’s temperament is remarkable. She is incredibly friendly, smart, and obedient. Whether it's interacting with family members or new people, she radiates warmth and always brings joy to everyone around her. Her intelligence is evident in how quickly she learns commands and adapts to new situations.

Allie’s physical attributes are striking. She possesses a stunning long coat, impeccable structure, and an impressive gait. Not only does she turn heads wherever we go, but she also showcases the exceptional breeding standards of Lionheart Shepherds. In fact when Allie met her vet for the first time, the vet described her in one word - exquisite.

In terms of health, Allie has been vibrant and robust since day one. Lionheart Shepherds provided thorough documentation of her medical history, ensuring transparency and peace of mind for us as owners. We sincerely appreciate their dedication to breeding healthy and strong German shepherds.

Allie has brought immeasurable love, companionship, and happiness into our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Lionheart Shepherds to anyone seeking a remarkable German shepherd companion. Their commitment to breeding exceptional dogs, combined with their outstanding customer service, sets them apart from the rest. We are forever grateful for Allie and Lionheart Shepherds for enriching our lives with such an extraordinary canine companion."

Rocket

"Our boy Rocket was born on March 3, 2020 with Lionheart Shepherds and we took him home at 8 weeks old.

Rocket has brought us so much joy! He loves to learn new tricks, play with other dogs, and go on adventures. His temperament is amazing, he’s friendly to everyone he meets! He especially loves kids and is so gentle with them! Rocket is loving, affectionate, and quite calm considering he is only 10 months old. He is an amazing companion and we absolutely adore him!"

-Lynn and Frank

Bear

"We got our first ever puppy and Lionheart was the best. They walked us thru everything. They sent pictures and updates, set up a puppy nanny to get our puppy to us . I can not say enough great stuff. The puppy's temperment is awesome. He is mellow and loving. I am so grateful to Lionheart. I will be buying all my dogs here from now on."

-Alyssa

Thor

"We cannot express enough how amazing Lionheart Shepherds is. After a ton of research and a lot of breeders leaving us hanging, the stars aligned with them and we found out perfect pup, Thor, baby of Alina and Medox. Only 4 months with this boy but he feels like he’s been a part of the family for a lifetime. After learning all of his tricks within 5 days of having him home, he was also potty trained in the same time frame. We cannot say enough about how genetically perfect he is and just how smart he is - we swear he knows everything we say. Thank you, Lionheart Shepherds! We will never get a German shepherd from another breeder."

-Madeline

Benito

"His name is Benito, nick name Benny or Benny Wenny. Your company was amazing and so easy to work with. And our Benny has been amazing as well. Great with our kids. And he comes to work with us every day. Living the best life!"

-Joanne

Celia & Cybin

"These kiddos turn 1 year old today and have been loving life (what a joy they are)!"

-Marshall

Kona

"Kona is the heart of our family. We love her so much. She has a great temperament and is very intelligent. She potty trained in two days it was amazing. She loves to train and work. Lionheart Shepherds stands behind their dogs, and I’m truly grateful for that."

-Lindi

Bonnie

"We really enjoyed our transaction with Lionheart, the communication was great- all their pups are beautiful. Our Bonnie has been such a light in our home she is funny, and is developing a great relationship with our toddler and we couldn't ask for a better company for him!""

-Sol

Gunner

"Highly recommend Lionheart Shepherds. We had a great experience and were able to get our new baby delivered to us in Texas with their help. Gunner is such an amazing dog. He is so intelligent!! We love him very much."

-Summer

Nando

"We would not trade our boy for anything. He is such a gift. He is the best boy ever. He’s 55lbs, maybe 60 now. He is so calm, aside from when he really wants to play. He knows all of his commands, loves to fetch the ball, play in the water, loves all people and dogs, and especially loves the snow!"

-Andrea

Tango

I would be delighted to share my absolute love affair with Tango. He is beyond anything I could have hoped for. I also will send you some photos of him at 10 months he is 82 pounds and stunning! Not only is he beautiful and kind he is amazing in his gait and presence.....can’t go anywhere without people stopping me and commenting on him
He is the best dog I have ever had...goes everywhere with me!
You should make more of these!

Maizy

"I wanted to give you an update on Maizy, blue collar, she has adjusted perfectly. We are all in love and she is such a happy girl!! I can't thank you enough for all your help in making this happen on such short notice!! Here are a few pictures"

-Kimberly

Howl

"Hi Catharine , I wanted to share with you how happy and thriving Howl has been. I can not imagine a day without him. He has the perfect temperament and was able to go through stores and crowded areas unphased and consistently. He walked the airport and sits in crowded coffee shops without distraction. He has proved the ability to be a service dog for myself and we are training together. If I had every dreamed of the perfect dog, it would be him!!"

-Saba

Dak

"Dak (aka Lime Green Boy) is doing AMAZING!!! He's such a huge part of our family and is so well behaved! I've attached a few pictures of him. He's getting huge (already 85 lbs) and has a heart to match!!! We've also had many people ask us where we've gotten him, so we've referred them to your website. :) Thank you all for giving us our four-legged family member! "

-Bryan and Casey

Bella Hadid

"Our long coat pup, Bella Hadid, is playful, loving, fiercely loyal and a supermodel to boot! For our first GSD, we definitely did our research. Lionheart Shepherds is unequivocally the best family breeder out there. What distinguishes one breeder from another extends far beyond the quality of the pup. Beforehand, Jen and Catharine went above and beyond to answer our questions and determine if we were a good fit for a GSD, as well. They are less interested in the sale...and far more invested in making sure the pups are in good, loving hands. Each and every pup -- as you can see from their social media -- is gorgeous, stunning and an exemplary representation of the breed. Speaking of social media, anyone can create a facade. However, Lionheart Shepherds are the REAL DEAL. Not only do we remain in touch with the family, we would 100% acquire any additional GSDs from them and recommend them to anyone interested. Last but not least, Bella Hadid is the baby sister to our mature Golden Retriever -- the sibling he never knew he needed!"

-Rahul

Buck

"I would recommend Lionheart Shepherds to any of my friends or family that were interested in getting a German Shepherd puppy – 100% positive experience (great customer service). As far as Buck goes – he is going to give his dad (Medox) a run for his money as far as best-looking German Shepherd. I have attached a couple of recent photos – he’s getting big. He sometimes thinks that he is the boss – but other than that – just a fantastic puppy. I might see about getting him a playmate (maybe next summer), so you may be seeing me again. Thanks for everything."

-Michael

Koda

"You are more than welcome to share this image of Koda. Feel free to your testimonials and I just want to thank you for letting me have this wonderful very well behaved GSD."

-Brian

Enzo

"Enzo is my first dog, and I am so glad I got him from Lionheart Shepherds. They were amazing throughout the whole process, and knowing your pup is coming from a safe and legitimate breeder you can trust is so important. His temperament is amazing, and he’s such a beautiful boy with the softest coat! Great with other dogs & kids as well. I love him more than anything- thank you, Lionheart!"

-Victoria

Jo-Jo

"JoJo has settled in here and we love her. She's answering to her name and "sits down" on command. We take her on short walks 2-3 times a day. For the most part she poops and pees outside and only uses the pads in the pen overnight. She is SO smart! Her favorite past-time right now is "jump into the water bowl". She takes a run at the bowl and dives in with her front paws. Hilarious as it is (and it really is very funny) we're trying to stop her from doing that. She is our treasure, such a beautiful addition to our family. We love her beyond words."

-Daniela and Richard

Jax

"I sent you a picture of Jax at the trainer. They are very impressed with him! They called him an ambassador for the breed. Great temperament and smart. That's a testament to y'all. I'm very proud of him and his trainer only has great things to say about him. He's trained quite a few of Jack's great grandfather's progeny and he said all were phenomenal dogs. He applauds y'all's breeding program. Feel free to share. He makes me look good."

-Eileen

Dakota

"Dakota will be 1 year old tomorrow!! She finished her obedience training with a very reputable German Shepherd trainer. We were told she is a little stubborn and goes from 0-10 in a minute! and yes....that's all true!

She gets that devilish gleam in her eye and that's when we know she's going to act out! She seems to be very protective of me from my husband....barks at him whenever we are in the same room. We love our girl and will share more pictures as we take them!"

-Tina

Simba

"Mr Orange collar aka Simba didn't stay a baby for long. He loooooves people and my mom takes him to dog park almost everyday to socialize - and also to the water (bay) where he loves to play in water. And then after they go to pet smart to see their favorite checkout lady for a treat."

-Jackie, Bonnie, and Glenn

Mia

My son said "she's just lovely" and she truly is. She is perfect and came nearly potty-trained - she truly has good bloodlines and clearly her parents are loved and nurtured. Thank you for breeding a stellar lineage. She's a blast and a perfect fit!"

Yours truly,

Marissa+the fam
