Looking for a breeder near the Twin Cities.

meldleistikow · 11-26-2011, 01:58 PM

I am looking for a breeder within 5-6 hours of the Minneapolis, Minnesota. I would prefer working lines, but a show line with a good working drive would be great as well. I have seen a few near Chicago and even some close to home, but there really aren't any breeders really close who seem to title their dogs before breeding, which I feel is important.

I have been looking into Holtgrew German Shepherds in Iowa.

I have not contacted this breeder yet, but was wondering if anyone knew of her and your thoughts.

Interesting thread on this topic: Looking for Reputable Working Lines Breeder or Rescue in Minnesota

I'm in TX and have no idea how true it is, just passing it along.

I know there is Gildaf in Wisconsin that breeds working lines. I believe one of her males is a certified search and rescue dog and the other is started on ScH titles. Huerta Hof German Shepherds

Huerta Hof is in Illinois and breeds WGSL dogs that work. They have ScH titled stock as well. Huerta Hof German Shepherds

I believe both of those should be within your driving distance parameters. Those were two I was looking into that were within driving distance from me (eastern ND).

Another working line breeder that is just out of your driving range in MI that I would still consider is Wildhaus. (Wildhaus Kennels, Working German Shepherd Breeder in Michigan)

And another excellent WGSL breeder that titles their dogs in sport is Alta-Tollhaus in MI. Alta-Tollhaus German Shepherd Dogs
