Woodside German Shepherds

Sandy Anderson is wonderful! We purchased a long coated shepherd from her and he is amazing! We have grown to known Sandy more since getting our dog and enjoy spending time at her property letting him run and play. We board our dog at her facilities when we go on vacation. He is always well taken care of and happy to stay there. The staff she has working with her are friendly and personable. I would recommend Woodside German Shepherds to anyone who is looking for a well-balanced, loving dog.

Amazing breeder that cares greatly. Sandy will actually ask for her dog back if for example, the person can no longer care for him/her. None of Sandy’s dog go to shelters. She re-homes them. Woodside German Shepherds are also gorgeous looking dogs with a wonderful temperament. I highly recommend this breeder.

If your looking to purchase a German Shepherd, regardless of where you are located, make sure to check out Woodside. Sandy Anderson the owner/breeder of Woodside German Shepherds will help you and guide you in the right direction. If your looking for a pet or show puppy/dog she can help. Sandy is very accommodating and if there are any problems big or small she will make sure you leave there satisfied. I love my Woodside puppy and I am so happy to know that Sandy Anderson is only a phone call or message away if needed.

I've known Sandy for well over thirty years and have had dogs from Woodside lines during that time; I currently co-own a Woodside puppy. Sandy is an incredibly talented breeder as well as a serious student of the breed; I would recommend her to ANYONE looking for a quality GSD puppy. Sandy is and has always been willing to share her knowledge with anyone who wants to learn. Personally, I consider her to be the top breeder in North America.

Our family first contacted Sandy in August 2020 about buying a puppy through her. She was very responsive at first and we were able to go out twice (once just my partner and I, and once with my step daughter) to meet the current puppies. She advised that we would be put on a wait list after paying a deposit and she would contact us when a puppy was available and could not guarantee when that would be, but it would likely be 4-6 months. We had no problem with this and paid the deposit.Sandy was able to answer all our questions and was obviously extremely knowledgeable about the dogs and the breed, the dogs seemed to be happy and were in well maintained pens.During the following 5 months I struggled to get ahold of Sandy for any kind of update - I tended to stick to emails as I didn't want to intrude on her day to day running of her business and often did not hear back. Given that no puppy had been offered yet, I didn't push harder than this to get a response assuming she was busy and that she would contact us when a puppy was available.In January I contacted Sandy again requesting an update and she advised I would be getting a puppy from the 3 week old or 1 week old litter she had. I responded that we were looking forward to confirmation and never received a response. In later February I messaged her again asking if we would be getting a puppy from the 1 week old litter she had promised previously and she responded that we would be getting one and they would be ready for pick up March 2nd. My partner and I again visited the business and picked out 2 puppies that we liked and told her those would be our favourites, but we were okay with any male puppy. We asked to bring our step daughter back with us a different day during February and were told no because the vet was there checking the puppies out.We planned with Sandy to pick up the puppy on March 5th at 1:30PM and started counting down the days with our 11 year old step daughter who was over the moon excited. On March 4th at 2:54PM Sandy emailed us advising that the puppy she set aside for us had medical issues and she could no longer give him to us, and that all the other puppies were spoken for so we no longer had a puppy for pick up the following day. She offered first pick of the next litter (to be born at the end of March and picked up at the end of May).We decided to go with a different option at this point due to the struggles with communication we had and the last minute loss of the puppy with Sandy and the time that it had taken by that point. We were able to come to a good resolution with Sandy with the situation which we are very thankful for.Ultimately, Sandy knows her dogs extraordinarily well and will be able to answer any and all questions you may have, and I am sure the dogs from there are great, but the customer service can be a struggle at times and our experiences through the last 7 months led us to deciding to bring our business elsewhere.

I Have not the pleasure of meeting Sandy Anderson the owner/breeder of Woodside German Shepherds in person. But I am so gratefully of her for allowing me the privilege of adding another beautiful and wonderful part to my family.As a owner of multiples German shepherds and have had various past US, CA and International Champions. I can say Sandy has pick one or the best for me and family.I love my Woodside puppy and I am so happy to know that Sandy Anderson is only a phone call or message away if needed or any question, concern or advisee.I am looking forward for my puppy to be on the ring!!

Sandy was amazing! Her kennels were clean, her property is beautiful and she has a full staff caring for her Shepard s. We got a clean, healthy, happy puppy and I highly recommend Woodside to anyone and everyone looking fora champion dog! Her knowledge and experience are second to none.

We met Sandy through a previous owner and a neighbor to us. Our German Shepherd adopted me right away. She is now over four years old, and we are talking about being adopted by another German Shepherd girl.Our girl has 2 acres of running room, and soon we will be on a 27 acre parcel.

My husband and I have owned 3 Woodside dogs over the years. They are the best dogs we have ever owned! Sandy's kennels are beautiful and the dogs are well cared for. I have recommended her dogs to our friends and some have purchased dogs from her. I would highly recommend this kennel to purchase a puppy or an older dog. You can't go wrong with Woodside!

Thanks Sandy. I'm a single mom of four children's . We were so desperate for a puppy. I contacted Sandy last October where i gave her deposit. She told me exactly puppy will be born around 23 December and after 8 weeks we can bring our puppy home. Last Saturday we brought our Hazel home happily. People you guys should understand Sandy as she has to pick up phone and do paper work as well. You trust Sandy give her time. You keep trying calling her and eventually she will reply . keep calling as she receive too many calls. I was in her office while she was doing paper work and the phone kept ringing. Thanks so much Sandy. Our house is filled up of joy and happiness. Our Hazle is so cute. Her staff as well is very welcoming and always a smile.Hazle is a very energetic, happy and friendly dog.
