Westside German Shepherds

We just recently received our cute west side edition this past February of 2023 and, she has truly stolen our hearts. Stephanie was an absolute joy to work with. My fiance & I did TONS of research prior to us getting a puppy and, Stephanie really checks all the boxes for what you want for a breeder and your pup! I really enjoyed her application process to getting a west side puppy. You fill out an application with a series of questions that goes through things like; owners occupation, yard information-fenced or not fenced, things you do for fun, female or male pup preference, and, also personality traits you would like in your future west side dog. She reviews it and picks your pup based on what you fill out. We didn't know which pup we were getting until the day before we received her. She does this to ensure she really gets to know each pup to match to each family. She really gets to know you as best as she can. She ensures potential owners are fully aware of what they are getting into and there is no surprises. I also feel like she makes sure her beautiful pups are going to great homes with not just any owner. She is very thorough and resourceful. She sends multiple updates until you get your pup which we really enjoyed reading. our west side pup is brave, social, loyal, playful, smart, and has a great temperament! We love our pup so much and we highly recommend West Side German Shepherds!

Our experience purchasing a German Shepherd from Westside German Shepherds exceeded expectations. Westside is a responsible breeder who is passionate about producing well-balanced, healthy pups. Westside is there for us even after we take our puppy home.Stephanie Doney (Steph) was great to deal with and answered all our questions professionally and quickly. Steph emailed us photos and updates after the pups were born so we were informed about their progress. We always looked forward to seeing new pictures of the puppies each week and hearing about our litter’s milestones – from their first attempts to crawl to their outdoor adventures around the farm. Steph and her family spend a lot of time, effort, and care socializing their pups before they go to their new homes. To help prepare families before they bring their puppy home, Steph emails families a guidebook containing her recommended food, toys, training school, etc. The fact our breeder took time to create a detailed guide shows the level of care that Westside provides families who choose one of their pups.Puppy pickups were carefully organized in advance and we were provided information on what to expect on pickup day and recommended toys/supplies to bring with us. Although some people prefer choosing their puppy, we trusted Steph to choose the pup that was right for us - and it has paid off immensely. The pup Steph selected for our family was the perfect fit. If you have concerns about the breeder choosing, rest assured Steph reviews each family’s profile (situation, needs, desired sex/temperament, etc.), spends hundreds of hours with each litter, and conducts temperament testing to ensure puppies/families are appropriately matched. Our pup adjusted very quickly and has the calm, gentle temperament we were hoping for.We have no regrets about getting our pup from Westside and look forward to many years of fun and companionship with our new family member. If you are looking for a quality German Shepherd breeder, look no further than Westside German Shepherds.

Stephanie was excellent at responding to any emails and questions. She obviously truly cares about providing a quality puppy that is well adjusted. She was very thorough in ensuring she matches the right puppy to owners, including phone calls to actually discuss various options and opinions. We are delighted with our puppy from Westside German Shepherds! Thanks again!

It had been 2 years since we lost our Sheltie and decided it was time to get another dog. The big question - what breed? We knew we could not replace our sweet Sheltie, so the search began. After time, we decided on a German Shepherd. We started looking at the different Breeders around. We ultimately kept coming back to Westside. We wanted a good family dog and I believe that is exactly what we have with our Westside Puppy. Stephanie is very knowledgeable about the breed, answered all our questions promptly and is extremely easy to deal with. I have to admit, when she told me she would be picking my puppy for me I didn’t know what to think, but after dealing with Stephanie I was confident that she would choose the right pup for us and she did not disappoint!From the moment we arrived to pick up our puppy you could tell this place was special. Stephanie’s son was busy helping look after puppy while we were there. She never made us feel rushed and provided more than ample time for questions and time for us to get use to our new puppy. You can tell that our puppy had countless hours spent with her.Our puppy has now been with us for two weeks. She has adjusted extremely well with her new family. She is a very quick learner, has the sweetest personality and just an all round beautiful pup. We couldn’t be happier with the pup Stephanie chose for us. She is the perfect fit for our family.Westside is very professional and passionate about their dogs and their breeding program. I would highly recommend Westside for anyone looking for a good family dog!Cheryl - Saskatchewan

Stephanie was responsive and reliable for emails and communication right from the beginning. She made sure our German Shepherd was right for us and we were right for the German Shepherd. Breeder is professional, reliable and we had a worry free experience from start to finish. I would definitely recommend!

We have had the most wonderful experience with Westside and Stephanie! Such a knowledgeable breeder who sets you up for ownership success with all her helpful information in her puppy manual. Also willing to answer any questions you might have after you take your new family member home. Such a caring facility with great puppy socialization and care. I can't say enough about the wonderful care. And talk about a smart puppy! Great breeding lines!

We got our pup from Westside in August and couldn't be happier. She is beautiful, gentle, and intelligent - truly far beyond smart". She is a wonderful addition to our family and I believe she is a wise "old soul". Our experience with Stephanie has been so great....she is knowledgeable

It's kind of like that old commercial I liked the shaver so much

We have a special love for the German Shepherd dog. They are a majestic, proud, intelligent and dignified animal. My father raised them and when I grew up I knew I wanted one for my family. We spent an enormous amount of time researching a breeder and knew we needed to be extremely judicious in whom we chose. We had a young, busy family and 2 rescue animals already in place so we wanted a breeder that would understand what we wanted and could provide a strong, healthy, well bred, intelligent pup with a good value proposition. We stumbled upon Westside German Shepherds and were captivated by the boys and girls in their stable". The Westside Shepherds are stunning in all ways and all from established and successful lines. We reached out to Stephanie for more information. She was very responsive and eager to begin a discussion. I should note that responsiveness from breeders is not always a given so this was a good start. We began an email dialogue with her and over the course of the next few months spent hours by email and phone discussing plans for our pup and musing about everything from the German Shepherd Breed to politics to life in general. Stephanie was patient
