Dog breeding must be done by a dog-lover and cannot be a profession. The work of breeding service dogs must be the work of dog-lovers for they have the desire to breed for exemplary, efficient and useful dogs -Max v. Stephanitz, founder of the German Shepherd.

Leisdear German Shepherds Leisdear German Shepherds is a very small "kennel" dedicated to the "Golden Middle" standard of the German Shepherd Dog. Owned by Courtney Fletcher. Although I have just started my own breeding program I am not new to German Shepherds and have spent years studying GSD books and visiting shows and kennels. I finally had the opportunity to actually start my dream and bought my first breeding quality GSD in the summer of 2004. German Shepherds are my hobby and passion, they are not my business, I do not profit from my dogs. The money from the stud fees and selling puppies goes right back into the care, training and trialing of my dogs. I continue to learn everyday and am committed to breeding from the best bloodlines world wide.Someday in the future Leisdear German Shepherds plans to reside on a large sheep farm and live how a German Shepherd was truly born to live...tending sheep. Love those South African Dorpers!
