Upcoming Van Meerhout German Shepherd Litters

Our puppies are all raised in a home environment. They are used to all types of surfaces, noises and day to day commotion.

Our philosophy is to strive to produce the finest working German Shepherd Dogs in the world. Mental and physical health is our number one criteria. We strive to produce driven, versatile athletes that have good focus and are able to switch from an excited drive state to a calm relaxed demeanor. We believe that our dogs should be able to be top performers in the field and superior family companions in the home.
