KENNEL PROFILE
Shewana Shepherds is a well-established breeding kennel with over 35 years experience in developing the German Shepherd Dog. We are professional breeders licensed in the State of Illinois by the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Animal Health. In addition, all of our dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) and are in good standing. Moreover, all of our dogs are DNA-certified in compliance with AKC regulations regarding frequently-used sires. Lastly, Shewana Shepherd’s Breeding Program supports the use of Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) certification, and as young dogs come of age (24 months), they are regularly being presented for certification.
The Shewana Shepherd’s kennel facility is located in Northern Illinois, just south of the Wisconsin State line. It is situated on 40 acres of beautiful rolling meadows. The property is surrounded by over 500 acres of naturally wooded conservation land. The land is irrigated by two natural streams, and has a 2 ˝ acre pond, which our dogs frequently use to cool themselves on hot summer days.
KENNEL FACILITIES
Our dogs are housed in the comfort of two large, separate kennel barns. The newest of which was completed in 2002. This barn contains a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled whelping facility (nursery), exercise area, puppy play room and socialization center. In addition, our original kennel barn has been renovated in 2003 to include insulated walls and newly custom-built kennels. Most recently we have added a fully equipped grooming & care center. We strive to keep our facilities updated as frequently as required.
