At StaFra German Shepherd Dogs, we believe in quality above all else. Nestled on 22 beautiful acres in the heart of Anderson, South Carolina, our small kennel is dedicated to raising exceptional German Shepherds. We meticulously select our dogs for their outstanding bloodlines, focusing on sound temperaments, robust genetic health, excellent orthopedic ratings, and, of course, striking beauty. Our breeding program is a labor of love, driven by a deep commitment to producing dogs that embody the very best of the breed.
We’re passionate about working with our dogs firsthand. We train and title them in real-world scenarios and enjoy participating in sport venues as a rewarding outlet for both us and our canine companions. It’s a joy to see them thrive!
We take immense pride in our StaFra puppies and the wonderful families who welcome them into their lives. Our puppies are excelling in diverse areas, including obedience, protection, tracking, Search and Rescue (SAR), conformation, various dog sports, active family companionship, service work, emotional support, and more.
It’s truly fulfilling to witness their success and the joy they bring!!!!
Some History:
My love for the German Shepherd Dog began in 1989.
I got my first GSD Mix, “Keisha” and later, I was blessed to be able to get a trained, young, retired officer, a West Working-line GSD, “Eddie”. If you know me, I could take hours to describe what they meant to me!!
After those two amazing dogs, I never thought I would find another GSD like what I had. I never even tried to look at owning another GSD again until 2016.
In 1991, I opened my dog grooming business, StaFra Pet Resort & Spa. I met a friend with a tiny miniature American Eskimo puppy and that brought me head over heels into the breed that my mom had talked about all my life. My Mom also had American Eskimos her family as far back as we can trace to 1920!
Frank and I enjoyed over 20 years as breeders, owners, handlers showing and raising our own Toy & Miniature American Eskimo Dogs, producing some of the Top Conformation and #1 Agility Eskies in the USA, grooming and show handling many other dog breeds for other owners in the AKC & UKC Conformation show rings. Some of our past dogs you can see here at StaFra’s Retired Show Dogs
Fast forward…
Our American Eskimos over the years had retired and passed away, my children had grown and moved on their own, and my husband started working more away from home.
I found myself feeling that need for a large & nothing short of amazing protection dog again.
That led me back to the working line German Shepherd Dog!
I looked for a long time to find the type I wanted.
Dallas is our first GSD after all those years. Little did we know, she would spark that competitive side in me all over again.
So here I am today, still owning and operating my dog grooming and boarding business completely in love training, competing in obedience, tracking & protection with our beautiful long coat (LSH) working line German Shepherd Dogs!
My husband, Frank, is my biggest supporter of my love of dogs and has fallen in love with them too!!! “StaFra” is the name he came up with as a mix our names years ago. There was no need to come up with anything new. StaFra is used in our business, our past dogs and now with our GSDs. It is “Us”. We are in it together.

We are dedicated to raising and training our dogs for obedience, protection, tracking and raising our litters for active families, sport homes and service dogs. We are currently actively titling our dogs in AKC and WDA. We test all of our dog’s orthopedics: Hips, Elbows, etc. with OFA & SV. Our dogs’ ratings are Excellent, Good & Normal. & A stamped. We test all of our dogs & puppies with genetic tests using DNA tests with Embark Breeder Panel or AKC DNA + Health with before going to new homes and all of ours before breeding. Our dogs in our breeding program are all DM CLEAR and Clear non carriers for any genetic issues we test for with DNA.
Our goals for our breeding program are to preserve what we have in ours and always try to improve where we see needed in the health, temperament, working abilities and type.
Occasionally we have a few puppies and young dogs in training available. Take a look at our website for more info and contact us to reserve your next puppy or young adult.
