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.

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”. 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. My conformation show dogs over the years had 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!
So here I am today, completely loving training and competing in obedience, tracking & protection with the long coat working line German Shepherd Dog!


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.
