Welcome to Aldercrest German Shepherds. Peter and I have been involved with dogs for as long as we can remember. We both grew up with dogs who were our best friends and loving companions. Our mutual love of dogs is deeply rooted, through generations of our families, and from years of raising the numerous dogs we lived with. Our first dogs together were a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever named Keji and a Lab mix named Ranger. However, our passion has always been the German Shepherd Dog. So when we were finished having our family, which consists of four children, we knew it was time to pursue our dream....and Aldercrest was born. Our goal is to produce German Shepherd Dogs that are sound in mind as well as in body. In order to achieve this goal, our dogs are x-rayed clear hips and elbows, and health checked before breeding and our puppies are very well socialized before going to their "forever" homes. The dogs we like to have represent the breed must be of very sound temperament. This is extremely important to us. Our commitment is to breed to the standard and to strive to better the German Shepherd Dog in temperament and health, as well as in movement and structure. We remain committed to our Goals by carefully researching the lines, or combination of lines, behind every breeding and by growing out and carefully observing selected puppies from our litters. We are determined to breed away from the faults, temperament and health issues, as well as the structural defects that have plagued this breed in the past.  All our dogs and puppies are raised in the home with our family, and are an every day part of our lives. This is where the whole family gets involved in developing well rounded dogs that are prepared to meet anything life has to offer. We carefully select and screen our puppy buyers and are always available to offer help and support to those new families...our love and commitment to our puppies does not stop at the door. We stand behind our dogs 100% with a written contract and Guarantee against congenital defaults!    We are members in good standing with:     The Canadian Kennel Club      The German Shepherd Dog Club of America     The German Shepherd Dog Club of Canada Please take a moment and browse through our site and meet our German Shepherd family.
