Our beautiful girl Anoshi is looking for a special retirement home. She’s a beautiful 7-year-old, housebroken, obedience trained female. Gets along with cats and small dogs as well as male dogs of any size, but can be quite dominant towards other adult large breed females. For this reason she would be best placed in a home that does not have one of those. She would need either a tall fence, or an underground fence system, as she does enjoy jumping fences. Super sweet disposition, loves to go for walks and runs, and play ball till your arm is tired. Don’t let her age fool you, she is very much still a puppy at heart. Rehoming fee and spay contract apply.
Available To You Now.

EXPERIENCED BREEDERS.
With over 40 years of combined experience, Upstate German Shepherds, led by founder Don Spear and seasoned breeder Jodi Hartman, specializes in breeding the renowned European German Shepherds. Don’s decades-long dedication, particularly 20 years focused on this majestic breed, led to the discovery of the longhair variant Shepherd, a journey that began with the union of Rommel and Mishka. Together, Don and Jodi merged their expertise and kennels, situated on Jodi’s expansive 14-acre property in Canisteo, NY. Jodi’s innate understanding of German Shepherds, honed over 20 years, complements Don’s expertise, guiding their meticulous breeding practices. Upholding the legacy of post-WWII bloodlines, they meticulously select pairings to ensure impeccable temperament and unwavering courage, prioritizing the well-being of each pup. Emphasizing companionship, their dogs reside in homes, not kennels, fostering vital human interaction essential for their intuitive nature. Their commitment to superior health, evidenced by DM-clear status and certified hip and elbow health, underscores their dedication to excellence. With a focus on impeccable disposition, impeccable health, and unwavering obedience, Upstate German Shepherds sets the standard for exceptional canine companionship and protection.
