South Carolina Old Fashioned German Shepherd Breeder

Sprague's German Shepherds is a small family run kennel. We are devoted to raising old fashioned type (straight back), mild-tempered German Shepherd Dogs that first and foremost make exceptional companions but are also capable of doing obedience competition, agility, scent work, service work, search & rescue and more. Our dogs are all registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). Our dogs are x-rayed and certified through the orthopedic foundation for animals (OFA) and they are also PennHip certified. We participate in conformation shows through the United Kennel Club and have several champions. We also enjoy doing scent work & obedience work with our dogs!

Knowledge in raising the finest puppies

There is more to producing amazing puppies than just careful selection in breeding. We strive to produce perfection in the way we nourish, train and enrich our puppies lives from birth. What sets us above the rest is the enrichment we provide for our litters. We go the extra mile to make sure that our puppies have the best start in life as possible. We focus on quality over quantity by never having more then 2 litters at a time. We have been raising these magnificent dogs for over 20 years.

Located in beautiful South Carolina

We are located in the beautiful midlands of South Carolina. We are easily accessible from Columbia, Charleston, Myrtle Beach & Greenville areas as well as East coast states such as North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Alabama, etc. We have puppies all around the US from California to New York and even one in the UK!

Coat lengths & Colors

We have short coat & long coat german shepherds in our breeding program (contrary to popular belief long coats to do not shed more than a short coat!). We have traditional colors like black & tan, sable & solid black as well as some non-traditional colors such as white, blue, liver & isabella. A beautiful unique color is just icing on the cake of an already exceptional dog. Our non-traditional color lines have some of the highest hip ratings in the US!

We hope you enjoy looking around our website and getting to know about us, our dogs and the unique way we raise our puppies! Visits are by appointment only.

November 2021 Update: We have moved from California to the South Carolina! If you are in California and want a puppy from us we can still make it happen as we can deliver! I hope this won't deter families from wanting a puppy from us as we still plan on raising the same amazing pups we always have we'll just be in a different state ;)

My husband got this made for me in 2016. It has all our dogs past & present <3
