People love the promise of a wonderful family pet, so they get a dog to enrich their lives. It doesn’t always work out as hoped.
When it goes wrong, the breeder is largely or at least partly responsible.

If you are worried about this, you’ve come to the right place. We are Stony Lonesome GSD. We’re on your side.

We lovingly and painstakingly

In the first week, Onyx has already figured out we always put on flip flops when we take him outside and started bringing us one when he has to potty. He is a perfect balance of frisky and loving!

enrich each of our pups

GSD pups of any age can easily learn good bite-control and good manners with you, just as they do with their mother – you just have to do a couple of things consistently. Poorly started German Shepherd pups will use their teeth on people like they do on each other. It hurts, and is a bad harbinger.

to give him or her the best start

One year old!!!! Waffles has brought me so much happiness I didn’t know I needed. I love him more than words can say.

at becoming the copilot you’re looking for.

We are so grateful for Stony Lonesome GSD. Not only do we have our amazing pup added to the family from the experience but we’re also a part of a shared community of individuals who love German shepherds. I was a rookie going into this but I got incredible support from Judy and Brian from beginning to end. These people are not your typical breeders-they care immensely and that makes all of the difference.

"Roxy is simply the best puppy ever. We Love her gentle approach with the grandkids and her personality is just precious. She is silly cute!"

"We have had multiple GSD from different breeders. Would say Stony Lonesome has been the best. The pups and parents are well taken care of and the temperament and health are amazing. Would highly recommend them because every aspect has been positive with them even after we have the pup. They actually care and want the best for everyone. We love our pup that we received from them earlier in the year!"

- Shaun & Hala from Pennsylvania, and Loki!
