How We Work Get In Touch

Testimonials

Katie is a fantastic breeder who really cares about the welfare of her dogs. Our Oscar is now 13 months old, he has the best temperament of any dog I’ve owned. He’s incredibly friendly and keen to learn. Katie sends each pup out into the world with a fantastic care package for those first few days and is always on hand with advice. I truthfully can’t praise Shawhead Shepherds highly enough.

Top notch german shepherds! Absolutely outstanding breeders.The money is the last thing on their minds,welfare and standards come first and formost.not many breeders like katie and her husband out there. Ive purchased a pup and have already put a deposit on another im that impressed by them! Cant recommend them enough!

I collected my pup just under 2 weeks ago from Katie, he has fit straight in with my other dog and has so much confidence. He is a beautiful looking pup and his personality is perfect! Great communication from the start and always on hand for any extra advice. Fantastic pups from a fantastic breeder!

I would recommend Shawhead Shepherds as one of the best breeders of excellent looking dogs and pups. The aftercare is second to none, 100 percent a fantastic breeder.

Superb - Katy really cares and understands the breed. Our new pup is so intelligent and loving, can't fault anything.

We can't recommend Katie/Shawhead Shepherds enough. It's obvious how much they care about their dogs and ensuring their pups go to loving owners.

We collected a happy, healthy pup, who has grown into a happy, healthy dog.

Katie was great to deal with, providing us with all the support and advice we could need. As we lived so far away, she was also brilliant at sending us update pics and videos so we could see our pup develop.

I would firstly for most like to thank Katie for letting us be Loki owners we got a black GSD. He’s 8 months now and what star he’s been loki is just a easy going pup from the start no problems with anything he’s our world. I would highly recommend Shawhead GSD.

Katie you're a wonderful caring person xx

Peter and I were lucky enough to be chosen to adopt a 4 year old GSD called Major. We would definitely recommend Katie as she was so very helpful in finding us Major and answered our questions. Lovely lady who genuinely cares about GSD's.

Excellent Knowledgeable Breeder - Excellent service from Katie @ Shawhead Shepherds from first contact through to collecting our pup. Katie is a knowledgeable breeder who provides updates and support from birth to collection and beyond. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shawhead Shepherds.
