RIDGELINE SHEPHERDS

We are the Fender family: Nick, Jessica and our 3 daughters: Kelsey, Katie & Kylee.

We are a family of five, living in a small, rural town in Western Arkansas. We purchased our 80 acre homestead in 2020 an plan on building our forever home and custom kennel within the next few years. 

We've taken the leap of faith to start our own small kennel in early 2020 after many years of research, mentorship, watching, and learning and studying pedigrees. Learning from mistakes and mistakes of others, we are constantly adjusting our program to better it and this amazing breed. 

We train our dogs with basic obedience, setting the ground work for further training in various sport/protection programs. Striving for excellence, with each litter produced.

 We produce well bred, working line German Shepherds, while being a reputable German Shepherd breeder, producing excellent temperament, well rounded, clear headed, strong nerved pups for various needs in the community. 

We take pride in our dogs and pups. No cutting corners or taking the cheapest route in our care for our dogs. All of our dogs are apart of our family first. Our pairings aren't just thrown together to produce "some pups", Our mission is to produce stable, sound, and versatile working line German Shepherds that excel as active family companions with the genetic potential for personal protection. We prioritize temperament, trainability, and structural integrity to ensure each dog is confident, capable, and trustworthy in both the home and real-world working environments.

Our pups go home confident, partially (or fully) crate and potty trained, fully vetted and ready to start their training, with lifetime breeder support. 

If you're searching for that perfect pup, give us a chance to provide you with a working line puppy, that will be a perfect fit for you and your family in our upcoming litters.
