von Nummer-Eins: German Shepherd Breeders in Virginia
Based in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, von Nummer-Eins is a selective German Shepherd breeding program built around generations of our own dogs. We place equal importance on sound temperament, working ability, health and correct anatomy, with an emphasis on producing German Shepherds that are as capable in everyday life as they are in their ability to work. We breed German Shepherd puppies for families and individuals who appreciate the breed’s versatility and rich working heritage.
Nummer-Eins German Shepherd puppies are raised with individual attention to early development, socialization and qualities that make a German Shepherd a dependable companion. Unlike breeding programs importing dogs indiscriminately, we have developed our own motherline across successive generations. This allows us to evaluate not only the parents, but also the temperament, health, functional structure and working ability demonstrated throughout their family history.
