Sarah, Shana and Robbie are the epitome of professional when it comes to working line dogs. For a few months I had been lurking their website looking for a new partner in crime. I was very focused in on Demi during this time. When I finally mustered up the courage to call them, I had a great short conversation with Shana and they invited me to come out to the farm to have a visit. Upon my arrival they talked to me about my experience with these very incredible animals and after a few minutes they said that Demi likely wasn’t a good fit for my family and our lifestyle and said I should be introduce to Foxi. Well let it be known Shana and Sarah are experts in every facet of understanding the dogs they raise and train. Foxi is officially the newest member of our family and is everything and so much more in a dog and companion. Sarah took the time to give us some lessons and teach us about Belgian Malinois and how to work with these dogs and understand them. Don’t be fooled by her age, Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable and nothing short of an expert when it comes to training these dogs (and their new humans). Overall I could not be more pleased with my experience, if you are interested in getting a malinois that is very well trained, healthy and obedient. I could not recommend a better company to work with. Side note, if you’ve never had a malinois or worked with them I highly suggest you take the time to get some lessons. It will absolutely make your experience and the transition to your new best friend coming home that much better!!! 10/10 can’t say enough good things. Thank you CR Sheperds.

Our family had a deposit on a male pick of litter. We decided to visit their farm about seven weeks after the litter was born. We met Shana and Sarah and their beautiful dogs. We felt very much at home from the initial phone call and more so upon actually meeting them in person. We completely fell in love with a dog from a previous litter named Heidi and decided to purchase her. We decided to have Heidi complete the basic training package. These skills are absolute game changers. She is great on leash and with basic commands and has no difficulty with the use of her crate. However, she had some aggressive issues with other dogs and children. Mila to the rescue!!!! Sarah is the master trainer. What a gem!!! She brought her awesome dog Mila for some social time with Heidi one on one. I am amazed that In only one short session Heidi's attitude changed significantly. Sarah is very sweet, patient and is extremely knowledgeable in dealing with these breeds. A game changer!!! Thanks for everything!!!

I have a 6month German Shepherd named Stella, that has issues with anxiety and speration and I wasn't able to manage the issues properly, she needed to be leash trained (on and off leash), and improving her consistency of following commands. Brought her to Sarah and left Stella with them for a month, was so hard to not have my pup for a month but it was SO WORTH IT! if I ever need to get future training I'm using CR Shepherds! Thank you so much Sarah!

CR Shepherds was introduced to me by Instagram thro puppy Loki. I scheduled a play date with them because I was in the area for my son's disc golf tournament. We Have a 13 month old German malinois and were trying to get her more socialised with other dogs. Plus they gave me some great advice on things to help with my training and recommended a trainer closer to where I live.

I don’t even know where to begin. Shana from the beginning was very prompt to answer my call regarding the pups I was interested in. She was very informative about the breed and we scheduled a time for me to visit the farm. I know from getting to know her she truly truly cares for her dogs and would not sell them to just anyone. She was very informative and showed me both parents and we took the time to find the right puppy I was looking for. I am truly impressed in how they raise the pups and all their dogs and how they care for them. Words can’t even describe what a blessing my new pup has been not only to me but to my whole family. I am truly grateful for Shana for taking the time to listen and help me find the right puppy. Most of all am very grateful for Shana making sure her puppies find the right homes and that she takes the time to inform the person on the breed. Truly shows she cares for her dogs and wants the best for them. I will definitely be back in the future and 100% recommend CR Shepherds to anyone looking for a German Shepherd or Malinois X. Thank you again Shana.
