Shephaven German Shepherds NZKC registered German Shepherd Breeder Our dogs live in the house as much-loved members of our family. We've set high goals for our breeding program.

Located in Whakatane Bay of Plenty, NZ - visits welcome by appointment only. I believe Shepherds are a breed that should have it all... health, temperament, soundness, working ability and breed type. A lot of thought, careful planning, and intense research goes into each breeding. We do everything possible to ensure that our breeding will produce puppies that are genetically sound. Our breeding dogs are not a business asset to us, they are members of our family. All of our dogs live in the house, and we whelp and raise our litters in the house as well. Keeping the litter in our home with us ensures they are in a safe, secure, climate controlled area, and allows us to easily keep dam and pups under careful observation. As the pups age, it also affords us the opportunity to expose the pups a variety of normal household sounds and activities on a daily basis. Each puppy is given lots of individual care, love, and attention. Daily contact and stimulation is important to the neurological development of young puppies, therefore, each one is handled and socialized extensively. We also utilize techniques from the Puppy Culture program, which starts pups off on a great path to learning.

And as two leave the nest, one very special little girl stays behind. ❤️

Welcome to the Shephaven pack, Nike! 🥰🐾

❤️🐾 Our Beautiful Aussie Litter – 8 Weeks Old! 🐾❤️

Tomorrow our three beautiful Aussie babies, from Aust Ch Lettland Flint (IMP AUS)
× Bronboreo Coralie(IMP AUS) (Nova), turn 8 weeks old, and the time has come for them to start leaving the nest. 🥹❤️

Where have those eight weeks gone?

It has been such a pleasure raising these three special little souls. We feel incredibly lucky and privileged to have had the opportunity to use the beautiful Flint in our breeding programme. This litter has been a long-awaited dream, and although Nova only blessed us with three babies, they have certainly filled our hearts with so much love and happiness. ❤️

Our three little Aussie kids have been an absolute joy to raise, each with their own personality and a special place in our hearts.

🇦🇺 Brisbane – Shephaven Jekyll and Hyde, now known as Bentley 💚

🇦🇺 Perth – Shephaven Just Do It, our beautiful keeper girl, Nike 💕

🇦🇺 Sydney – Shephaven Jive With Xena, now known as Xena 💜

As Bentley and Xena prepare to leave us for their wonderful new homes, there will certainly be a few tears. It's never easy saying goodbye to babies you have loved and raised from their very first breath.

Thankfully, our little Nike will be staying right here at Shephaven, carrying on a little piece of this very special Aussie dream. ❤️

We wish Bentley and Xena a lifetime of love, happiness and adventures with their new families. We can't wait to follow their journeys and watch all three of our beautiful babies grow.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this very special litter possible, especially for the opportunity to use Flint. It truly means so much to us.

From Australia to New Zealand, a long-awaited dream became three very special little German Shepherds. 🇦🇺🇳🇿❤️

How did we go from 3 little kids to 3 BIG kids?! 🥹❤️🐾

Nova’s Aussie kids are growing up WAY too fast! One minute they were tiny little bundles, and the next they’re turning into cheeky, playful little characters with personalities of their own. 😍

Someone please slow time down! 🐾❤️🇦🇺
