OUR HISTORY

Where Our Name Came From

In the spring of 2016, my husband and I moved to a very rural piece of land in beautiful southern Kentucky. We literally started from the ground up, clearing our land and planning a dream that Yah (God) had put in our hearts for some time: to build our homestead and start a Set Apart breeding program.
 

One morning, while reading The Word, God gave me the name and full vision for Our Shepherd's Shepherds. We aimed to set ourselves apart from other breeders through our genetics and future pedigree goals and plans, by working diligently to produce reliable and suitable Dutchies for both working and non-working homes. Our goal was to breed quality working dogs with the best genetics possible.

GETTING STARTED

The First FCI
Dutch Shepherds

After four years of studying and conversing with breeders overseas, we decided to go with working line Romanian and Dutch bloodlines. We observed excellent nerve and workability in the lineages we chose, along with outstanding calmness and shutdown abilities.

​

We decided to import our first set of FCI Dutch Shepherds and have been captivated by these lineages ever since—for both working and non-working homes. From a long distance overseas, we worked together to carefully select each import to add to our selective breeding program, and we could not be happier. Since several pairings and breedings, we have created a fantastic all-around, genetically sound dog highly capable of any task or job.

 

From Tier 1 working dogs for police or military to family protection dogs and family companions, we have produced several service dogs for veterans and excellent scent dogs—our owners are very satisfied with their Dutch Shepherds!

RESEARCH, PROTECT, & GROW

Breed Development

We poured years of research, development, and hardwork in selecting the best bloodlines we could find in the world and are so proud of what our OSS dogs have become and continue to achieve. We continue to improve, realign and refine our breeding program to support and promote this amazing working line and breed.
