Welcome to Clarknberg Kennel, a small, dedicated hobby breeder of German Shepherd Dogs located in beautiful British Columbia. Our breeding program focuses on both German working lines and American show lines, with every pairing planned to meet CKC, AKC, and SV breed standards.
At Clarknberg, we believe a truly exceptional German Shepherd begins with a balanced foundation.
Our breeding dogs are selected for:
Solid nerves and stable temperaments
Correct structure and sound conformation
Appropriate prey, retrieve, and tracking drive
Clear-headed intelligence and strong trainability
All of our breeding dogs are titled or proven in their work abilities and are fully health tested, ensuring every puppy begins life with the strongest possible genetic and structural foundation.
Our dogs live inside our home, and puppies are raised as part of our family. They grow up around a diverse range of animals—including parrots, ferrets, cats, and livestock such as horses, sheep, cows, and poultry—giving them early exposure that builds confidence and adaptability.
We incorporate Puppy Culture protocols to promote resilience, problem-solving, and positive early development. This structured start helps our puppies transition smoothly into their new homes and adjust to everyday life with ease.
Clarknberg Kennel is proud to offer in-home training, with special focus on Service Dog tasks and Obedience. Puppy buyers may choose to extend their puppy’s stay for additional training or participate in virtual coaching through Skype. For families wishing to send adult dogs back for training or schedule in-person sessions, we offer flexible, individualized programs to support every stage of the journey.
Whether you’re seeking a family companion, a service prospect, or a dog with working potential, we are committed to supporting you for the lifetime of your dog. Our goal is to place confident, well-socialized puppies into homes that share our dedication to responsible ownership and ongoing communication.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our upcoming litters, training programs, or breeding philosophy, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to connecting with you and helping you find the right German Shepherd for your home and lifestyle.
