Our Story

A Legacy of
Excellence & Loyalty.

Moorehaus Kennels was founded on a simple principle: to preserve the integrity of the West German Showline German Shepherd.

We are dedicated to producing healthy dogs with clear minds, stable temperaments, and the correct conformation as set by the German SV standard.

The Moorehaus Look

Exclusively Long Coat
West German Showlines

We specialize strictly in long coat shepherds. We believe the long coat variety captures the majestic elegance of the breed while maintaining the robust structure required for work and play. Our dogs are known for their deep red pigment, substantial bone structure, and luxurious coats that turn heads wherever they go.

The Gold Standard

Adhering to the
German SV Standard

We do not breed for trends; we breed for the standard. Every Moorehaus dog is bred according to the strict guidelines of the Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde (SV). This ensures correct angulation, sound movement, and the physical capability to perform. We prioritize hip and elbow health, ensuring our dogs live long, pain-free lives.

Behind Moorehaus

Hi, I'm Amanda

My journey with German Shepherds began over 20 years ago. What started as a fascination with their intelligence and loyalty quickly turned into a lifelong passion for preserving the breed.

At Moorehaus Kennels, I am personally involved in every aspect of our dogs' lives—from whelping and socialization to training and showing. My goal is simple: to provide families with the same joy and companionship that these dogs have given me.

"We don't just breed dogs; we raise family members."
Amanda
The Moorehaus Way

More Than Just a Kennel

We believe that a superior German Shepherd is built on a foundation of genetics, but shaped by their environment.

Home Raised

Our puppies are not raised in outdoor kennel runs. They are whelped and raised inside our home, surrounded by the sights and sounds of daily life. This ensures they are comfortable in a family setting from day one.

Early Socialization

We utilize Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and expose puppies to various surfaces, sounds, and people. They interact with children and other animals to build confidence and stability.

Premium Care

Our dams and puppies are fed a high-quality diet to support optimal growth. We follow a strict deworming and vaccination schedule under the guidance of our reproductive veterinarian.

"Cannot recommend this breeder enough! Since the day I started communicating with Amanda she was able to answer every question. Amanda was amazing while I waited the 7 weeks before I got my baby, sending me pictures daily! 💕 I am overly happy with our new Zaira girl — she is so smart, mellow, and happy. Thank you again for everything, Amanda!"

"I can easily give this kennel a 5-star rating. Right from Day 1 the communication with Amanda was awesome! As soon as we picked out our puppy (Daisy), we received a photo of her every day 💕 All we had to do was pay for our furbaby and Amanda did the rest — we didn’t have to book our flight to get her from Ontario to NL; it was all done for us by Amanda.

We received our girl at St. John’s Airport in a kennel that was the perfect size. She came smelling wonderful, vet checked, with her papers and first set of shots. Daisy is now 4 months old and a very happy puppy. She has a large brain, obeys many commands already, and is very socialized with other dogs. She is a pleasure, and we are so lucky to have found this kennel!"

"Thank you Amanda & Scott for our precious little pup! I was in contact with Amanda from the day we sent an inquiry. She’s open and transparent about everything. I had hundreds of questions and she answered every single one with detail. She guided us to our pup through temperament based on our two young kids.

I loved how ENS was introduced as well as crate & potty training. You can tell how much they love the puppies like one of their own. We were fortunate enough to live close by and got to visit weekly & meet mama as well. Amazing breeders who truly care about their dogs."

"Highly recommended! Got my male GSD, Milo, from Amanda. Milo is gorgeous, huge, and very loving! Amanda is easy to communicate with, even for the small questions I have. Thankful to her because Milo completed my family."

"I purchased a 6-month-old GSD from Amanda Moore. Maverick is such a beautiful, well-balanced GSD. He is calm, very attentive, and eager to please. He has such a gentle disposition with my grandkids. Amanda personally took the time to train Maverick in his basic commands, leash walking, and desensitization. She is quick to respond to any questions or needs we may have regarding Maverick. I highly recommend getting a GSD from Amanda Moore."
