Vylano GSD was established in 2015 by myself Laura Jayne as a hobby breeder of both long and short coat German Shepherd Dogs. Over the years I have competed and titled several dogs in a number of different canine sports.

Breed showing at open and championship level, IGP & Competitive Obedience.

Our aim is to breed German Shepherds that conform to the standard, are fit for function and are sound in body and mind. We aim to achieve this by using a combination of some of the best working & show lines available from both the UK and Europe. Our puppies are suitable for those looking for an active intelligent family pet, a hobby sport home (WT, IPO, Obedience etc) or to those wishing to show.

​

We are not a commercial dog breeding facility. All of our dogs live in the home and are our pets first and foremost.

We occasionally have a litter combining some of the best available show & working lines in order to breed a GSD that conforms to the standard, is fit for function and is sound in body and mind. Bringing beauty and brains together! 

​

Each litter is carefully planned and checked by the breed health co-ordinator prior to mating and our litters are lavishly reared in the home with no expense spared. We follow the puppy culture guide which is an intensive socialisation & habituation programme. We start as soon as the puppies are born right through until they leave us for their new homes. Puppies are introduced to a huge range of different sounds and places as well as being introduced to our other animals; sheep, ducks, cattle and cats.

We start early training with toileting, resource guarding, clicker training and recall.

 

We believe health is paramount when breeding so all of our dogs are health tested above and beyond the KC recommendations.

All of our dogs are hip scored, elbow scored, DNA tested and from 2021 checked for LTV (transitional vertebrae).

 

If you have any questions about our dogs or either breed in general please do not hesitate to get in touch.
