Testimonials from our Pine State Shepherd Families 💜

"Hi Morgan, Louie is an awesome puppy! He is very intelligent, well behaved and loving us and his new home. And he is fully potty trained, on day 1! This is because of all the love, time and training that you spent with him. We are so proud of our boy, he sleeps all night now, with no mistakes, and happily goes out first thing in the morning. Thank you 😊"

"Storm is one of the most impressive puppies, I’ve ever seen. The hard work and training you put in, before she came home is so evident! She is great with the children in the home, knows basic commands, and is almost already completely crate and house trained on day 1! She is a huge cuddle bug, and rarely leaves my side. Thank you Pine State Shepards for what I anticipate to be, the PERFECT DOG🐾❤️"

"What can I say about Hank? He is a pure joy to have our family! He sleeps through the night. He has a fun and such a sweet personality. Coming home to him after work is the best....he is just as excited to see me as I am to see him! He's so smart and I'm very excited to start training him! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to have such a precious little boy! ❤️❤️❤️ He has brought so much light into this house! "

"We wanted a German Shepherd since we lost our male Shepherd Mose last winter at age 11. We found Pine State on Facebook and they had one pup left from the litter. What a little sweetie. He bought him one month ago and named him Boots. He is one of the best good natured shepherds we have ever had!! He's calm with our many grandkids and loves being at our side. He rides great in the car and loves to go to soccer and football games. He gets along great with our daughters two dogs as well. All around a great dog! Morgan is very wise and started us off with a simple training method  during meal time.  It has worked so well for Boots. We would definitely recommend Pine State Shepherds to anyone looking for a good family dog."

"@Pine State Shepherds
This is the place where I purchased  Liam. I had to put down my beautiful Shepherd Pandora  at 7.5 yo. I reached out to several breeders. When I reached out to Morgan she had a litter with two male puppies left out of 6.  I told her that I would like to have a service dog. She actually picked Liam out for me when I there to meet the pups.  I wasn't quite sure I liked that idea because I am used to picking out what I buy, right? Morgan's reasoning as to why she picked out "Kringle" for me, was that he is not afraid to investigate, and he is the first one to go up to see something new. I can not explain or express how correct she was/is because Liam is the right dog for me. Liam stayed two extra weeks to work on potty training,  crate training,  being out in public [neutrality], place, sit, down, off...  I brought Liam home at 10 weeks old.  He has had around 5 potty accidents,  which were my fault.  He cried in the crate maximum of 10 min., he honestly was bonding with me, and trusted me very quickly. By the way, Morgan actually actually training you, but don't tell her I told you that secret!! Lol. Liam is 12 was old in these pictures. Morgan answers every message,  her contract is very professional,  she has a wealth of knowledge that she is willing to share, and she is very patient with me and all the dogs. I highly, highly, recommend her as a trainer and purchasing a dog.  They are genetically tested, receive all vet checks, and vaccinations.   You will not be sorry if you get a puppy from Pine State Shepherds" 

"Here's our beauty, Miss Chloe Noelle, Sister of Liam and Boots and very much like Boots in nature. She is so very sweet and smart, and is the coolest, calmest, non-reactive pup we've ever seen.  She's a gem in public settings and is great with kids and adults.  She already walks well on a loose leash.  Morgan made sure we got the female pup that would fit our lifestyle, and that's Chloe! She makes us laugh and smile every day. Morgan's approach to including future parents in visiting the pups from an early age was wonderful.  Setting up training for parents with their pups before final adoption was helpful, as well.

Morgan is a serious, knowledgeable, ethical, highly professional trainer and breeder of GSDs. Since adoption, She's provided home training (really, it's parent training!!) and has also provided vet-tech info and support on a few occasions, always making us feel like it was just part of the service package. 

We highly recommend Morgan and Pine State Shepherds."

"I cannot recommend Morgan and Pine State Shepherds highly enough! From the very beginning, she was responsive and knowledgeable. She kept me updated throughout the entire process with regular check-ins, photos, and information to make sure I felt involved and prepared.

Even after bringing my sweet puppy home, Morgan has been there to answer any questions and offer guidance. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the well-being of her puppies and their new families. My puppy is everything I could have hoped for!

If you’re looking for a responsible, ethical, and caring breeder, look no further than Pine State Shepherds. Morgan goes above and beyond, and I am so grateful to have found her!"

"Our journey is a little long and began about a year and a half ago when we decided to get a dog in hopes of training them to detect seizures. Enter Griffin, he is a GSD that was given to us by a family member at the age of 1 year. Unfortunately he is scared of my daughters seizures, but he turned into an amazing family dog and we quickly fell in love with the German Shepherd breed! Fast forward to now, we had been talking about getting  another baby because even though he’s happy I couldn’t help but feel Griffin was lonely. My boyfriend finally agreed we could get another baby but only if it was another GSD. Almost as if it were meant to be I saw that Mr. Yellow (now known as Phoenix) was still looking for a home. I immediately messaged Pine State Shepherds about him and within a cpl hrs we were there meeting him and it was love and first sight. My daughter sat down on the floor and Phoenix ran right over to her. Morgan happily answered any questions we had (and still continues to do so when other questions arise. She even explained to us how to actually train a dog to detect oncoming seizures. The process of everything went so smooth. We had no whining or crying during the ride home or at bed time. Hes only had 2 accidents in the house  both first thing in the morning while trying to get dressed to go outside. He has made the perfect addition to our family and now our hearts and home are full of love (and hyper dogs . Griffin and Phoenix are inseparable.  If you want someone who truly cares about the well being of her puppies we would highly recommend Morgan. Thank you Pine State Shepherds."

"We are so happy Jack has joined our family! He is a perfect fit! We are very thankful for the pictures and videos Morgan sent after we met Jack and were waiting to bring him home! We loved his temperament and loved his Mom Holly! We highly recommend Morgan and Pine State Shepherds!"

"We are very impressed with Pine State Shepherds and their commitment to raising  healthy, gorgeous, well tempered puppies. You can tell just by talking to Morgan, the incredible amount of love, care, and knowledge she puts into this. We can't recommend Pine State Shepherds enough! 

Horus has been a wonderful addition to our family! He's the perfect mix of energetic and calm, even the cat doesn't mind having him here. Despite being in the piranha phase, he's gentle and respectful with the kids, and is easily corrected if he gets carried away. He's incredibly smart and confident, making training so far easy and stress free. And should that change, we know we can reach out to Pine State Shepherds for training classes. 

We are absolutely smitten with Horus and excited to watch him continue to grow and learn with us! We have no doubt that he's going to be forever a good boy!"
