Jeff & Rhonda both had the opportunity to be raised around German Shepherds. When their world came together in 2004 they realized how much they loved and respected the German Shepherd breed. They decided in 2007 to move forward with their breeding program.

For the first two years, they focused on learning the pedigrees of Germany’s top bloodlines. In 2009 they established themselves as Roche’s German Shepherds and began their new adventure in the breeding world, only working with the worlds best trainers, importers and breed specialists.

The Roche’s German Shepherd dogs are sought after for family protection, companionship, workability, and for use as search and rescue dogs.

Although we no longer show our adult dogs or puppies, in confirmation/show, we still as breeders carefully select the genetics that will imbue our puppies with the greatest potential.

Producing only three liters of puppies per year allows us to spend a great deal of time assisting the puppies in the development. We utilize an early neurological stimulation program to create Super Dogs. Its in the early development that a puppy emerges with his/her personality. It is this critical period, in which pups must be nurtured and developed to assist in the formulation of what the puppy will become for the rest of their life.

Today, all four children have grown and have pursued different careers. One son loves the breed, gave him the opportunity to train K-9’s for the Marines today.

Our puppies are never flown, unless the puppies can travel by coach with the owner, which has been the case many times. Back in 2019 we had a family fly in from North Dakota in their personal plane to pick the puppy up and then flew back to North Dakota. Today we have puppies in California, Texas, Missouri, Indiana, New York, Illinois, North Dakota, and our home state Wisconsin.

Thank you for considering Roche’s German shepherds for your next puppy. To all the previous family puppy buyers who send us family photos and progress reports as the puppy grows and develops, thank you for making the dream work.

Roches’s German Shepherd bloodlines include:  Zamp Vom Thermodos, Vegas du haut Mansard, Odin vom Holtkamperhof and Remo vom Fichtenschlag among many others.

Every year, the World German Sieger Show is held in Germany. The show recognizes the top dogs from around the world.  Each of the aforementioned bloodlines has been rated as VA 1 every year. This is the highest honor available for German Shepherds.  Roche’s German Shepherds are very proud to have these bloodlines as the foundation for all Roche puppies.

Only German Shepherd puppies of sound health and stable temperament can achieve a high level of training.  Solid character, strong nerves, and excellent health make our German Shepherd puppies excellent family companions as well.

Roche’s German Shepherds is proud to be the premier professional dog breeder in Wisconsin.
