About Us

Hi! We’re Amanda and James Clark, and we’re glad you want to get to know us! We have three children, Reagan (5), Lincoln (2.5), and Harrison (4 months old). We are passionate about German Shepherds. We have had shepherds for over 25 years and have been breeding for 12 years. Our German Shepherd Puppies are bred for temperament, intelligence, agility and protection. They are born and raised on a working farm and socialized from a young age. They are accustomed to loud noises, human interaction and other dogs. Puppies come from a unique line of family and working dogs.

Each puppy is part of our family until they depart. We expect that they are cared for with excellence for the remainder of their lifespan and a good home is of utmost importance.

Our dams, “Gracie Mae Linhart” and “Lucy Linhart” are second-generation Stride Away Shepherds. as well as members of the family. Lucy has “good” hips/elbows through the OFA, is DM clear and is AKC registered. Gracie has “normal” hips/elbows through the SV, has a BH title, is AKC registered and is clear for DM.

The sire, “Ursus de Parayas” (Drogo) is our most recent import from Germany. Drogo has “normal” hips/elbows through the SV, is DM clear through the OFA, is registered with the AKC/CEPPA and has an IGP2 title. We imported the grandfather of the puppies, “Alvin Linhart” from the Czech Republic. Alvin had an IGP1 title, “normal” hips/elbows and was also DM clear. The combination of our working lines results in puppies that are superb with families but have the capability to go in any direction. Previous puppies have gone to police departments, fire departments, and as service dogs around the country.

Thank you for your interest in a Stride Away Shepherd for both your family and protection dog! We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.
