North 40 German Shepherds ☰ Boise & Fairfield Idaho

About Us

We’ve decided to stop our German Shepherd breeding program. Our love for these incredible dogs remains as strong as ever, and we’re committed to helping others connect with them. Whether you’re looking for the right shepherd puppy or exploring the rewarding path of rehoming, we’re here to offer guidance and support

We understand that many of you dream of bringing home an AKC registered German Shepherd puppy, and we totally respect that choice. But, we also encourage you to consider the incredibly fulfilling option of rehoming or adopting an adult German Shepherd. You might be surprised by the number of these beautiful dogs in need of a new home for reasons completely unrelated to their behavior. From family dogs to those with special rehoming needs, there's a perfect match out there waiting for a loving family like yours.

To help you get started, here are some German Shepherd rehoming organizations you might consider. These are all no kill organizations:

Please also check the nØkill Network, a resource connecting people with no-kill shelters throughout all 50 U.S. states, Canada, and beyond, helping more animals find safe, loving homes.

Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions or need help.

Looking for a Breeder?

If you're interested in getting an AKC-registered puppy or adult, I highly recommend Calico Junction Long Coat German Shepherds. Our last breeding female was from Calico Junction and she is amazing. The owner, Nancy, does a great job breeding shepherds for family, therapy, and service rolls and she is passionate about health screening. Calico Junction sometimes has adult shepherds available at prices lower than I've seen elsewhere.

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me, they are the role model for being alive.”

Calico's Bella Vom Lieb

After a lifetime of having Shepherds, Bella is what I consider the exemplary specimen of what a service/family-oriented temperament should be. An amazing dog who will likely produce the same sort of high-quality offspring. Full genetic screening, DM carrier-free, and OFA-certified hips.
