We are currently reaching out to families interested in Luna and Oakley\u2019s upcoming litter. This will be Luna\u2019s first litter with Oakley, and we are very excited about this pairing. Oakley is a proven stud who has consistently produced beautiful, high-quality puppies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We anticipate rich, dark coloring from this combination, along with wonderful personalities. Oakley is known for his exceptionally calm, easygoing temperament, while Luna brings a loving, playful, and outgoing nature. We expect their puppies to inherit a great blend of these traits, making them affectionate companions and wonderful family dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are excited about the potential of this litter and look forward to sharing updates as we move forward. Thank you for your interest and continued support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xander will be bred with Gracie from a fellow breeder in Michigan in September 2026. I will be helping in the sale of these puppies since Xander is one of mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windy Acres Shepherds is located in the beautiful area surrounding Cresco, Iowa in the northeast of the state. This is south of Rochester, MN, southwest of LaCrosse, WI, and northeast of Des Moines. We are very proud to live here and raise such wonderful dogs as the German Shepherd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are breeding our shepherds to bring back what I call the “Old Time German Shepherd” that are loyal, trusting, and to be the wonderful family member I remember growing up. Producing pups that are smart, straight backed with large heads, big bone with protective but not aggressive temperaments. Our pups are healthy, outgoing and are handled every day from birth on. Raised with family in mind. We have standard, plush and long coats that are black\/red, black\/tans and occasionally solid blacks. They leave here with a written guarantee of health, hips and elbows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
