About Southernwind Kennels

Southernwind Kennels is a reputable breeding program with nearly 50 years of experience, focusing on German Shepherds. They emphasize breeding with a purpose, using top German bloodlines to ensure strong genetics. The kennels' breeding program is built on learning and sharing with top breeders in Germany, which helps maintain high standards.

Owners who have purchased puppies report loving, obedient, and intelligent dogs that are well-socialized. The dogs are known for their calm and sweet nature, and some are even very smart, able to learn commands like sit, come, and spell words such as go, outside, and ball. One dog even runs to a family member if a glucose monitor beeps, showing their alertness and loyalty. The kennels also prioritize the dogs' health and well-being, providing detailed veterinary paperwork and ongoing support to owners.

Cecelia, the breeder, is highly regarded for being conscientious and caring deeply about her dogs. She ensures her dogs are well-bred, beautiful, and smart, and she provides detailed information about the care, contracts, and parasite prevention. The process of purchasing a dog is educational, and her knowledge and support are available throughout the dogs’ lives. Southernwind Kennels is a trusted choice for those seeking a German Shepherd with excellent temperament, strong lines, and loving companionship.

I had a wonderful experience getting my GSD puppy from Southernwind. From the beginning, Ceci and Jen were knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly passionate about her dogs. My puppy is so handsome & intelligent, and he has such an amazing temperament.

I am so happy with my GSD and would absolutely recommend Southernwind to anyone looking for a quality, well-bred German Shepherd puppy!

Couldn’t have made a better decision picking Southernwind for our first GSD.

Every aspect of the process was a green flag. Responsible breeding, decades of experience and knowledge, learning resources for any and all questions available online, the list goes on!

What’s more, the dogs speak (or bark) for themselves. What I received was an extremely well adjusted puppy, ready to coexist in my home. Raising a puppy is certainly very challenging, but Southernwind does… read full review
