About Us

West Cherry Shepherds (also known as West Cherry Petique) began in 2010 as a family-owned business in Galena, Missouri, amidst the rolling hills of the Ozarks region. Our original breeding pair, King and Duchess, were gifted with their first litter in July of 2010. Since then, our family of Shepherds has continued to expand. We have continued the tradition of raising our dogs in a family-oriented environment, surrounded by a warm, caring, and loving atmosphere just perfect for nurturing growing pups. Our puppies have the benefits of enrichment and socialization with other family pets, like cats in the house. We also begin socializing them out in public after they have had their shots.

We are a state-licensed, veterinarian-inspected breeding facility registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). Our Shepherds and their litters are registered with the AKC, so our customers are guaranteed puppies that follow strict guidelines for certification. If you have any questions about registration with the AKC, or want to know more about the organization, please visit the American Kennel Club's web site for more information.

For inquiries about our current and future litters, or to schedule a time to see our puppies for potential adoption, please feel free to contact us.
