“Ashley, It’s been a week know since I’ve had Izzy.. I assumed I was getting great dog just because of what I had heard about your breeding program….
In last ten weeks or so, from time of deposit you always answered questions and had pics on Facebook to keep me informed of the progress.
But in one week I’ve seen for myself the pups you sell are incredible,awesome disposition,confident and very trainable.I love my Izzy she doing great…….
Thank you
For giving all of such great additions to our life, family..
Thanks again Kevin”
“We have followed this breeder for years and knew they were the ones we wanted to buy from! Their thoughtfulness in the mating groups were perfect! When we finally decided to pick a male and female and hope for puppies finally came! We couldn’t be happier! Our puppy has been home two days , has had no accidents, knows where the door is to go out when needed! She is smart and well mannered at this age. So excited to watch her grow! And this is all because of Valiant German Shepherds. Unbelievable service!!!!! Constantly updating! And opened her kennel up for us to visit! We found that every GSD was friendly and very well behaved! Love this experience! Thank you Ashley 💙💙💙” Christina Y
“He has the BEST TEMPERAMENT and is soooo loving, goofy, and too smart. He’s the sweetest soul. My Prince Charming. I’m not the breeder and not an expert but Maggie’s line (as well as many of the other Valiant dogs because of their excellent temperaments) are perfect support/service dogs – they just take up A LOT of space on an airplane!!! I was going to fly him but I would have literally felt badly to not buy 3 seats with all that hair! And I’ve had a 90+ GSD service dog. Lol. If you’re looking for German Shepherd I highly recommend Valiant Shepherds West German Shepherds in Iowa !!! I wish I could give them an ethical breeders award.”
“I took Ollie on an 18 hour drive to FL to watch my son play soccer. He was the absolute best travel companion!! I got more compliments on him than I could keep track of. No one could believe he’s still a puppy because he is so well behaved!! I’ll attach some pictures of our adventures! Thank you again for breeding such wonderful dogs. We are so blessed to have him in our life.” Shannon K
“Ashley is such a phenomenal breeder, I can’t say enough good things! She truly cares about bettering the German Shepherd breed. She has always been willing to answer any questions I’ve had and cares so much about the puppies she produces, as well as their parents! The temperament of her dogs and puppies is unmatched! I get so many compliments on my boy regarding both his looks and his disposition! Highly recommend Valiant Shepherds!” Keely
“While we have only had our sweet boy Knox for a few days he has been an AMAZING addition to our family. When Ashley described his personality and temperament to me she was exactly spot on and he has been everything she said he was! Ashley is so quick to answer questions and be so helpful and checks on the puppies after they go to their new homes! I will never get a German Shepherd anywhere else!!” Becka
“Hello, this is Willy, he is the sweetest, smartest, calm, most beautiful dog!! He is such a joy to have and we are so thankful to you for breeding such a beauty!!” Rochelle
“We honestly couldn’t be happier!! Thank you for everything! Our hearts are filled! He is so very special to us! You guys are the most amazing people and we are beyond blessed! ❤️ ❤”. Cory
“We just picked up our beautiful puppy and after looking at numerous breeders we found this wonderful family! The land they have is gorgeous all the animals are beautiful and look well loved and very healthy! She keeps her kennels in amazing condition and we just are so happy with how all her dogs are kept! 10 stars! We will be back for future pups!” Crystal
Excellent pups. My Herman is very gentle, loving, mellow, low energy, very easy to train, and makes a great addition to family. You can’t go wrong with any of the Valiant pups. Ashley and her family take great care in raising their GS. Andrea
Before calling Valiant Shepherds earlier this year, I researched and/or talked to many different GSD breeders. For one reason or another, I crossed each one off my list. (Some didn’t listen to my needs. Some didn’t communicate in a timely manner. Some wanted $7000, the list goes on and on) Before I ended my first phone call with Valiant Shepherds, I was writing a deposit check and asking for the address to send it to. During that call, Ashley really LISTENED to what I was looking for. (A ‘standard’ female German Shepherd with a stock coat and low to moderate drive) She listened to my concerns about purchasing a dog via only pictures over the internet. She explained that she would send pictures and or videos as we requested. If the mom failed to conceive, our deposit would transfer to another litter. If we met the puppy and felt it wasn’t a good fit, there was no pressure. She invited my boyfriend and I to visit their facility anytime we wanted.
At all times we were provided with all the information and access that we could want. I don’t think it ever took her even an hour to respond to a message or voicemail. (there were a lot of them)
When we went to pick up our new baby, she didn’t rush us out. We were able to meet and interact with all of her dogs. (by the way they are all beautiful, friendly, and well mannered.) She sent us home with a folder including all the health information, our AKC registration papers, and a bag of food and a toy for our new puppy. She sent a text to make sure we made it home from our 5 hour drive. There is no doubt in our minds that she loves her animals and the job she is doing with them! I honestly can not say enough about how comfortable the whole experience has been. I am very Grateful to have found her!

“Ashley and Valiant Shepherds are amazing!!
From day 1, she has been so transparent and accommodative with us. We wanted to see the puppy before making a deposit and she didn’t hesitate at all. She truly cares for the well-being of her puppies and who they go to. It’s my first time owning a puppy and she has been so helpful to me as I embark on this new journey.
When I visited her dogs and puppies, they’re so respectful and calm. I couldn’t believe it. The first meeting solidified my decision to buy from Ashley. She always updated me with photos and his health and immunizations. I love it that she also desensitizes the puppies to the crate and have them in there a couple times before pick up. She helped me made my puppy’s first night an amazing transition. Only 1 night of crying and the rest was a breeze. Thank you for being so patient with me and questions.
Fast forward to 3 weeks with me, my new puppy is so friendly and wants hugs and love from every human and creature.
He is soooooo smart and knows all his basic commands and heel at 11 weeks.
Ashley have bred such well-mannered, intelligent, and low-temperament dogs. I am so in love with him and his personality. If you decide to go with Valiant Shepherds with Ashley, you will not be disappointed!”

“I took Armani to a groomer today to have him bathed and groomed! She said he was the best quality dog she has had in her shop in 30 years! I thought that was quite the compliment and wanted to pass it onto you since you raised him. She wanted to know everything about him and was totally in awe that there was that quality of pup around here. She used to show dogs!
Thanks again for raising the Best!” Brenda S
“Henry was 48.9 pounds today. Dr.K thinks he will be around 100 when full grown. She said he was the best gsd puppy she has ever examined. I told her he came from good breeding and great people! She said it shows. Thanks again for the best dogs ever!” Nancy D
“We have been to different breeders in several states looking for a puppy since our older dog had passed several years ago. Ashley and Valiant Shepherds are definitely the finest breeder and kennel we have visited. Ashley and her family are very gracious and knowledgeable, and they are super to work with. We have an awesome male pup from Maggie’s litter. This is the breeder to get a short or long haired German Shepherd from. You will not be disappointed in the breeding or the quality. Ashley, her family, and her dogs are top of the line. Thank you so much Ashley!” Sue

“We got Tahoe 2 years ago and have been so happy with him that we decided to add to our family and got Zoey 3 weeks ago. We are so pleased with the quality of these Shepherds. There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t receive compliments on them. Ashley and Joel provide each pup with great care and take the time to play with them and learn their personality. Their family is devoted to each pup and their priority is to find them the perfect forever home. ” Jen G
