Hickoryhill was established in 1993 and is owned by Steve and Christine Grainger. We are located about 15 miles NE of Evansville IN. Although our focus is conformation showing, we take great pleasure is placing will bred  puppies with loving families that are not only beautiful but intelligent with sound temperaments!

Naturally we are also proud of our many accomplishments in the breed! With only breeding 1-2 litters per year, we have bred numerous US Champions, including 2000 US GV Hickoryhills Bull Durham, TC, HIC ROM, 2004 US GVX Hickoryhills Godiva Sirus Park,  Mex GV & US Select Hickoryhills Wild West v Pilgrim and Mex GV Hickoryhills Rob Report Babheim. We are also the breeders of 2 US Futurity Victors, 1 US Maturity Victrix and many US Select champions, Register of Merit producers, 2 Annual Training Achievement Award Sires, many regional Futurity/ Maturity winners and performance titled dogs.

Our puppies are raised in a loving family enviroment and are well socialized with children. We also strongly beleive that as breeders it is important to educate families about our wonderful breed! Therefore we provide each family with our own "Puppy Care Guide" that outlines what to expect with your growing GSD puppy!

Both Steve and Christine are members of the GSDCA. Christine currently enjoys serving on the GSDCA Futurity Committee and in the past has served on the GSDCA Illustrated Standard Committee. Hickoryhill is also a "Breeder of Merit" with the American Kennel Club

Further information about our breeding program as well as additional photos can be seen at AKC Marketplace. Because we have a limited breeding program, we strongly recommend early reservation for companion puppies! 

Highly intelligent, sweet temperament, confident, fantastic companions that are a joy to live with.

Casamoko Shepherds is located in Somerset, Wisconsin and breeds high quality German Shepherds for companion, performance, and show that come as close to the AKC standard as possible.  Health and temperament are our main concerns and being a veterinarian makes the health part essential.  Our dogs are all well socialized and attend training classes from an early age.  Casamoko Shepherds strives to produce puppies that can do it all-so far we have puppies that are competing in conformation (dog shows), obedience, agility, rally, herding, tracking, therapy work, service dogs, IPO, barn hunt, nose work, lure coursing, and of course many that are wonderful companions and family members.

RiverRock German Shepherds is a preservation hobby kennel in St. Cloud, MN dedicated to breeding outstanding show, performance, and companion dogs.  Breeder, Dr. Zoa Rockenstein, is an AKC Breeder of Merit and Signatory of the German Shepherd Dog Club of American Breeders’ Code of Ethics.  She is the co-breeder/co-owner of BPISS Ch. RiverRock’s Maybe I’m Amazed, awarded Best Puppy at both the U.S. and Canadian National Specialty Shows in 2018 and third place in the 2019 National Futurity.

RiverRock German Shepherds are extraordinary companion dogs who display the breed’s versatility in conformation, herding, rally, tracking, scent work, agility, obedience, and other events. Our breeding program is based on our core values:  Soundness, Performance, Beauty, and Style (in that order).  Our dogs are protective, not aggressive.  They are motivated to perform, but not to be endlessly demanding.

Show, performance, and companion puppies will be available at the end of January 2019 and in the spring and summer of 2020.  The puppy contract includes a health guarantee.  All breeding stock are OFA certified free of hip and elbow dysplasia and are screened for DM.

Applications, and deposits from approved buyers, are being accepted now.  See the Puppies page on our website for the puppy application and for pictures of the sires and dams, along with litter pedigrees of planned litters.  Please submit the application as directed on the website, before contacting me about puppy availability.  Co-breeder Kathleen Barrow and I have both solid black and black and tan puppies currently available sired by Ch. RiverRock’s Whistle Down the Wind TC CGC RN TKN (Angus) out of Ch. Karizma’s Black Gold (Dallas) to be homed around January 27^th.  

 Exciting breedings for 2020 are listed on the website.  Strong preference will be given to show and/or performance homes.  We are happy to mentor seriously committed beginners, juniors, and owner-handlers.  RiverRock puppies are not available as “pets only”.  There is an expectation of involvement in at least one AKC sport (including, but not limited to, conformation, scent work, obedience, herding, therapy work, agility, and rally) to the first titling level out of respect for the breed as a working dog.  A RiverRock puppy is more than a pet:  it is an adventure!

Our Pups are socialized and family-raised in our home for Family Pets, Conformation, Agility and Obedience. 

We only breed 1 or 2 litters per year.  The pups have lots and lots of love, affection and family time.  The puppies are vet checked, have first shots and are wormed prior to going home. 

Temperament, Health, and hip X-Rays are of major importance to us. 

Rescues may be available.  There is a fee. . . 

Please contact us for more information and home approval.  A good, loving home is always our main concern.

Pups must be spayed or neutered. We do not deal with puppy mills.
