Old German Shepherd Kennel of Vallon des Chantoirs

We breed Old German Shepherds (Altdeutsche Schäferhunde) in Liège, Belgium.

​

Our German Shepherds are distinguished by their straight backs, medium-to-long coats, and exceptional adaptability, making them perfect family dogs.

Our females are raised within the family and take part in everyday life with us. They accompany us on holidays and trips, which allows them to learn a great deal, passing on these experiences to their puppies through imitation, play, and natural education.

​

Retired females remain within the family circle. We believe that a breeding program is a microcosm in which every dog has something unique to offer.

​

Puppies are born in the house and grow up in the family home to become accustomed to everyday sounds, smells, and routines.

​

We watch them grow and thrive indoors until they reach four weeks of age. At this stage, they begin exploring the outdoors and meeting other members of the pack. This allows them to discover the world confidently, in a safe environment, while staying close to their mother.

​

Puppies remain with their mother and the pack until they are ten weeks old, learning canine social codes and benefiting fully from the enrichment and early education the kennel provides.

When leaving the kennel, puppies are microchipped, dewormed, and up to date on vaccinations (the booster is scheduled at 12 weeks). They go to their new families with their AFC pedigree, European passport, and a puppy starter pack containing information to help owners build the best possible relationship with their new companion.

​

The German Shepherd can be a wonderful lifelong companion when properly guided and educated. With attention and quality time, they become the most fantastic family dog.

Like all dogs, they require training, physical activity, and structure. In return, they become your children’s best friend, the guardian of your home, and a companion in every adventure.

Our Old‑Type German Shepherds are distinguished by the variety of their coats, ranging from black to white, including sable, bicolor, and many other shades.

​

Our selection criteria for breeding dogs prioritize temperament and health. We do not favor any specific coat color, preferring to let nature surprise us with beautiful outcomes.

​

To ensure you can enjoy your time with your four-legged companion, we select breeding dogs free from genetic diseases. Our breeding dogs are tested for numerous conditions, including well-known ones such as drug sensitivity, degenerative myelopathy, and hip dysplasia.

​

We collaborate with other breeders and private owners who offer stud services. This allows us to diversify our breeding lines while meeting our strict standards for health and temperament.

​

We offer puppies that are:

• Raised within the family

• Free from genetic diseases

• Born from parents carefully selected for temperament and health

We remain available after the puppies leave the kennel and are always happy to see them again when invited. We also organize gatherings for puppies from the same litter, giving owners and dogs the opportunity to meet and share experiences.
