About the Breeder
We are breeders of German Shepherds located near Matheson, just outside Timmins in Northern Ontario, Canada. Our dogs enjoy life on our waterfront acreage, where they spend their days running, swimming, exploring and, of course, getting dirty! :)
Our breeding program focuses primarily on European West German showlines, with many of our dogs imported directly from Europe. We offer strictly European West German showline breedings, as well as select breedings that combine these lines with North American showlines. Each pairing is thoughtfully chosen to complement the strengths of both dogs and improve areas we feel need attention, always working toward the German Shepherd breed standard with health, stable temperament and sound structure at the heart of our decisions.
Above all, we focus on producing wonderful family companions. We value stable temperaments, sound health and dogs that can enjoy an active family lifestyle while settling comfortably in the home. To us, a German Shepherd should be loving and devoted to its family, confident in everyday life and naturally watchful of its surroundings. We want dogs with the willingness and drive to work, along with the ability to relax and simply be part of the family.
We have been breeding German Shepherds since 2005, and I am so happy with where my breeding program is today. I put my heart into every breeding, always looking at what we can preserve, strengthen and improve in the next generation. My love for this breed and the wonderful families who welcome our puppies into their lives are what keep me going. Breeding has brought plenty of heartache and challenges over the years, but it is a passion I would not change.
I am very particular about the dogs and bloodlines we include in our program. Health, temperament, and structure all matter. A beautiful dog must also have the soundness and character that make a German Shepherd such a special companion. Every dog we keep is loved and valued as part of our family. As they mature, we carefully evaluate their health, temperament and structure. If they do not meet what we are looking for in our breeding program, we simply choose not to breed them.
I appreciate the different German Shepherd lines when they are bred thoughtfully and responsibly. Every line has strengths and areas that need improvement, which is why we carefully consider each pairing. Our goal is to breed toward the SV and Canadian breed standards, with particular emphasis on stable temperaments, health and functional structure.
Our puppies are raised with love and plenty of involvement from our family. They are handled daily by our young daughters and introduced to our cats. Our girls have such a special role in raising them, and many families tell us how much their puppies continue to adore little girls after leaving us!
Spending so much time with each puppy helps us learn their individual personalities as they grow. This allows us to help match them with homes that suit their temperament, energy and needs. We want every puppy to have the opportunity to thrive with their new family.
Our dogs are family, and we expect the same for our puppies in their new homes. We want them to be loved, cared for and included in everyday life, with their loyalty and affection returned throughout their lives. We value dogs that can do well with children, while always encouraging supervision and teaching children and dogs how to interact respectfully.
We produce black and red and black and tan German Shepherds with traditional saddle markings. Although our breeding dogs are primarily stock coats, our lines also carry the long-coat gene, so we regularly have long-coated puppies.
Our goal is to bring together the qualities we love most about the German Shepherd: health, intelligence, beauty, sound movement and a steady, devoted temperament. Whether a puppy grows into a cherished family companion, a sport partner or a prospect for other work, we want them to have a strong foundation for the life ahead of them.
Our passion is raising beautiful, stable German Shepherds who become deeply loved members of their families.
Our latest updates & Brags
We are so excited to introduce VA2 (Switzerland 2025) Perfekt von Aurelius, IGP2, the newest addition to our Von Lousar family! He brings an impressive West German showline pedigree, accomplishments of his own and so much to look forward to in our breeding program.
At just over two years old, Perfekt earned VA2 at the 2025 Swiss Sieger Show, placing second in the stock-coat working male class with the highly respected “Excellent Select” rating. He also holds his IGP2 working title and has passed his German breed survey, bringing together achievements in both conformation and working ability.
His health credentials include normal hips, normal elbows and verified DNA. These are important foundations as we thoughtfully plan his future contribution to our program.
Perfekt is the son of VA2 (Austria 2022) Zamp von Aurelius, IGP3, and VA1 BSZS 2024 Ursel von Schnitzerteam, IGP3. His mother earned the top female honour at Germany’s prestigious Bundessiegerzuchtschau—a remarkable accomplishment! With accomplished parents on both sides, Perfekt has a pedigree we are truly excited to bring into our next generation.
We have put so much heart into building our breeding program, and welcoming Perfekt is another very special step in that journey. We cannot wait to see what the future holds for this handsome boy at Von Lousar!

Temperament Is Everything ❤️

A picture is worth a thousand words, and this one says everything about what we strive for at Von Lousar German Shepherds.
Pictured here is a little girl with her best friend, Sia. While we take great pride in breeding beautiful, accomplished German Shepherds, sound temperament, stable nerves, confidence and a loving, family-oriented nature will always be at the heart of our breeding program.
Our goal is to produce well-rounded German Shepherds that not only excel in the show ring but, most importantly, become trustworthy, devoted family companions.
Because at the end of the day, a great German Shepherd isn't just beautiful to look at — it's a dog you can confidently welcome into your family.
