501Shepherds is 10/10 the BEST German Shepherd Breeder in Arkansas!! Basil Jane is 6 months old and I still remain in contact with them. They are not looking to sale puppies, they are looking to complete families! Our son, the youngest of 5 went to the Army on 02.09.26 and we picked up Basil on 02.14.26. She is the perfect addition to our family and she has helped me to heal from the “baby” of the family being gone. When you get a puppy from 501 Shepherds you are joining a community, a family. I promise-if we get another Shepherd-it will come from them.

501 Shepherds is truly the best breeder to purchase your GSD from. From weekly videos of your litter to answering any and all questions you could possibly have. They respond almost immediately to your messages. They truly love what they do as if every puppy was their own. I will not hesitate to purchase from them again and you shouldn't either. They are truly great people to work with, besides having beautiful, well socialized, and very intelligent bloodlines to choose from..

We got our precious Maverick from 501 Shepherds! Maverick has been a joy from the beginning! Shelby kept me updated throughout the whole process with daily videos and updates up until the day we picked our precious boy up! Shelby’s wife Casey was wonderful on the day we picked our boy up! 501 Shepherds truly cares about the German Shepherd breed and strive to give you the best one they can! They took such great care of Maverick and his litter mates from birth until they were ready to pick up! We are so excited to begin our journey with our sweet Maverick! Thank you 501 Shepherds for truly caring about the breed! If you are looking for a wonderful breeder for a German Shepherd, look no further, 501 Shepherds is the place to go!! ❤️❤️❤️

Got our sweet Athena from 501 Shepard’s in Sept 2024 from a River/Cabo litter. They were extremely helpful, patient, and kind. Answered all questions. We received weekly videos and updates, and helped pick the right puppy for us. My husband and I looked for a breeder for over a year, so happy we went with 501.

We got our sweet Kailee from 501 shepards. Shelby sent me videos every week up in till we pick our sweet girl up. These pups Kailee was from were bottle fed from birth and Shelby and his family raised these babies and they turn out perfect. Thank you so much for caring so much.

These dogs are not just part of a program, they are part of our family. Our puppies are born and raised right inside our home with daily hands on care, love and real life exposure. From the sound of the vacuum to children playing through the house, they grow up learning what it truly means to live as part of a family. We take great pride in what we raise. Our dogs come from imported bloodlines, are health tested and known for steady temperaments and strong structure. We focus on producing Shepherds with clear minds, loyal hearts and the natural confidence families can depend on. Whether you are looking for a devoted companion or a steady family protector, we would be honored to help you find the one that fits your home.
