Our commitment extends beyond breeding; we are deeply rooted in providing dogs that embody both vigilance and gentleness, ensuring they are outstanding protectors and beloved members of any household.

Cher Car Kennels’ Philosophy and Proven Experience
For 48 years, Cher Car Kennels has been at the forefront of breeding and training dogs, establishing a long-standing relationship with law enforcement and military service personnel. This deep connection has informed our breeding philosophy: to produce canines that possess the high drive and intelligence required for demanding roles like Police Service or Military Working Dogs, yet maintain the calm, gentle temperament necessary for family life. We believe our dogs should be not only vigilant guardians but also loving companions capable of playing with children or coexisting peacefully with other pets. Our distinctive “Our Dogs Do Stuff®” and “Breeding and Training dogs for Lives of Significance and Service®” ethos underscores our commitment to producing dogs that are both capable and well-adjusted, ready to serve and protect while enriching the lives of their families.
Understanding the Exceptional Traits of Dutch Shepherd Puppies
At Cher Car Kennels, our Dutch Shepherd puppies are bred for a specific set of desirable traits that make them stand out. We anticipate they will exhibit remarkable vigilance, supreme athleticism, keen intelligence, and an innate desire to please their handlers. These qualities make them incredibly trainable and adaptable, perfectly suited for a wide range of activities. Whether your interest lies in competitive dog sports such as rally, dock jumping, agility, or nose work, or in specialized fields like tracking, search and rescue, protection sports, or police service, our puppies have the potential to excel. Furthermore, their robust pedigrees indicate they are ideal candidates for both demanding working roles and as active, engaging family companions, with some showing promise as beautiful show prospects.
Exploring Our Current Dutch Shepherd Puppy Litters
We are thrilled to present our current litters of Dutch Shepherd puppies, each representing the culmination of careful breeding and exceptional parentage.
The Ekon and Yahtzee Litter (Born October 31, 2025)
This exciting new cross pairs two outstanding dogs, and we anticipate a litter with superb working abilities, with potential for excellence in high-level sports or police service. These pups are expected to possess strong bone structure, impressive athleticism, and striking good looks.
Sire: “Ekon” (Multi-HIT EN PTM URO1 UUF UMJCH Cher Car’s Exceptional Find) is a top-tier competitor. Ekon has earned the highest title of ELITE NOSEWORK and is a Champion Dock Jumper, competing successfully at national championships. He is also a decorated protection dog competitor, known for his immense ball drive and powerful presence. We expect Ekon to pass on these attributes, producing intelligent, versatile offspring with multifaceted capabilities.
Dam: “Yahtzee” is a fifth-generation Cher Car Kennels Dutch Shepherd, representing a refined lineage. She is lighter-boned with very balanced drives. Yahtzee boasts OFA Excellent Hips and Normal Elbows, is exceptionally social with both people and other dogs, and is expected to produce offspring with striking good looks, intelligence, and a friendly attitude. Her pedigree suggests she can produce excellent working and competition dogs, as well as beautiful show prospects.
We anticipate high retrieve and toy drive in this litter, making them highly willing partners for owners looking to engage in various activities.
The Ivan and Tess Litter (Born December 16, 2025)
This is a repeat breeding of a highly successful pairing that previously produced pups excelling in Ring, PSA, competitive Nosework, and even as Police Service SAR dogs.
Sire: “Ivan” (CHSD RFI UEJCH CH Cher Car’s Lights Out in GA UADUJ UADUFE) is a remarkable dog with tremendous ball drive. He is a Breed Champion, a Champion Elite Shed Dog Hunter, a Champion Dock Jumper, holds an Elite Fetch-It title, and is a strong, powerful protection dog. Sired by our Titan out of Velvet, Ivan embodies the drive and capability we value.
Dam: “Tess” is a heavy-boned, sturdy female with stunning conformation. She is a granddaughter of our esteemed dogs, TITAN and SCARLETT, carrying forward a legacy of quality.
These puppies are expected to be visually stunning and exceptionally trainable, possessing a true “can-do” attitude, offering the best of both worlds: top-level performance without being overly intense.
