Cher Car Kennels

Introduction: Cher Car Kennels in St. Johns, Michigan has been breeding and training dogs for lives of significance and service since 1977. Our breeding program specializes in German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherds, and strives to produce the naturally protective and loving family dog you remember from childhood. Our success is attributed to knowledge gained through years of experience. We select our breedings to emphasize physical soundness, intelligence and temperament, and we carefully match each individual puppy to its new family based on your stated activity needs and desires. We only utilize x-ray cleared dogs (hips and elbows) in our breeding program, with OFA certification obtained at the appropriate age. We treat our dogs like athletes; feeding the finest natural foods to produce maximum healthy growth and proper nutrition. Our feeding regimen consists of a mix of organic dog food comprised of human-grade ingredients without dyes, additives or synthetic preservatives combined with poultry, beef or venison. Our 20 acre country farm with boarding kennel facility provides the perfect setting for active socialization of our puppies by exposing them to farm animals (goats, horses, sheep) along with other dogs, boarding and training clients and lots of friends, ensuring a well rounded development. We offer an extensive variety of dog training programs to assist your puppy in growing and learning in a safe, stimulating and fun environment. Cher Car Kennels specializes in ALL breed training for the family pet, along with advanced training for sport, protection and police. Our training programs have graduated over 18,000 dogs from our facilities to date! We specialize in preventing dog behavior problems by educating dog owners through personalized private home visits, group classes or in-kennel "boarding school" training, using positive, praising methods of dog obedience instruction. We provide the knowledge, understanding and expertise necessary to teach your dog "good behavior" rather than simply punishing what you might perceive as "bad behavior". The overall well-being of the dog is then achieved through a special balance of loving attention, exercise and a sense of purpose derived through training. Our philosophy of offering the very best breeding and training possible works to insure each puppy buyer is happy with their Cher Car Kennels dog, and for it to be a loved member of the family for its lifetime.
