SureFire Shepherds began in 1989 with Sure Fire Chelsey, a black/cream shepherd of great beauty and intelligence.  Chelsey lived a long life of 15 years with no health problems and is still greatly missed.  She produced beautiful black/silvers who went on to produce gorgeous white shepherds with the same beauty and intelligence as their grandmother, only with the pure white coat.  We continued down the path of producing white shepherds adding in colored dogs who we felt would add valuable contributions to the breed.  Today we primarily breed the white color although still produce black/silvers, silver sables and solid blacks under the breeding program name of Standhaft Shepherds.  Our desire for our SureFire line is to produce white shepherds with the same working ability of the colored shepherds but with the beauty of the pure white coat and dark pigment.  Our dogs are family dogs and excel at Obedience, Agility, Herding, Search/Rescue and are naturally good watchdogs.
