Our Story

Welcome to Von Duro Wildheit Kennels, where passion and dedication meet to produce some of the finest German Shepherds in New Hampshire. Located on 13 scenic acres in the heart of Center Harbor, we are a family-run kennel committed to the breeding of superior quality German Shepherd Dogs (GSDs) from working lines.

What began as Steven’s personal passion for the breed has blossomed into a full-fledged family adventure, uniting our love for dogs with a commitment to excellence. At VDW, we take pride in our intentional breeding program, where the health, temperament, and versatility of each dog are our top priorities.

Our German Shepherds aren’t just companions—they’re skilled, strong, and well-rounded dogs, bred to excel in various environments and roles. Whether you're looking for loyal estate security, a competition dog, working K-9, or a versatile companion, our dogs are bred to meet the highest standards of quality and integrity.

Thank you for considering Von Duro Wildheit Kennels. We’re excited to help you find your next best friend, one that will not only thrive in your home but also become a trusted partner for years to come.
