German Shepherds Rhode Island - Sirius Park German Shepherds

Sirius Park Kennel was established in 1986 with the purchase of our first pure-bred female shepherd, Rustic's Q.T., who served as the foundation of our breeding program today. We are a small breeding, showing and hobby kennel, located in the northwest corner of Smithfield, Rhode Island. Our facility features a completely chain linked property of five country acres that affords our animals plenty of room to grow and thrive in a natural setting. Our kennel compound features large, outdoor runs nestled under mature oak trees to provide a comfortable environment for our dogs. Our puppy kennel and holding area for females to be bred is separated from the main kennel. There are large paddocks for exercising and play. At night or in inclement weather, all dogs are kenneled inside. All our dogs, especially the puppies, are given attention on a daily basis to insure proper socialization and smooth transition into new homes.

Since our establishment we have been dedicated to the promotion and improvement of our wonderful breed. Our dogs are bred for soundness of temperament, soundness in health and conformation, or the "look of eagles" or nobility, as emphasized in the breed standard. Our breedings have evolved from American lines. We believe in the promotion of good hips and all our breeding stock has been x-rayed and/or approved by the Orthopedic Foundation. Therefore, our breedings are selective and planned with future generations in mind.

We have bred German Shepherds that have served as companion dogs for individuals and families, therapy dogs, service dogs, obedience, agility, herding, and conformation dogs. Since our inception, we have been fortunate to have bred some very beautiful German Shepherds who have been recognized as oustanding representations of the breed. Many of those dogs are featured on the following pages of our website. Some of those accolades include: Award of Excellence (AOE), Select American and Canadian Champions, Futurity and Maturity Winners, Best Puppy at the German Shepherd Club of America's National Specialty Show, titled Companion Dogs and registered Therapy Dogs. One of our dogs, Ch. Sirius Park's Monogram even worked for the political campaign of Rhode Island's present Lt. Governor Charles Fogarty. Ch. Monogram was featured in the television campaign ads, attended the political rallies, and served as the symbolic "watchdog" for the Rhode Island state retirement system. Monogram aka "Mason" provided a delightful addition to the campaign rallies, especially for the children in attendance. Finally, we co-bred the 2004 Grand Victress G.V. Sel. Ch. Hickoryhill's Godiva Sirius Park.
