We got our puppy last year at 8 weeks from Jeff and JJ. She is beautiful, bright, intelligent, and has a great temperament. She is a handful like most German Shepherd puppies but she is our 3rd one so we knew this. Jeff and JJ have a passion for their dogs and know what they are doing. I highly recommend them.
Absolutely amazing breeder. We will only be getting our German shepherds from them. We get stopped all of the time with Nico about how handsome and well behaved he is. No one believes he is only 14 months because of how well behaved he is and his size. Also I absolutely loved that they raise all their dogs and puppies around their family. He is the best family dog and an even better protector. He and our 19 month old son are inseparable. The genetics of their dogs and temperaments are absolutely incredible.
I could not recommend Mannings Best Friend German Shepherds more! Mika is our 6th Shepherd. She is so sweet and gentle, just like Jeff described her parents (and like so many reviews I had read). She is incredibly smart and easy to train, she is confident, not nervous in anyway, great with kids and other dogs. So to have such a wonderful temperament AND to have her grandfather be the 2X World Sieger ... I am just over the moon that I found them and her! I also love that Jeff and Jessica are so knowledgeable and dont mind a phone call should any question arise. Their whole family is so sweet, caring and involved with the pups. I think this really helps their social/emotional development. Thank you Jeff and Jessica and all seven of your wonderful kids!
My German Shepherd, Buddy, who is 5 years old, has been a wonderful companion and most certainly, the most beautiful dog I have ever owned. People are constantly stopping on the streets to say, what a beautiful dog he is. The breeders are wonderful and caring people who love their dogs almost as much as I do.😊 They have a terrific large family who pours their heart and soul into their businesses. They come highly recommended.
I researched GSD breeders for a couple of years before getting our puppy. Our top priority was to have a dog who would be great with small children. Our dog is now 3 and we have grandchildren ranging in age from infant to a 4 year old. Hands down, this is the best dog we have ever had around kids! He is amazing; super playful with them yet calm and protective at the same time. I’m positive it’s because of the excellent breeding as well as the fact the puppies spend their first 8 weeks immersed in the wonderful Manning family environment!
Wonderful people to deal with, very knowledgeable when it comes to shepherds. Our puppy is so beautiful. He came to us almost totally house trained which I attribute to the great care and training that the Mannings give to each and every pup they have. This was a bonus I didnt expect! Our pup is 9 months old now and is solid, strong and smart as a whip! He is a wonderful addition to our family. Thank you.
We got our female German Shepherd from the Mannings 7 months ago and we are so pleased with our decision. She is such a loveable, smart, well behaved puppy. We invested time and money into having her trained and it is well worth it. She took to the training so well.This was the first large dog and German Shepherd we have ever owned and we were a bit apprehensive about getting one but it has been an absolute joy having her in our household. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in a German Shepherd to go and contact the Mannings. I think you’ll be very satisfied with your decision if you decide to get a puppy from them. .
Wonderful. Great people with the right approach on life. They truly care about the health and life of their dogs and honeybees! Love our little girl. Shes healthy and full of life. Wish we could have purchased more pups. Thank you Jeff, Jess, and Family.
We unexpectedly had to put down our 9-year old German Shepherd in early July. We have never been without a German Shepherd so we started looking for a quality dealer for our 5th German Shepherd. After weeks of searching German Shepherd online forums, one breeder kept appearing on most contributor’s list. We called “Mannings Best Friend German Shepherd Puppies” and had a long talk with Jeff Manning. He impressed us with his deep knowledge of German Shepherds and the fact that he not only has 25 plus years of breeding them but also training them. They live on a full-spectrum farm, and the puppies actually live in the house with the 7 children. The puppies are delivered potty trained. When we first got home, the 8-week old puppy actually went to the patio door and scratched it. We have not had any accidents in the house. At this point, we believe it is the most intelligent and best mannered of any of our German Shepherds yet.
Great breeders! Very professional and helpful. We got our pup not to long ago and he’s a very healthy chunk. Totally recommend if you’re looking to get German shepherds
We absolutely love our 3 year old shepherd! The Mannings do an outstanding job breeding, raising, and training their German Shepherds. Our pup is patient, playful, highly intelligent, loyal, and loving. You won’t meet a breeder with more knowledge and integrity!
Purchased a pup in March for potential breeding. Did a penn hip and hips are at moderate risk for hip dysplasia - therefore not breed-able, contacted breeder for compensation - none forthcoming. Breeder stated in an email I should have done my homework.! Pup however does have an excellent temperament, very clean in crate and intelligent.
We got Krieger 3 years ago. Couldnt ask for a better experience or pup. Constantly receive complimentson how handsome snd well behaved a GSD he is.I definitely recommend Mannings Best Friend if you are looking for a German Shepherd dog.
We had an excellent experience upon purchasing our now 2 year old girl, Gemma. Would not hesitate to buy again in future.
Mannings Best Friend are AMAZING people with AMAZING animals. I highly recommend them for dog training or purchasing a dog or anything.
Exceptional breeders with more than 25 years experience! Highly recommend! Thank you Jeff and JJ for Mina ❤
The ONLY place to get a true Deutscher Schaferhund in NY state. Wonderful people and family!!!
Very beautiful dogs! Wonderful people! Very happy with my two German Shepherd puppies!
When it was time for my parents to get a new GSD we researched a number of breeders and we landed on Mannings Best Friend. My parents picked up their puppy Arturo, 9 years ago and he is an amazing dog. The next year Jeff let me know he had a puppy available for me. Enzo has been the most perfect dog for me, he has an amazing temperament and he was so easy to train. It is amazing to see him and my parents dog with our toddler son, they are so gentle and protective of him. The only thing they dont like is when they are away from him or he is out of their sight! Jeff and JJ have always been available if I had questions and even for some training assistance. They are a great family and breed amazing dogs!
Very nice dogs,. Super nice family.
Wonderful dogs and wonderful people.
