Welcome to Sunshine Shepherds
We are a small, family-centered program, nestled just outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan. We focus on balanced temperaments, healthy genetics, and loyal hearts.
Our puppies are born and raised in our home, where they're gradually introduced to the normal sights, sounds and activity of everyday life.

Our Girls
warm, patient, gentle
🐾 Meet Penny
Penny is our calm, gentle girl who loves nothing more than being close to her people. She’s soft, sweet, and always drops the ball neatly into your hand for another throw. Her easy temperament and loving nature make her a wonderful mama and an ideal foundation for family-friendly puppies.
Penny is AKC registered, with a temperament we are proud to pass on — balanced, intuitive, and deeply people-focused.
Clever, Affectionate & Spirited
🐾 Meet Skye
She’s playful, curious, and just a little too smart for her own good. Skye has mastered opening unlocked doors - without permission and believes every crumb belongs to her by divine right.
Despite her mischievous streak, Skye is affectionate, people-focused, and incredibly devoted.
Skye is AKC registered, her puppies are expected to shine with confidence, smarts, and a joyful, energetic heart.
