Jenny and James with Demi
We’ve known Ivy Stone for 2 years now, and can not recommend them enough! We were looking to get our first puppy as a companion to our senior husky, and were thoroughly impressed with Mark’s breeding practices. It was clear that he’s passionate about producing the healthiest and most well mannered dogs possible. Our puppy Demi ended up being an absolute pleasure to raise and train, and the community that we have met through Ivy Stone was critical to developing a dog that we can fully trust.

Ivy Stone Shepherd’s are the sweetest and loving German Shepherds we have ever owned. Mark and Ann go above and beyond with producing the best of the breed. We fell so in love with the first puppy that we got that we got another one a year later. They are the most beautiful German Shepherds

Kerri with Koda
I found Ivy Stone Shepherds through the AKC Marketplace and couldn’t be happier with my experience. Mark and Ann are incredibly knowledgeable about the German Shepherd breed and take responsible breeding seriously by conducting thorough genetic testing. They were patient will all my questions and provided thoughtful, well-informed responses. During my initial visit to their home, I was impressed with how social, well-behaved, and friendly all their dogs were, greeting me without hesitation. I knew I had found the breeder for me!
​
Throughout the process, Mark and Ann kept me updated on my puppy’s progress, sending regular videos. At pickup, the care and attention they put into raising their puppies were evident—the puppies’ area was clean and well-maintained. They provided an AKC resource pack and even suggested a local training group for socialization, which was incredibly helpful. They were always quick to respond to my questions and continue to stay connected, showing their genuine care for both their dogs and the families they go to.
​
I highly recommend Ivy Stone Shepherds to anyone looking for a high-quality, well-bred German Shepherd with excellent temperament and health. Mark and Ann are truly dedicated breeders who go above and beyond!

Susan & Andrew Ludwig with Dokken
Our Male Ivy Stone German Shepherd, Dokken , has been such a great joy to have in our lives. He is absolutely gorgeous . His personality matches his looks. He's sweet cuddly , expressive , protective and just an all around perfect companion. He's been extremely smart right from being a pup up to now. He is truly a huge part of our family. And wherever we take him , people ask where we got him. We feel completely protected by him and he's also extremely social and loves the attention he gets from strangers. He loves swimming in the bay at the Jersey shore , exercising every morning on his park walks ,hiking and getting baths and is comfortable around large groups of people. You can tell his breeders put alot of love and care into breeding these dogs. The care they give lives long after buying a pup from them. They always check in to see how he's doing and if they can be of any help with any questions we ever had. You won't find a better German Shepherd breeder anywhere.

Patti and Mark Lazowsky with Ziva and Leo
This breeder is absolutely incredible, producing top-quality puppies! We welcomed our girl, Ziva, from Ivy Stone in 2021, and at her wellness exam, the vet couldn’t stop raving about how stunning she was—the perfect representation of a German Shepherd. We were so impressed that we reached out to Ivy Stone, offering to have her bred if they ever wished. In June 2024, she was paired with Quinnd, resulting in four beautiful puppies. We couldn’t resist keeping one, and now Leo has become a cherished part of our pack!
