Asherah White Swiss Shepherds is a small, family-run kennel owned by Shane and Naomi, built on a lifelong love of the German Shepherd Dog. Both of us grew up with German Shepherds, and they played a significant role in our childhoods. We had always admired the beauty and temperament of the White Shepherd, and when the time came to welcome one into our own family, our journey led us to Neigepearl White Shepherds. At the time, we were unaware that White German Shepherds were now recognized as White Swiss Shepherds.

In 2012, we welcomed Rory into our home. She was four years old and in need of rehoming, and she immediately became a cherished member of our family. In 2013, another rehomed white shepherd joined us—Neigepearl Zac—who would later become our foundation stud dog and an important part of our breeding journey.

​

We are a family of four, with our children Jordan and Annaleise, and we live on 10 acres, with access to an additional 10 acres beside us. This provides our dogs with ample space to run, explore, and live enriched, active lives. Alongside our dogs, we also own Arabian horses, which we enjoy showing and occasionally breeding for ourselves. Our Shepherds thrive in this environment, enjoying swimming in the dam, exploring the nearby bush and river, and regular trips to the beach—one of their favourite adventures.

At Asherah, our dogs are first and foremost family. They live in and around our home and are involved in all aspects of daily life. Our dogs have participated in obedience training, social days, outings to Bunnings, and even horse shows. While we explored dog showing, our beautiful girl Neva made it very clear that the show ring was not her passion. Her wellbeing always comes first, so she happily enjoyed obedience for a time and now lives her best life simply being a much-loved family companion.

Our life is built around our animals, and our breeding program reflects this. We are deeply committed to producing well-rounded White Swiss Shepherds with sound temperaments, strong health, and the ability to thrive as devoted family companions. Our Shepherds bring us endless joy, and we are continually investing in our property and practices to ensure the comfort, enrichment, and wellbeing of every dog in our care.
