Erin and Bryce are an amazing couple who are honest, genuine and friendly and just love their dogs. The way Erin and Bryce raise their dogs, pups and horses is the reason I went with Sabella farms. I highly recommend Sabella farms if you are looking for a well rounded, socialised German shepherd puppy for your family. From the beginning when I started communicating with Erin about the breeding and life style her dogs had on the farm I received continuously helpful and friendly texts and emails. I was able to meet the parents of my pup (Liani and Rudy) before I made the decision to invest in a pup from Sabella farms. The adult dogs are gentle and beautiful German shepherds. My pup khanum is a wonderful girl who is kind, curious and very intelligent. She has settled into my family well and everyday is full of play and fun. Thank you so much.

​I highly recommend Erin if you're thinking about getting a new family member. Our Koda is highly intelligent, has a easy going nature and is very sociable before even taking him to puppy school. So many people have commented on how quite he is for a puppy because no matter how excited he gets in public he will never bark or jump at people. We also had a friend who happens to be a former obedience trainer say how incredibly intelligent he is to have picked up so many commands at such a young age without having been to any classes yet. So I'd say it's all a testament to his breeding. Sabellefarms obviously know what they're doing because they've managed to give us the dog of our dreams and I could not be more thankful. 
Also Erin is so on top of messages and is always making herself available for questions that we have or even just to gush over how adorable Koda is. Makes us so happy to know that we made the right choice going with her.

Erin has made the process of choosing one of their beautiful shepherds the most incredible experience. We are new to German Shepherds and Erin tirelessly and graciously answered my questions anytime, day or night. She knew we had never owned this breed before and treated us so amazingly. Sharing her knowledge with us so that we had the wisdom needed to raise our beautiful boy well! I also know that we can continue asking questions and learning because this is her passion. Our Vet & Dog Trainer cannot get over the beautiful temperament of our pup & his confirmation. They said they have seen hundreds of dogs, and said he is absolutely amazing. Not one single negative thing to say. Erin's an amazing breeder & beautiful person that genuinely loves her dogs. We searched through lists of breeders, looked at their dogs, researched the breed and once we found Sabella Farms & talked to Erin, we saw that she was an ethical, loving breeder - we knew we had found the breeder for us!

It's been a week since we brought our beautiful girl, Zuri, home and we are so in love! She is just perfect in every way! We can't speak highly enough of Erin and Sabella Farm! From our first enquiry, through the process, to Zuri being home for the first week - Erin has been so helpful and friendly - she made us feel like we were part of the Sabella Farm family from the start! She even connected us with another family here in Wellington and we now have a brother for Zuri to play with and new friends! There is so much love all around and we are so grateful for being part of it!!

My partner and I have been German Shepherd lovers all our lives, and when we finally decided the time was right to buy one we knew exactly what we were looking for. It took us a while to find it as straight backed GSDs with testing are not easy to find! Our girl is so sweet and gentle, and when we decided she deserved a brother, of course we went back to Erin! Erin has been an amazing support, very quick to respond to any queries and has a wealth of knowledge to offer. Thank you Erin for our beautiful babies we love them to bits.

we bought our pup from Sabella Farms, even though they were further away than other breeders it was very important to us that we had confidence in the breeder. 
the care they put into everything they do has come through in every interaction and the incredible aftercare we've had in helping our pup to settle in with our family. 
we got a fantastic level of support at every stage and have maintained an incredible relationship with them which is ongoing and they are always happy to help with even the smallest thing.

We got our beautiful female German Shepard pup 'Suki' at age 9weeks from Erin, Sabella Farm. Suki is now 4 months old and growing up beautifully. She's a quick learner and has kind, playful and adaptable nature. I am regularly in touch with Erin, she takes great interest and time out of her busy schedule help me with any questions I might have in regards to Suki's well-being, training etc which is exceptional service to anyone getting there pup from her. We have never had German Shepard before, so to have that confidence that we are getting the ongoing support means everything to us. Thank you so much. Suki is so beautiful and precious to us and has bought us so much happiness 🙏

We have welcomed one of Sabella Farms pups into our family. Erin has been great to deal with we received the hip and elbow scoring and the DM testing results for our pups parents which were very good and important to us. We know that we can always come back to Erin for support and ask as many questions as we want. 
Our fur baby is loving, intelligent, willing to please, fantastic around people and will be a great all round dog that suits our family. We couldn’t be more happy.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Erin and knowing her before and after purchasing a pup from her.
I am an experienced German shepherd owner, I have had many throughout my life, after my last dog passed away, I decided to look for a pup from overseas until I saw Erin's dogs.
To see Sabella’s stock was a delight and I knew I was on the right track soon after we spoke, the dogs have been tested and have excellant scores..
Erin and Bryce are genuine lovers of animals and nature; they have a strong connection with their dogs and horses and breed quality stock.
I had numerous conversations with Erin and her knowledge is amazing, The contact did not stop after I got my puppy, I continued receiving quality advice from Erin on all sorts of things relating to my puppy’s food, health and wellbeing .
The puppy I got is amazing, I may get another one later on when my circumstances allow it like some of Erin’s other clients who bought more than one dog, a testimony to the quality she produces.
I encourage anyone looking for top quality animals to look at Sabella’s range of horses, German shepherds and Malamutes

​I couldn't speak more highly of Erin and the amazing puppies she breeds. I have had 2 of these amazing fluffballs and wouldn't go anywhere else. They are beautiful dogs and have a soft kind temperament about them. my two boys have been awesome with kids, farm animals and our cats. super intelligent
Erin has been awesome to work with and both times has sent both dogs to Christchurch with all the information and paper work we needed. Even when we had issues with our boy barking Erin was awesome with giving us lots of advice and sending us information we needed to help with this. we have kept in contact over the last 7 years and it's been awesome to see the beautiful dogs she breeds and how popular her dogs have become. Wouldn't look anywhere else but here for another German shepherd in the future. 😍😍

We have now had two pups from Sabella farm and they are both totally delightful. Erin was really helpful when the pups were ready to be transported to us via Air. Everything was organised, all we had to do was pick them up from the airport. They are both beautiful, very well adjusted dogs, one is now a year old, and the other one almost 4 months. Both very healthy, and both with amazing characters. Erin has kept in touch with us, and is always there if we need advice. I cant recommend them enough if you want a beautiful German Shepard.


Robyn Conway - Feb 2020

Couldn’t recommend Sabella Farm more - we got our little puppy around two months ago and he is absolutely gorgeous 💕 Erin was fantastic to deal with - I really appreciated that she asked me questions about what we were like and if we would be a good fit for her pups, it shows she cares. Our boy Boston has such a sweet nature and so far we can’t believe how well behaved and relaxed he is.
