Lindesfarne is a family owned business founded by Mark and Michele Scarberry in 1985. They have been training, competing and breeding German Shepherds for over 36 years.   Their son Dominic completes the family Team.
The Scarberry family is dedicated to the German Shepherd Dog, their combined experience allows them to breed outstanding dogs with superior temperaments and working abilities that do well as companions, pets, sport dogs, Police K9 and Search and Rescue.

Members of the United Schutzhund Clubs of America, Verein fur Deutche Schaeferhunde and German Shepherd Dog Club of America, they adhere to the breeding regulations established by the SV [Verein für Deutche Schaeferhunde – SV, in Germany]

Mark has served the United Schutzhund Clubs as Regional Director for the Mid Eastern Region and Vice President of USCA. Michele has served as Regional Breed Warden, USCA Secretary and USCA National Breed Warden.

We believe the key to finding the right breeder is to first educate yourself.                                                  

The only accurate way to learn about German bred dogs, German breeding programs, German style Shows and Trials, is to spend time with people who are actually involved in the Schutzhund community and who are competing with their dogs.  We welcome spectators to visit our schutzhund trials, conformation shows, our club, and training facility.

Michele is a very successful obedience instructor and retrieving trainer. She specializes in all breed training and handling, and manages Lindesfarne Boarding~Training facility.
Michele is the USCA National Breed Warden. She advocates that a working dog title is essential in proving a dog’s breed worthiness. The origin of Schutzhund and the rules by which we 'compete' were developed to 'test' the dog’s temperament, courage and hardness, and not play, prey or ball drive.  We should never lose sight of the fact that Schutzhund is a Breed Suitability Test. Conscientious breeders should train and test their bloodlines...not simply be in the 'puppy business'
