Thank you for visiting my page! My name is Jill Hendershot (Swillum) and in 2013 I began my breeding journey in Missouri with my late husband, Stephen. I quickly fell in love with this incredible breed and I chose to continue breeding top of the line European working dogs because of their incredible versatility. I moved to Rising Sun, Maryland, where I worked extremely hard to continue building and perfecting our original breeding foundation. Recently remarried, we now reside and operate in Lower Mount Bethel in Lehigh Valley, PA. I could not imagine a more perfect breed. Here at Swillum’s Legacy K-9’s I am committed to raising high quality, AKC German Shepherds and strive to maintain the integrity and legacy of this amazing breed. My dogs are part of the family and puppies are not only suited for family life but are bred to excel at any job required of them. If you are looking for a beautiful, loyal, and exceptionally intelligent family, protection, or working dog, you have come to the right place!
