Our Puppies start with a strong foundation

With unique bloodlines and solid characteristics, SD Shepinois’ foundation is built upon the intentional choosing of the original dogs.


South Dakota Shepinois Dam

Victoria (Tori)

Tori is the core of our breeding program with her war hero bloodline and her sweet demeanor. She is 1/2 German Shepherd, 1/2 Belgian Malinois.

Tori’s grandfather was a war hero from the Iraq war, trained in explosive detection and patrol. He is buried at Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio, Texas. Her mother was a narcotics detection dog for San Antonio police department.

Tori has no stop energy with an extremely high ball drive. She will run several miles while checking cattle in the pasture, only to come home and want to continue activity with no break. She is well mannered and loves attention, always ready to seek and sniff out whatever she can.

Details of Tori’s incredible Heritage

Can be read in this tremendous, must-read book about her grandfather.


South Dakota Shepinois Sire: Trivette

Trivette is a purebred Belgian Malinois who loves affection and working. He has good natural instinct with herding and loves to check cattle. Cattle work is definitely his favorite past time.

Trivette has great conformation and an intimidating demeanor. At the same time, he is a loyal friend who always wants to be with us no matter the task.

He loves to go to town and show off his handsomeness at the local farm and ranch store. You’ll see many of these same sleek traits in his pups. Trivette has great focus and is eager to learn.
