Iron Paw Kennel

About

My name is Maribel Torres, owner/operator of Iron Paw Kennel.  In addition to breeding German Shepherds, I am a Certified Professional Behavior Specialist and Dog Trainer (CCTA, CCDT), Service dog Trainer (ABCSDT), First Aid and CPR certified and AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.  

Located in East Tennessee, Iron Paw Kennel specializes in breeding high quality working German Shepherds where the parents are certified hips and elbows through OFA. All dogs come from imported European bloodlines and are AKC registered.

Puppies are thoughtfully raised with early exposure to real-life environments, obedience training, crate training, and housebreaking. This ensures that they are well-prepared for their future homes.

In addition to breeding, Iron Paw Kennel provides highly capable service dogs that are physically sound, emotionally stable, and deeply devoted to their handlers. These dogs make a meaningful impact as companions, therapy dogs, and service dogs.

Our dogs have been proven to help those living with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), providing security which proves to help reduce symptoms such as isolation, depression, anxiety, nightmares, and hypervigilance.

Our Puppies

“My boyfriend and I lost our beloved shepherd earlier this year. Our house did not feel complete without one and it took months of searching before we stumbled upon Iron Paw Kennel and we could not have made a better choice. Maribel pours her heart and soul into her dogs and it is unmatched. Viper (Alexander) was the absolute best addition to our family. He is so sweet, so docile and he could not be more attached to our 8 month old Rotty. She was in constant communication, sending updates, answering all of our questions and delivered him straight to us which really helped create a perfect transition. We could not say more great things about Maribel and her dogs and would recommend her time and time again. Thank you, Maribel for truly filling a void for us in the best way possible."
