Graystone Farms 2443 Freeman Mill Road, Suffolk, VA 23438

"We have not one, not two, but THREE Graystone pups. Brought the first one home in June of 2018, and the second in June of 2019, and adopted the third from Mike in 2023. First one from the old facility, the second and third from the new. We have had had many doggy social visits with both Mikes (senior and Junior), as well as other Graystone owners since (Mike has family reunions for all his pups and for anyone else who wants to attend.) BOTH facilities were top notch in cleanliness. BOTH facilities had conditioned air birthing kennels. BOTH facilities had numerous, well cared for and socially well adjusted adult dogs you could visit with. ALL dogs received extensive socialization,vas well as exposure to common noise elements etc. Both of our dogs are perfectly comfortable around fireworks, firearms, thunder, etc. We have been in ten or eleven dog classes with our pups now, and I can tell you that THERE IS A DIFFERENCE between these dogs and 90% of the others we've seen in class. They are extremely well behaved and take to training as easily as they do to food. Two plus years later, whenever our older dog hears Mikes' voice in a video, or on speakerphone, he instantly stops and pays attention. TWO YEARS later. He does this with nobody elses voice. The Mikes STILL know the color of each of our dogs collars when they were puppies there. We cannot take our dogs anywhere without getting complimented. You simply CANNOT do better than a Graystone Farms dog. I will happily respond to any questions at any time."

"The Graystone Farm is a exceptional place! We’ve had such a wonderful experience with them getting our German Shepherd. The knowledge and love they have for their German Shepherds is absolutely incredible. They are always available for any questions or concerns you might have throughout the years with your new addition to the family. We feel very blessed to have found them. Our boy we got from them is the best decision we’ve made."

"I just saw a bad review from Audrey Lytton that completely shocked me. I purchased a German Shepherd from Mike Gray, and my family and two friends have been purchasing German Shepherd’s from him for years. I am an attorney, and I have also helped him with a couple of matters concerning folks that were not treating animals appropriately. In doing so, I reviewed a number of his contracts and talked to a number of his clients. Not a single one of them had anything but glowing words and accolades about Michael Gray, and Graystone Farms. During my work interviewing clients, I learned that Mike is adamant that none of his animals are bred before two years and until they have had a full clean and clear health certification. In addition, he performs a rather lengthy and in-depth interview of the potential breeder prior to selling an animal to them. I’m really shocked to see anyone have a bad review such as Ms. Lytton’s. I would certainly hope that she has the courtesy to let Mike know the client to whom she’s referring. I am certain as the day is long that he would get a better understanding of that person’s concerns, and make it right if there were any problems. I would also like to see that she acknowledged that she was not a client of Graystone Farms, but she was talking on behalf of someone else. In my world that’s called hearsay. Daniel"

"I have owned a pair of German Shepherds for years. Unfortunately, my big beautiful male passed at 11 years old last fall, leaving his sister alone for the first time. We were finally ready to purchase another German Shepherd when she turned 12 this year. We searched several kennels, when we came across Graystone Farms. We had visited each kennel and none compared to Graystone Farms. We knew we found our next forever baby boy when Michael listened to our wants and needs about a new pup. He kept a close eye on the pups and helped us pick out the pup that would best fit out family dynamic. I cannot say enough about Michael and his son, they are both very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions ~ even if it's 6 months later. Our boy is now 6 months and we cannot be happier with the disposition of this pup. He is smart, willing to work and easy to train. If I ever decide I want to purchase another German Shepherd, there is no hesitation, I will be asking Michael which pup he thinks would suit our family the best. Thank you Michael and everyone at Graystone Farms!!!"

"Graystone Farms is a top-notch breeding facility with the most excellent, high quality dogs. We got our puppy in June and could not be more impressed with her beauty, intelligence, and temperament. Furthermore, Mike and Mike Jr. are incredibly supportive, and go above and beyond answering questions, giving advice, etc. They also stay connected with their puppy owners, and love to see pictures/videos of the pups (their babies/children, as Mike calls them) growing and thriving in their new homes. The work they put into maintaining a beautiful facility, their amazing dogs, and development of their puppies is nothing short of amazing. I HIGHLY recommend Graystone Farms if you are looking for a German Shepherd Dog in the Virginia area! We will even be getting a second puppy from them in the next couple months!"
