4B Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Amy B., the breeder behind 4B Kennels located in Benton, KY. We have hand-selected our breeding dogs from titled imports. Top working lines with ONLY excellent temperaments.
Q. & A. with Amy
Why did you start breeding?
I imported several GSD to further promote the true German Shepherd. Many breeders are breeding poor quality dogs that end up in shelters and degrade the breed. My goal is to breed top quality working dogs that are also wonderful family pets.What makes your program special?
I spend countless hours researching genetics, bloodlines, and titles. I want to breed the best... this will ensure our puppies go to quality homes and be nurtured to excel to their maximum potential. We work with our puppies from Day 1... through Puppy Culture and imprinting to starting obedience and potty training. When our puppies leave us, we want them to have a solid foundation.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
