Why did you start breeding?
Although I am fairly new to breeding German Shepherds, I am excited to share my love for this breed with others who appreciate it just as much as I do! Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of these dogs, and I am committed to always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies.
What makes your program special?
I have a passion for excellence and healthy family pets. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience. I work hard to make sure that each puppy that I produce will be healthy, structurally sound, and have a desirable temperament. I am passionate about continuing my education for my program and look forward to sharing my knowledge with others!
