Meet the breeder
I'm Lindsey P., the breeder behind Alte Schule Shepherds located in Mountainburg, AR. I try to enhance and follow the breed standard. Through genetic testing, and certification I like to breed to a high standard. My program is focused on producing puppies that are healthy, well-structured, and have outstanding temperaments. I have high expectations for my puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home.
Q. & A. with Lindsey
Why did you start breeding?
As I grew older, I could afford to purchase a very well bred , health tested puppy from an exceptional breeder. In talking to many friends and networking online I realized how few ethical breeders existed in my area or state. This made me dig my heels in, so more research and reaching across state lines to learn about other Breeders guidelines. It become a passion of love and determination.What makes your program special?
I think everyone probably thinks their program is more special. My dogs are family to me and the puppies are family, I stay in touch through the process and life of the dog. Breeder Support and continued research of enhancing the breed standard are a few of my proudest characteristics.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include plush, stock, and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black, black and tan, bi-color, and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
