Each pup is treated like a family member, microchiped, and UTD on all vaccines.
Q. & A. with Stacey
Why did you start breeding?
We got our first german shepherd 15 years old and he was the best dog ever! Since having Duke, I have been dedicated to only raising the best german shepherds. We imported our female last September. She is the prime example of a german shepherd. Bonny is a very stable female that loves everything and everyone. She is also all business on the field.
Parents are always heath tested and titled.
All of my puppies are raised in a family environment with lots of farm animals.
What makes your program special?
Health testing and titling is very important to us. We want to only produce the best Shepherds and Hunts who can lead working or family pet lives.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
German Shepherd puppies include stock and plush coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our American Hunt Terrier puppies include blue, chocolate, black and tan, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
