I'm Brittany R., the breeder behind Blutmond German Shepherds located in North Providence, RI. Please visit my web-site for in-depth info, litter announcements, and contact info! blutmondgermanshepherds. com I strive to breed quality dogs for sports & service work. My goal is to produce healthy, versatile dogs with great temperaments that are true representations of the utilitarian breed.
Q. & A. with Brittany
Why did you start breeding?
I'm very fortunate to own a GSD who is a true representation of the utilitarian breed and so many people have expressed how much they love the stable temperament and drive that he has. I decided to help improve the breed by producing more dogs who are true representations of the breed like he is. Breeding for workability, stability, temperament, structure, and health is most important to me.What makes your program special?
I strive to produce dogs who are an excellent example of the breed. While the dogs I produce would do well in active pet homes, I strive to produce dogs who will excel in sport homes & service work. I'm dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and placing my puppies in their new homes. I raise puppies using Puppy Culture, ENS, & ESI.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include 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, and bi-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
