Q. & A. with Rebecca
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding with Dianne Masters in Massachusetts. She taught me so much about these olde world Lon Coats. When she retired she placed her trust in me to continue the quality German Shepherds she was known for. Which we have done for 30 years now.What makes your program special?
It’s not about the money for us. It is about the love and devotion we receive from these dogs. We want to share it with the world. They are smart, beautiful, healthy, sound minded creatures. All the money we get for our pups goes to their upkeep. Toys, fencing, food, grooming, vets, shelters for outdoor play, treats -and the list goes on. We genuinely love what we do.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, red tri-color, black tri, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Rebecca

Rebecca partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.
" we take great care in watching the puppies as they grow. they live in our home and are raised around daily life. we have a playpen in kitchen and an outdoor fenced play area for the puppies. Super easy to housebreak because they are kept clean from day one. Which helps them learn they don't want to potty and live in yuck."
