Q. & A. with Alex
Why did you start breeding?
I have been around GSDs since I was a young growing up in Europe. I wanted to have my kids grown up with the same quality and temperament dogs we had as when I was young.
What makes your program special?
We only breed the highest quality dogs which are titled, health tested and have a passing score for hips and elbows. This aligns with all the European standards for breeding.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black, and bi-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.
