Q. & A. with Jerry
Why did you start breeding?
We got our 1st GSD female as a pet, but later decided since she passed all the hip and elbow testing, is genetically clear, she is great with children, and a good guard dog, that we should take steps toward raising puppies! Plus our children absolutely love having puppies!!
What makes your program special?
What makes our breeding program special is that our dogs are all hip and elbow certified and are genetically clear. They get to roam the farm with us and all our puppies do well with children as our kids are always playing with them!
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 are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
