Meet the breeder
I'm Mark A., the breeder behind Dettaalpha Kennels located in Lake Charlse, LA. hi!! welcome to DETTAALPHA kennels, health and longevity are not marketing words - they are our foundation. we are dedicated to producing German shepherd with long, vibrant life spans, strong immune systems and sound structure that allows them to thrive well into their senior years. My breeding philosophy is built around one core principle: a great dog is not impressive at one year old - it is strong, stable and healthy at ten.
Q. & A. with Mark
Why did you start breeding?
My journey started when my 2nd pet and I created a bond that was unmatched, I decided that this dogs should be honored and remember in my story forever. the intelligence and agility this one animal had was special, all because of the help of human supervision whilst her mom was giving birth and the assistance to help parents with successful 4 weeks b4 weening. I am a breeder for human support.What makes your program special?
Our dogs and pups are a one of a kind bloodline and physique they are high drive but know when to calm it down for some family time. Our German shepherd has no records of bloodline health issue how ever my oldest is 12 and had never need any medical checkup other than yearly check ups. Great temperament when it comes to on to different activities and that’s what build this bloodline to be so greatWhat are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include plush and stock coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, black and red, black and cream, and bi-color. 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.
