I'm Carl F., the breeder behind DHS Kennels located in Beaumont, TX. I am new to breeding German Shepherds. I feel excited and energetic at this new path. I am doing everything I can to educate myself with the intention of bettering my program for the well-being of my dogs and puppies. I want to make sure I am providing responsible, top-notch quality puppies to ensure my dogs are given the best chance at being lifelong members to your family.
Q. & A. with Carl
Why did you start breeding?
We found that we wanted to share the wonderful energy, personality, and love we get from our dogs with others. I love my dogs and want to help ensure other people can experience how wonderful they are while also growing the community of good breeding. WE began by doing our research, asking questions of other breeders, and making hard choices ensuring we do right by our dogs and the breed.
What makes your program special?
I think what makes our program special are our dogs, and our commitment to do right by our dogs and their puppies. We want our puppies to have homes and owners similar to us. Those who love their dogs, have the time to be with, train, and work your dogs, and who will do everything they can to make their time with us enjoyable, long lived, and fulfilled.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
