Q. & A. with Samantha
Why did you start breeding?
Samantha began breeding Dutch Shepherds out of deep admiration for their incredible work abilities, unwavering drive, and engaging temperament. Her bond with her first Dutch Shepherd, Shelby, who saved her life by alerting her to a stroke, sparked her passion. Shelby’s heroism and loyal spirit inspired Samantha to share these extraordinary traits with others through responsible breeding.What makes your program special?
My Dutch Shepherd program stands out for its unwavering commitment to excellence. I prioritizes health, correct conformation, mental stability, & exceptional working ability, ensuring each dog excels both physically & mentally. Unlike conventional breeders, I keeps my puppies until 10 weeks old, providing the time & care needed to prepare them for life’s challenges with confidence & resilience.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black brindle, yellow, silver brindle, and gold brindle. 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.

Litter update on 24 Mar •…Our sweet Rocket is still looking for his special handler, somebody who wants to do serious protection or sports with him, somebody who isn’t looking for a weekend warrior partner but somebody who has serious goals in mind wether that be sport or personal protection.
Coquito and Jax's litter

Litter update on 17 Mar •…The twice baked potato’s are 5 days old today and doing great, they have all nearly doubled their birthweights and are smashing every milestone.

Litter update on 05 Mar •…It looks like Keeper will give us 4-5 little oopsie babies which is a relief, I did not want her to have a massive litter and put too much strain on her body. Please send prayers our way for her safety, health and the puppies health. She is 55/56 days along, just a few more days left.

Dutch Shepherd
About Keeper
Keeper is my beloved, bred by, owner handled Dutch Shepherd female who embodies the balance, clarity, and versatility the breed was intended to represent. She possesses high prey drive and high toy drive, paired with moderate defensive and food drive, giving her a thoughtful, controllable working temperament rather than a chaotic one. What truly sets Keeper apart is her remarkable off switch—a trait that is increasingly rare and deeply valued. She lives freely in the home, is non-destructive, exceptionally quiet, and highly intelligent. Keeper sleeps with her handler, Samantha, and transitions seamlessly between active work and calm companionship. In the home and in public settings, Keeper is stable, social when appropriate, and excellent with children. She demonstrates clear environmental awareness without unnecessary reactivity, making her equally suited for family life and serious work. Her ability to read situations and respond appropriately reflects both strong genetics and sound nerve. Keeper is the definition of a true dual-purpose dog: a devoted companion with real working ability. She earned the PPD Basic Obedience Championship in 2025 and is currently training toward PPD bite sport trialing in 2026, where she is already showing strong promise and confidence on the field. Physically, Keeper is on the smaller end of the standard but remains well within it, standing 27 inches tall and weighing 47 pounds. Her size contributes to her athleticism, agility, and endurance without sacrificing power or presence. Keeper represents the original vision of the Dutch Shepherd: clear-headed, balanced, capable, and deeply bonded to her handler—a dog equally at home protecting, working, or simply living as an exceptional companion.

Dutch Shepherd
About Vapor
Vapor, my Dutch Shepherd, is a truly exceptional example of the breed, showcasing incredible workability, sharp intelligence, correct conformation, and complete dentition. His drive and focus are evident in his impressive list of titles, including PPD-P, PPD-1, PPD-2, Utility Dog (UD), Advanced Obedience (GO), Advance Obedience and Agility, Utility Dog Plus and 2025 Police Dog Demo, Notably, he triumphed as the Appie Kamps Challenger Cup winner in 2024, a testament to his skill and dedication in bite sports. He has also earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Community Canine (CGCA), and Urban Canine Good Citizen (CGCU) titles, further demonstrating his well-rounded temperament and training. Beyond his performance abilities, Vapor's intelligence shines through in his trainability and problem-solving skills. He possesses a keen understanding and eagerness to please, making him a joy to work with in various disciplines, from the complexities of Utility and Advanced Obedience to the precision required in bite sports. His correct conformation not only contributes to his athletic prowess but also aligns perfectly with the breed standard. Furthermore, his correct dentition is a hallmark of his sound breeding. Despite his intense drive and focus during training and competition, Vapor possesses a remarkable social temperament out of drive. He is exceptionally good with children and puppies, displaying a gentle and patient nature. Inside the home, he is an easygoing and calm companion, seamlessly transitioning from a high-drive working dog to a relaxed family member. Vapor truly embodies the ideal Dutch Shepherd – a capable and driven working dog with an outstanding temperament and exemplary breed characteristics, as evidenced by his diverse range of accomplishments.

Dutch Shepherd
About Danja
Danja is the epitome of the well-rounded fawn genetically no Dutch Shepherd. Her exceptional workability in bite work highlights her intense drive and unwavering focus, truly showcasing her breed's capabilities. What makes Danja truly special, however, is her profound ability to "turn off" that drive. She seamlessly integrates into family life, showering affection on all people of all ages. Inquisitive, loving, and with an undeniable desire to please her handler, Danja is a delight in every interaction. She embodies a rare and perfect balance: gentle and patient when circumstances require, yet capable of an instant and powerful engagement when her skills are needed. Danja is, without a doubt, the ideal representation of a true Malinois – a harmonious fusion of profound drive and a brilliant mind. BRN46580

Samantha is the best breeder i’ve met. i spent 3 years vetting breeders for my perfect puppy. i’ve dreamed of getting a dutchie sd prospect for a long time and because of samantha, that dream is now a reality. finding a truely ethical breeder is a challenge for all breeds. i was looking for a puppy off of health tested, titled, proven dogs. after finding her on gooddog, i looked up her kennel on instagram and was absolutely amazed. vapor and keeper are truly incredible examples of the breed. after reaching out and vetting each other, i was put on her waitlist, and i was, by the grace of god, paired with a puppy out of this litter. my girl runa is everything i wanted and more. shes a fast learner, amazing temperament, healthy, and already my best friend. samantha is not only there to answer your questions before and during getting a puppy, but shes also there to support you after you bring home your best friend. everything in her program is a green flag, and she’s super sweet aswell. weather you’re loking for a k9, ppd, sport dog, service dog, or active companion, if you’re looking for a dutchie you’ve found the most incredible breeder

+5Samantha was amazing. Not only were the puppies, absolutely gorgeous, but her attention to detail and her willingness to help answer my questions was outstanding. I have not owned a Dutchie before so I had some questions. I also appreciated the fact that she really wanted to make sure that I was the right fit for the puppy as well. The whole process was seamless and my beautiful dog echo is amazing.

My husband and I had a fantastic experience getting our newest addition to the family! Samantha is just great, she responded within a few hours of us reaching out and was ready to work at our pace. We were able to schedule a pick up date that week and she was super accommodating of our long drive. When we arrived for pickup she had our puppy freshly bathed and nails trimmed with a nice little care package to take home with toys puppy liked and the food she had been feeding her! She talked us through her feeding routine and had a packet with all of puppy's info, including medical, aptitude and temperament and just some good general breed information. Our new puppy is curious, super affectionate, playful and just so cute. She's already settling into our routine and is making great progress with learning where to signal to go outside. We can tell already she is going to be such a rewarding dog to train and is going to fit in to our family perfectly! We're so happy we decided to get our puppy from Samantha and you will be too!

I recently purchased my puppy from Samantha, and the entire experience was incredibly positive. From the very beginning, Samantha was transparent, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the dogs she raises. She kept me updated with photos, answered every question with patience, and made sure I felt confident and prepared for this new chapter. When I finally met my puppy, it was clear how much care, socialization, and love had gone into those early weeks. My puppy came home healthy, happy, and already well‑adjusted. I’m so grateful for Samantha’s dedication and the smooth, supportive process that helped me find the perfect companion.

+5Samantha was incredible from start to finish! I was looking for my first dog, and she responded almost immediately, and offered to hop on a call whenever was convenient for me so that I could ask about anything and everything. She was also very accommodating of my timeline, holding the pup that I was interested in with nothing more than an expression of my genuine interest from me. The actual pickup went great. Samantha and Tommy welcomed me into their home, let me spend some time with the puppy, ask questions, and even meet his parents. Left with thorough documentation and a goody bag to help me get started. It's clear that she cares deeply about all of her dogs. Evidenced by not only the care given before pickup, but by her continued support in the weeks since. I literally can't imagine how someone could do a better job raising Dutchie puppies, getting them ready for new homes.
