Q. & A. with Heather
What makes your program special?
These puppies have been raised with so much love and attention from the day they were born to help them grow into their full confidence and potential. I believe the best nutrition for dogs is real meat and they have been fed a homemade meat based diet. They are extremely well socialized with daily adventures (inside & outside) , loud noises, children, cats and so much more.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

About Laleh Ziba
Laleh is the sweetest love full of kisses for everyone. She is very calm and observant. I trained her to be a lover to everyone and not a guard dog and she is exactly what I asked of her. She has always been right by my side with full attention even without a leash as a puppy. She is a unique intuitive German Shepherd who's favorite place in life is right by my side. She has been a wonderful gentle mother to her pups. She has a beautiful sable coat with deep reds.
