Firelight German Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Brandy P., the breeder behind Firelight German Shepherds located in Louisville, KY. We breed German Shepherds for beauty, brains, and to the standard. We go above and beyond for the well-being of our dogs and pups. I own only a few select German Shepherds at any one time and do not mass-produce puppies. I breed to improve the quality of the true German Shepherd Dog for family, work, or sport.
Q. & A. with Brandy
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first Euro-lined German Shepherd as a puppy about 15 years ago. He changed my life for the better. He was such a high-quality dog, I knew I had to continue his line through breeding. Breeding has become such a big part of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way.What makes your program special?
I am continually striving to learn and better this noble breed. I read lots of books, take online classes, watch webinars, etc. I love learning about this breed, dogs in general, and breeding practices. I promise to provide top-quality care to all of my dogs and litters.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
