Meet the breeder

I'm Steven & Jennifer F., the breeder behind Fontana Farm located in Raceland, LA. We are a family farm of home-based hobby breeders that produce Dutch Shepherd puppies to those seeking working dogs, farm dogs and family pets. We aim to produce puppies that are both physically and mentally sound with drive for service work, sport and pet levels.

Q. & A. with Steven & Jennifer

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We own a male and female Dutch Shepherd as family pets with intent on keeping the bloodline of our two dutchies growing over-time for our small family farm.

  • What makes your program special?

    We are not professional breeders; we are a farm family that produce Dutch shepherd puppies as hobby breeders because we love the breed so much. We strive to produce quality puppies that are healthy, and both physically and mentally sound. We aim for a suitable drive that is interchangeable for work, sport or pets.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black brindle and gold brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I know this review is long overdue, but after having Draco for many months, I feel like I can give an honest perspective on just how great this experience has been. From the first conversation, the communication was excellent. Every question I had was answered quickly and thoroughly, and they made the entire process easy from start to finish. Since I was traveling from quite a distance, they were incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to help make everything work, which I really appreciated. Draco came home healthy, up to date on all of his vaccinations, and with the peace of mind of a health guarantee. It's clear they genuinely care about the health and well-being of the dogs they produce, not just the sale. Now that Draco has grown up, I can confidently say he has exceeded every expectation. He's intelligent, confident, loyal, athletic, and has an incredible temperament. He learns quickly, has been an absolute joy to train, and everywhere we go people stop to compliment him and ask about him. If you're looking for a breeder who truly cares about their dogs, communicates every step of the way, stands behind their puppies, and produces exceptional Dutch Shepherds, I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you again for giving me such an incredible companion. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

    Top notch. Steven and Jennifer were fantastic to work with. Jennifer is very knowledgeable. She’s prompt in replying and easy to ask questions. Steven met me with my pup (purple/Granita) now named Gracie. He brought a pup packet with vet info and records, plenty of kibble for the flight home, and toys and snacks. He hung out for a bit while Gracie got comfortable with me and was super helpful regarding her habits and temperament. Bottom line they’re great. Now the good stuff! It’s been a day and a half. I couldn’t ask for a more stable puppy. She’s got drive and a little spiciness, already taking to training. She’s also ready to plop down a chew a bully stick or nap in the house. Great balance. At 14 weeks she proceeded to sleep 2.5 hours on the flight, then walked off the plane and followed me through the Denver airport taking it all in. No reactivity, no barking or whining. A champion! I’m already recommending them to friends.

    Steven & Jennifer had a very timely response to the questions we had concerning our puppy. We initially had reservations about Good Dog as we have never used the platform before, but it is legitimate and makes paying very easy!

    It was our first time going through the process of buying a puppy, so we were very nervous. But, from the start, Steven and Jennifer were very patient, never had any problems answering our questions and always kept us updated with our puppy's progress. Red-Tiramisu (now Arlo) is a great addition to our family and is now on the road to becoming a service dog. Thank you Steven and Jennifer for everything!

    We recently lost our dog and found a picture on Good Dog of Fontana Farms dogs. We reached out and Jennifer was very responsive, answered all of my questions and we were able to get our puppy in the next few days. We were able to meet and see both of our puppys parents, a shot record and necessities were in a bag ready to go. Jennifer made this very easy. And we love our puppy, Blue! He is beautiful and this could not have gone any better. Thank you for such a great experience!
