Meet the breeder

I'm Gena P., the breeder behind Froschwald German Shepherds and Xanadu Teddy Roosevelt Terriers located in Murray, KY. We breed for structure, health and temperament, and follow the parent dog club guidelines to provide healthy and sound dogs. Our goal is to bring you versatile, loyal, devoted Shepherds or Teddy's.

Q. & A. with Gena

  • Why did you start breeding?

    30 years ago I bred rat terriers but my love for GSDs brought me back to Shepherds. Once retired I bought some acreage, built an indoor kennel and a large ex pen. I was surprised by an oops litter when my female had a silent heat, and even more surprised at the amazing pups my pair had thrown. I knew that with planned breedings the outcome would only get better.

  • What makes your program special?

    The love and respect that I have for the GSD. They are my furry kids. A lot of thought, planning, and preparation goes in to each litter. Once whelped I do Early Neurological Stimulation and sound desensitization, socialization and some training. I can't help but cry when they leave, but know they will be going to great homes. Our Teddy Roosevelt Terriers are Embark paneled and have their patella's and cardiac vet checked. Results are submitted to OFA so that each of our breeding dogs receive a CHIC#. he Canine Health Information Center, also known as CHIC, is a centralized canine health database jointly sponsored by the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF) and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). CHIC, working with participating parent clubs, provides a resource for breeders and owners of purebred dogs to research and maintain information on the health issues prevalent in specific breeds.

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

    German Shepherd puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

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

    Our Teddy Roosevelt Terrier puppies include white and chocolate, white and blue fawn, white and blue, white and lemon, white and sable, white and silver, white and black, blue and white, and black and white. German Shepherd 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 a kennel on my property.

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience with Gena and Xanadu’s TRTs. From the first time we talked, you could tell how much she cares about her Teddy Roosevelt Terriers. She was always happy to answer our questions and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Gibson has been the perfect addition to our family. He's such a happy, loving little guy with the best personality. He’s a natural in scentwork class and is loving agility! If you're thinking about getting a Teddy Roosevelt Terrier, we can't recommend Gena enough. She continues to be a great resource when we have any questions. It’s so much fun to see updates from his litter mates and all the other families too. Thank you! 🥰

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience getting my puppy from this breeder! From the very beginning, they were kind, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer my questions. It was obvious how much they genuinely care about their dogs and the homes they go to. When I met my puppy, she was healthy, well-socialized, confident, and full of personality. You can truly tell she was raised with so much love and care. The entire process was smooth, professional, and enjoyable, and I appreciated the support and communication every step of the way. I highly recommend this breeder to anyone looking for a healthy, well-bred puppy from someone who truly puts their heart into what they do. Thank you for trusting me with such an amazing addition to my family—I couldn’t imagine a better experience!

    Workin with Gena was great. Extremely caring and very imformative about Otis, Teddy’s and all my questions and follow up questions. Couldnt have asked for a better experience. Otis is a great dog and you can tell he’s had great folks around him. Was very easy to see how much she cares for not only her dogs but also theyre future owners and it shows in how much she wants to help in gettin them the best home/life possible. Highly recommend anyone lookin for a dog to reach out to Gena and become part of the Xanadu family. So happy i did and looking forward to may years with Otis.
