Meet the breeder

I'm Starr P., the breeder behind Galaxy German Shepherds located in Saegertown, PA. Our focus is to produce high quality dogs so that other families can also enjoy the love of a German Shepherd.

Q. & A. with Starr

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started researching and looking into breeding when my first german shepherd was about 2 years old. I quickly realized how much went into this! I have learned so much and grown even within our program and strive to get better and better! We love to share our love for these amazing dogs and be supportive to families as i have had some amazing mentors help me through our journey.
  • What makes your program special?

    We raise our puppies in our home & expose them to many sights, sounds and experiences before they go home. We fully vet check, microchip and spoil our puppies before they go to their new homes! We care about these dogs from the moment they are born until they cross the rainbow bridge. We will ALWAYS take ANY of our pups and dogs back when needed and provide support for the rest of the dogs life.
  • 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 black and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    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.

  • Multiple Drug Sensitivity (MDR1), 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).
