Q. & A. with Deborah
Why did you start breeding?
I have raised three litters of beagles but have always wanted to breed German Shepherds. I was waiting for just the right dog and the right time.What makes your program special?
I have put a lot of time and energy into breeding these puppies. They mean so much to me, and I love each one. They are raised in our home, in fact we set up the whelping box right in our spacious bedroom/living room space. The puppies have stayed there until they were 4 weeks old, so I could keep a close eye on their every move. They are being raised for your home with love and care.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
