I'm Tanna R., the breeder behind Gnadehund German Shepherds located in Idaho. German Shepherds are utility dogs. As a breeder, it is important to always stick to utility dog breeding program, otherwise, you are no longer breeding German Shepherds! I focus on health, structure, solid nerves, and utility. I title and train my own dogs.
Q. & A. with Tanna
Why did you start breeding?
I had a very special male that I wanted a pup from but I could not find the right female to breed to so I imported an adult female. Training dogs is my first love. I only breed once every other year or so.
What makes your program special?
My focus is to produce healthy and beautiful working line dogs!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
