Meet the breeder
I'm Emily G., the breeder behind Goodwin Heritage Homestead located in Georgia. Our goal is to produce pups of sound mind and body with great dispositions able to transition well from the farm to home life. We adore English Shepherds. Our dogs have enriched our lives in ways we never imagined, and we are so happy to be able to share the wonderful qualities of the breed with others. Owning an English Shepherd is a beautiful experience, and it would be our honor to connect you with the perfect new addition to your family.
Q. & A. with Emily
Why did you start breeding?
We have always had dogs, but we never considered breeding until we got an English Shepherd. Ranger changed everything for us. He helps us guard and protect our property and livestock, he makes chores easier, and he is our children's best friend. We had never met such an amazing dog or breed. We knew we had to share this amazing dog with others.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are working farm dogs. Our puppies need to be placed on farms or homesteads or a place where they can have a job. We do not place our puppies until after a formal evaluation at 7 weeks old. We then place based on temperament and NOT on gender or appearance. We want your puppy to be your lifelong friend and helper.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
