Q. & A. with Amy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Have always admired their regal beauty, intelligence and working ability of the German Shepherd Dog. Our desire has always been to breed with great purpose for a total dog who can function in the family but with a passion for work.

  • What makes your program special?

    We spare no expense when it comes to our dogs! They are our family! They receive the best of veterinary care, including annual exams, bloodwork, vaccines, and preventatives. Our program is built on breeding dogs with strong pedigrees, longevity, structure, exceptional temperament and solid working ability. Our breeding dogs live in our home, on our 30-acre farm. All of the adult dogs are allowed to sleep on their Kuranda beds, floors, or in our bed.

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

    Our puppies are sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
