Q. & A. with Toni Ann

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I am a life long breeder reciving the love of helping life into this world from my mother. I grew up helping care for our dogs. I always had a furry friend to talk to on the worst and best days of my life growing up. The most wonderful thing about being a breeder is being part of happy families with happy dogs. I absorb any information related to animals and love learning new things every day.

  • What makes your program special?

    I strive for the perfect family dog. My shepherds are picked for temperament the middle of the road dogs that any family can enjoy. My shepherds are not only smart but have good minds that want to please. Your going to find I have chosen to breed on the larger side and ad some non standard traits such as long coat that really makes them stand out.

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

    Our puppies include sable, black, black and red, black and tan, black and cream, and bi-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    Toni Ann was very knowledgeable about her German Shepherds and very responsive. She answered all of my million questions and kept me updated about our sweet boy, Nox. He is an incredible dog who loves his kiddos! Nox is also protective of them and follows them around like a shadow! He is a great dog, and we will definitely be getting another pup from Toni Ann in the future!

    Toni Ann was great to work with! She sent pictures and updates every week, and when I asked to extend the pick up date due to work constraints, she worked with me so I could finish my project and pick up Maggie a few weeks later when I could devote 100% of my time to her. Everything was in order, and the pick-up and transfer were super easy! Maggie is the BEST dog!! I love Shepherds and have always had one, but she is by far my favorite. The level of intelligence and ease of training are impressive!
