Meet the breeder

I'm Emily C., the breeder behind Holding Hands Farm located in White Salmon, WA. Living rurally on a large property, our dogs enjoy plenty of space to run, explore, and thrive. Our puppies are raised in the middle of everyday life with exposure to people, animals, sights, sounds, and new experiences from an early age, helping them grow into confident, well-rounded companions ready for their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Emily

Why did you start breeding?
I grew up breeding German Shepards on my family farm in Tennessee. I wanted to provide the community with well loved, well-socialized puppies that make a great addition to a loving home.
What makes your program special?
Personalized care in our home makes sure each puppy gets the attention and care it takes to raise a well behaved dog. Instilling characteristics that last the dogs lifetime will make the transition from pack life to family life smooth. We do daily handling routines and many different socializations to familiarize new puppies with the outside world
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are liver roan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
