I'm Jessica H., the breeder behind Hughston German Shepherds located in Mc Bain, MI. I offer quality puppies from carefully planned litters. I focus on temperament, soundness, and beauty. I love my German Shepherds! My dogs are bred to produce healthy, and versatile pups. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel and have the ability to be the greatest family companions.

Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
