J&A Shepherd's

Amber K.

Breeder of German Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Amber K., the breeder behind J&A Shepherd's located in Kewaunee, WI. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament. We focus on providing healthy, family pets. We strive to keep in contact with all owners and ensure a lifelong happy home for our pups. We currently have 2 beautiful GSDs in our family and look forward to adding to our program in the future!

Q. & A. with Amber

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My parents bred while I was growing up, so I have been involved in this world for my whole life. I love German Shepherds and was excited to start my own program. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
  • What makes your program special?

    I have a small program that is focused on good family dogs at an affordable price. Because our program is so small, we are able to provide each dog and puppy with the best care and all of the attention they need. We spoil each of our puppies with personal attention and lots of group playtime. It would be our pleasure to introduce you to your next GSD puppy!
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include stock and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable and bi-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Amber

Amber has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.

Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.

Price

Puppy prices include a $300 non-refundable deposit and between $600 - $900 final payment, before taxes & fees.

“Puppies are available at two prices. For $900, ownership of the puppy will be transferred to the buyer with Limited AKC Registration on a Spay/Neuter Contract. We require the puppy to be spayed/neutered when age appropriate, to be determined by a licensed vet. Age recommendation, unless medically necessary, of no sooner than 2 years old to allow for proper growth and development. For $1200, ownership of the puppy will be transferred to the buyer with Full AKC Registration with breeding rights. Part of our contract for these puppies includes not breeding the pup until they are 2 years or older and have appropriate health testing completed, including but not limited to DM and OFA. The $300 non-refundable deposit is to be paid after signing the agreement, and the remaining balance is to be paid before the puppy leaves with the buyer.”

Contract & health guarantee

Amber may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Amber offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Amber directly.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

J&A Shepherd's reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
