Meet the breeder

I'm Katy A., the breeder behind K-9 Twenty Nine: Vom Bauernhaus German Shepherds located in Needham, IN. Our mission is to produce top quality working GSD pups that are functional, structurally sound, and healthy lifelong companions. We look forward to connecting with you!

Q. & A. with Katy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I really love genetics and once we got involved in Schutzhund, I was really interested in creating some truly versatile dogs that are naturally protective of their family, could excel in bite sports, AKC sports, security, or law enforcement while also being a quality family companion with a nice off switch- with emphasis on genetic health and structural soundness (good hips and elbows).
  • What makes your program special?

    Growing up, my dad was a K-9 handler for the Indianapolis Police Department, so I have been around working dogs for most of my life. We make it a priority to place pups with the handler or family that we beloved suits them best based on their needs and lifestyle. Not every pup in my litters are a schutzhund prospect, just like not all of them are pet companion prospects.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

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

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Katy was responsive and great at communicating. Its been 1.5 years since I picked up my dog and I have zero complaints. If I were to ever buy another puppy I definitely will look at K-9 Twenty Nine.

    Katy was an amazing person to work with! After our prior experience with a bad breeder working with Katy was a breath of fresh air, she was straight forward and willing to ask any questions we asked! We still keep in contact as promised by her! I highly recommend working with her our new pup is gorgeous!
