I'm Nicole G., the breeder behind Keystone German Shepards located in Spring Grove, PA. We raise our AKC German Shepherds in our home, where they’re loved and well-socialized from birth. Our goal is to produce healthy, confident puppies with excellent temperaments that grow into loyal family companions. We are committed to finding each puppy the right forever home.

Q. & A. with Nicole

Why did you start breeding?
Our love for German Shepherds inspired us to begin breeding. We wanted to raise puppies with stable temperaments, confidence, and the qualities that make this breed such loyal companions. We focus on providing excellent care from birth and supporting families before and after they bring their puppy home.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in our home as part of the family, where they receive daily socialization and individual attention. We prioritize health, temperament, and proper early development, and we’re committed to matching each puppy with the right home. We’re always available to answer questions and support our puppy families.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include plush, stock, and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
