I'm Courtney G., the breeder behind Kryptonian & Kynthos German Shepherd Dogs located in Warwick, RI. I'm a hobby breeder of carefully selected German Shepherds. I breed to standard with the goal of bettering the breed. I am purposeful in everything that I do regarding my dogs, which includes careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments that are exemplary representations of the breed. I look forward to connecting!
Q. & A. with Courtney
Why did you start breeding?
I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that the breed will continue to thrive for a long time to come. The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever!
What makes your program special?
I do not produce a litter unless each of my parent dogs are fully healthy and excellent representations of the standard. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. I love what I do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
