I'm Vickie D., the breeder behind MAC K9 Dutch Shepherds located in Howey In The Hills, FL. MAC K9 Dutch Shepherds foundation breeding dogs are descendants of dogs bred in the Netherlands for the Dutch police dog breeding programs. We have produced well rounded puppies with traits that allow them to thrive in many different homes. From active pets to high level sport dog competitors.
Q. & A. with Vickie
Why did you start breeding?
From a young age I had mentors that were responsible breeders and confirmation show dog exhibitors. I learned from them and my first job in the veterinary field was working at a reproduction specialist vet clinic.
What makes your program special?
I work from home and dedicate most of my time to my dogs and puppies. Starting at day 3, my puppies are handled many times every day. I perform the military super dog bio-stimulation process on all my litters from 3 days till 13 days of age. This process stimulates the brain, cognitive function and sensory reactions in the pups. This has been proven to produce solid nerves and train-ability.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black brindle, yellow, gold brindle, and silver brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
