I'm Ashleigh H., the breeder behind MaeBella Shepherd Kennels located in Warner Robins, GA. We are Ashleigh & Matthew Handley. We are thrilled to be bringing you beautifully bred AKC Registered German Shepherd Puppies. With our knowledge and love, we can place you with the perfect puppy. We can’t wait to meet you!
Q. & A. with Ashleigh
Why did you start breeding?
We first got into breeding when someone reached out to us in regards to using our Pomeranian, Jasper, as a stud. We agreed, but didn't have much to do with the process other than providing the stud. After we met the puppies once they arrived, I knew my breeding journey had only just begun.
What makes your program special?
Our Shepherds are more than just a breeding program to us. They are our family, our pets, our children. With our program being completely in home, our puppies receive one on one interaction with our family every single day. We specifically focus on Biosensor Training during day 3 to 16 and build strong and smart puppies!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

It was a great experience working with MaeBella Shepherd Kennels. They were extremely friendly and always providing updates on the puppies. Our puppy has such a nice temperament and is a great addition to our family. Would definitely recommend getting your next shepherd from them.

Ashley from MaeBella Shepherd Kennels was great! Kept us updated on our puppy “Lobo” the entire time before he was ready to come home. When we did pick him up she was very informative and all the puppies looked great. He is a great addition to our family.
