Marbany Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Brittany T., the breeder behind Marbany Kennels located in Muscatine, IA. We are especially dedicated to finding homes that will be permanent and productive. We are proud of our dogs and puppies. We are working towards producing dogs that not only are great pets but also have the capability of excelling in the Conformation Show Ring but can go out and do the job they're intended for, tending sheep.
Q. & A. with Brittany
What makes your program special?
We are a small breeding program of German Shepherds, we do not have multiple litters a year unlike some of the larger programs. We do this so we are able to devote ample time to each puppy and make sure they are loved and pampered from day 1.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
