Q. & A. with Jorge
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding by just falling in love with German shepherds especially the dark sables and I just wanted to continue the bloodline of my German shepherd.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because our pups come out in great health and we stand by that and they look just amazing when they are going to there forever homes.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black. 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.
