I'm Tina H., the breeder behind Mountainside Working Dogs located in White Post, VA. We offer quality Dutch Shepherds x Malinois puppies for competitors and active families. My dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. I prepare all of my pups to thrive in their new forever homes by focusing on socialization and preparing the puppy for every day encounters.
Q. & A. with Tina
Why did you start breeding?
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. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!
What makes your program special?
I focus on breeding dogs that have enough working drive to keep up with my lifestyle, but also have amazing temperaments and can quickly adapt to a calm family setting. I am passionate about Dutch Shepherds, and my love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of my breeding program. It would be a pleasure to connect you with your next Dutch Shepherd puppy!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
