Meet the breeder
I'm Karla G., the breeder behind Nosey Shepherds located in Stow, OH. We work in law enforcement and breeding AKC, pedigree GSD is a passion and our future . I also teach obedience classes. Our dogs interact with other family dogs/cat and children. Scent work is my speciality. My girl Kaia is trained to alert on guns and cadaver.
Q. & A. with Karla
Why did you start breeding?
The person I received my shepherd from has become a mentor and I have learned all the tricks of the trade from her. She is well recognized in the AKC and is very passionate about what she does.What makes your program special?
Our pups are raised around our family. They are socialized with dogs of every size and also children. Come whelping time, her and I move into the fully outfitted she-shed together! During non whelping time, Kaia is a member of the family. Never will you see my pups in cages or crates, or left alone in barns where their sole purpose is to be sold.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
