Hello to all, I found Kristie on Good Dog after looking at her profile I checked with the AKC breeders posts and found her there as well. Nothing but good things were posted about her breeding program. She might be new to the world of Certified Breeder's but she has hit the mark perfectly. I selected a female puppy at 6 weeks and had to wait a few weeks to bring her home. In the meantime Kristie sent me updates and photos. Her response and kindness was heart warming. She answered all my concerns about the genetic testing she did on the father and the mother dogs. I was concerned because a previous breeder in southern Georgia sold me a dog stated it was healthy she ended up with extreme food allergies and when she turned eight she had ivdd which is a neurological disease that German Shepherds get you can do testing to help not pass this long to your pups I had to put her down at 9 years old. Kristie was open and shared the medical information openly. My girl's 1st vet visit was A +. She hasn't had any issues with food or worms. No fleas or hot spots either. He ears were clean and so was her skin and fur. Unlike my previous experience. Bella is healthy and playful and a pure joy. She is loving brave and loves our grandchildren as well as our 5 year old GSD. Bella loves her kennel and sleeps through the night right from the 1st night. She has been potty trained and goes right to the back door when she needs to go potty. We only have had a few pee accidents if we miss her que. We are training her to ring a bell still working on that. I would HIGHLY recommend Kristie's pups. We were late picking up Bell due to traffic but Kristie offered to drive even further to meet us after a long day of driving herself. It was over 5.5 hours just for us she help us find a place to meet that was safe and closer for me. Kristie explained Bella's schedule for shots and feeding. She asked if I would keep in touch. (The past breeder just got her money and was on her way she didn't want us to see where she had her pups. She never offered to show us the Sir or mother dog.) Kristie was warm and so sweet she was glad to have us come all the way to her if I wanted to. I am so very happy with our girl Bella Blue of Oakley Acres. I choose to include Oakley Acres in her AKC registration Kristie has gone over the top with her Certified Breeding program.
Thank you,
Regina Kelly and Bella

Kristie was a great breeder to buy a puppy from. She sent us weekly photos and did a great job describing each pups personality so we could pick the right one for our family. Since we’re from a different state she met us at the airport with the puppy and a bag of his food. I would buy another puppy from her in a heartbeat.

Kristie was amazing to work with and quick to respond to my messages. The whole process went smoothly and I would gladly come to Kristie for another puppy in the future and recommend anyone to consider her as their breeder!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
