Meet the breeder

I'm Nancy P., the breeder behind P & P Shepherds located in Pelham, NC. I am a dedicated German Shepherd breeder with six years of experience focused on raising healthy, well-balanced dogs that make loving family companions. My program prioritizes health and sound structure, with all dogs health tested through Embark and OFA hips and elbows to ensure the best start for every puppy. I carefully select for low to medium drives and stable temperaments, producing German Shepherds that are easy to live with, loyal, and great for everyday families. I appreciate the beauty of all colors and patterns and believe each dog is special in its own way. My goal is to raise confident, social, and affectionate companions that fit seamlessly into their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Nancy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It all started with one German Shepherd and that changed everything. I fell in love with the breed and just had to have more. They are the best breed I have ever had. Smart, funny, fun, protective and loyal till the end.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am not bias like some breeders with the colors and markings/patterns they can come in. I love them all. They are all naturally occurring in the breed.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include stock and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black seal, panda, isabella, black and tan, black and red, blue, and liver. 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.

    Nancy was so easy to work with. She welcomed and answered all my questions and gave me advice. She made sure to go over the contract with me and made sure I understood everything. She provided health and vaccination records. Nancy is very professional, well informed on her litters and treats them like they are family. She gave me some suggestions for bringing Heidi home. We have had Heidi home for a week now and Nancy and I have communicated well. She is very interested in how Heidi is doing, if she is fitting in and her behavior. Heidi is wonderful! A fast learner and she loves socializing with people and other fur babies. She had her first Vet appointment and our Vet was very happy with how healthy Heidi is and with the detailed records Nancy sent us home with. Thank you Nancy!

    On Saturday we made the 7 hour drive to pick up our girl. We are in love! This girl has suprised us from day one. When we made stops to set puppy pads down for her to use and stretch her legs, she was completely unfazed by the loud trucks parking or motorcycles driving by. Yesterday, we had her outside with the tractor running close by, she just stood there and took it all in. Along with all the "YES!" and "good girl" praises. I began lure training with her meals yesterday, food motivated girl! Today she had her establishment visit with our vet, everyone LOVED her. She wasn't bothered by the other dogs or office cat. Just again, took it all in. After her nap today, I did a small session with beef liver treats, found her high value treat! She's super smart, super loving. Can't wait to do more training with her. Working with P&P Shepards has been absolutely fantasic. You can definately tell our Kuma got a great start to her life.
