Patterson Polar Bears
Meet the breeder
I'm Cathy P., the breeder behind Patterson Polar Bears located in Crandall, GA. We breed loving and smart AKC registered White German Shepherd puppies. We dearly love our dogs and are dedicated to what we do! We are an in-home program where our dogs are our companions first and foremost. We are committed to providing each of our puppies with loving and caring forever homes.
Q. & A. with Cathy
Why did you start breeding?
I have had almost every breed growing up, but never a German Shepherd. After our last dog passed, we decided on a German Shepherd for our new pet. That was it - I was in love and amazed by how smart and loyal they are. That’s when I decided to start breeding to promote what we loved most.What makes your program special?
Our dogs live with us as part of our family and are well cared for. They even have their own couch in the living room. We form friendships and keep in contact with the families that adopt one of our puppies and are always here to help. All pups are also sent to their new home with a welcome bag of goodies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
