Meet the breeder
I'm Matthew I., the breeder behind Peachy Puppies located in Ashland, OH. We raise our pups right in the heart of our family, so they grow up confident, cuddly, and used to all the love (and noise!) of a real home. Each puppy comes with a loyal heart, a smart mind, and the wonderful temperament German Shepherds are known for.
Q. & A. with Matthew
Why did you start breeding?
German Shepherd's have been part of us since we were young. Over time, we wanted to share the greatness of this breed with other families which inspired us to start breeding.What makes your program special?
Our pups are raised right in the middle of our everyday family life, surrounded by kids, love, and constant socialization. This gives them confident, well-rounded temperaments from the very start. We focus on strong, healthy genetics-carefully choosing our dogs for the structure, intelligence, and classic German Shepherd traits. The result? Well-rounded pups ready to thrive in their new home.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?
Our puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Peachy Puppies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
