Peakes Brook Shepherds
Meet the breeder
I'm Rebecca L., the breeder behind Peakes Brook Shepherds located in Delhi, NY. Our goal for each litter is to improve the German Shepherd. We aim for happy, healthy dogs that are suitable for the show ring, and also make great family pets.
Q. & A. with Rebecca
Why did you start breeding?
Our German Shepherds are a part of our family, first and foremost. We have been breeding shepherds since the mid 1990s, but have had a lifetime commitment to the breed. I have been recognized as a Breeder of Merit by AKC.What makes your program special?
Each new puppy owner can expect us to keep in contact through the years. We are always available for any question, large or small. Our dogs have wonderful temperament, and we make sure all of our puppies are well-socialized. Each of our pups goes to its new home with an AKC registration, a written contract, information on socialization, crate-training, how puppies develop, games to play with a puppy, a 4-generation pedigree, pictures of the parents, vaccine records, and a letter from our vet stating that each pup was found physically healthy.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
