Q. & A. with Kristen
Why did you start breeding?
I first started breeding quality show shetlands and have moved to quality AKC German Shepherds, I believe in quality over quantity and will only produce the best tempermerments, genetics, and bloodlines to improve the lines for a long term companion for families, search and rescue or police work.
What makes your program special?
My puppies can go any direction. They can be family pets to police dogs their potential is unlimited, and they have the temperament to handle anything. We live with our puppies from day one and handle them everyday they are raised with us and not in a kennel like most breeders do.

Our puppies have stock coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Pheonix Farm 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.
Temperament Test, 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).
