Pine Creek Kennels
- Ludington, MI
Meet the breeder
I'm Romelia S., the breeder behind Pine Creek Kennels located in Ludington, MI. Our dogs are bred for their health, conformation, and drive. I do not believe in producing low drive German Shepherds. True quality German Shepherds should be able to match a dog breed like a Malinois or Dutch shepherd with no problem.
Q. & A. with Romelia
Why did you start breeding?
I got passion from fellow GSD & Dutch shepherd breeders. I fell in love with both breeds & I would love to bring stable healthy puppies into the world that anyone can enjoy.What makes your program special?
What makes us special is the fact that we are producing German Shepherd‘s that are difficult to find anywhere else in the world. There are really only a handful of breeders who are doing what we are trying to do and I feel like the more we put it out there the more successful it will become.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 include sable, black, black and red, black and tan, and bi-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

xDutch Shepherd
Pine Creek Kennels 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 Dutch 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
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.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
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).
