Freda, mom
German Shepherd
About Freda
Freda is our main breeding female here at Pine Hill German Shepherds, and a beloved family member. There are truly no words to express what a special dog Freda is to me. She has been a huge part of my life, and I am very thankful for her. Freda is a dark sable German Shepherd. Her build is slight and agile—she’s made to run and work. She has a strong desire to please and an impressive working drive. A true high-drive working German Shepherd, Freda thrives when she has a job to do and is exceptionally well-behaved in her work. She is specially trained in search and rescue and excels in it!
