I'm Christine V., the breeder behind Rain's Legacy German Shepherds located in Cullman, AL. At Rain's Legacy German Shepherds, we strive to better the German Shepherd breed, and breed for the correct structure, temperament, and trainability. Our puppies are handled and socialized from birth until they leave for their new homes.
Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
I have been breeding German Shepherds since 2007. I immediately fell in love with this breed and I cannot imagine having a home without one.What makes your program special?
My focus is to breed only the best of the best German Shepherds. I focus on the "old fashion" German Shepherds with straight backs. I don't believe in "line breeding" or working lines. I have had many of my puppies go to personal protection and personal service work of several therapeutic and medical needs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
