Meet the breeder

I'm Robin D., the breeder behind Runchkin Hill K9 located in Newburyport, MA. We're home-based breeders offering top-quality Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds with good temperament and excellent health! As a professional dog trainer, I am passionate about preparing my puppies to excel in their new lives with their forever families. I would be honored to connect with you and discuss the opportunity to provide you with one of my phenomenal puppies!

Q. & A. with Robin

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I breed to produce excellent family pets that are healthy with great temperaments. It is an honor to represent these breeds and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in sharing my life with these exquisite dogs!
  • What makes your program special?

    As an experienced dog trainer, I ensure that all of my puppies have the ability to transition seamlessly into their new homes. I also incorporate temperament testing and Canine Good Citizen testing in my program. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, cuteness is guaranteed, and lots of love is always included!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    German Shepherd puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
