I'm Debra H., the breeder behind Tannhauser German Shepherds located in Chehalis, WA. We are dedicated to breeding the total German Shepherd Dog. We look to place our puppies in loving and caring homes.
Q. & A. with Debra
Why did you start breeding?
My grandparents had German Shepherd Dogs their entire life and passed their love and passion of the breed on to my mother and me. I was raised with my grandparents' German Shepherd dogs and our family German Shepherds and now I proudly carry on the tradition of the German Shepherd Dogs in my family.
What makes your program special?
I am not a commercial kennel; that is, I do not breed dogs for the purpose of turning a profit. I work and do not expect my dogs to earn my living! I am dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the breed, to combining only the most outstanding animals from the foremost bloodlines from Germany. I base each breeding on the desire to improve the overall quality of each generation, selecting the best possible breeding partners for my females, sparing no expense to provide for the temperament, health, longevity, intelligence and conformation in the resulting puppies.
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 are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
