Q. & A. with Dana
Why did you start breeding?
I have had and worked with GSD dogs for over 30 years. I have seen so many bad GSD simply due to bad breeding that broke my heart and I want to fix that. So I want to only breed quality German Shepherds.
What makes your program special?
We put a good 2 years of training and testing into our females to make sure they are quality before even thinking about breeding them. If they don’t pass they don’t get breed. We want to stop this senseless breeding and breed quality dogs
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 and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

The pups are getting big and have graduated to the outdoor puppy pen for play time learning how to potty outside, learning different footing, using a doggie door seeing that there is a bigger world then the welping box. They are getting more attentive and will come running to you when you clap your hands.
