I'm Tina M., the breeder behind T'S SHEPHERDS located in Coats, NC. We offer top-quality, well-bred dogs, bred for family pets with a focus on conformation, intelligence, and athleticism. All of these characteristics are crucial qualities in a well-bred German Shepherd, this makes for a well-rounded family pet.
Q. & A. with Tina
Why did you start breeding?
I bought a very nice, beautiful chocolate female lab and a friend asked me to breed her to his working lab. The result was a fantastic litter of beautiful lab pups. They were such awesome family pets and hunting dogs. One made the cover of Ducks Unltd. We retired the females. Eight years later I decided to get a GSD from my friend who is a great breeder of working lines as well as family friendly quality pups.What makes your program special?
We play with the pups daily, and they are socialized so that when they go to their forever homes they are not scared or shy. The adult dogs run every day with my husband when he feeds our cows. They love attention and treats. We take time with them as well so they don't get lost in the puppies. All our dogs love attention and belly rubs.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, black, and bi-color. 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.

Tina was so responsive and kept me updated on puppy. My puppy is doing great, she still a little shy in public, but she awesome. She fully potty trained and learning manners right now.
