Meet the breeder

I'm Twila H., the breeder behind Twila Ruth Herot located in Perkasie, PA. We've offered AKC Registered Pure White and Silver German Shepherd puppies from our loving home to yours for five generations and counting! Our dogs are well-tempered, health-tested family companions with foundations that nurture curiosity, and obedience. They excel as family dogs, search and rescue, obedience and many have served as service dogs and even the show ring. They work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family, full of love and yet happy to quietly curl up on your feet each evening. We prepare all of our pups to excel in life!

    Verified owner · Sept. 2026

    We had such a wonderful experience working with Twila! As first-time German Shepherd owners, my husband Scott and I had a lot of questions, and she was always incredibly patient, honest, and helpful throughout the entire process. She kept us updated with photos and videos as the puppies grew, welcomed us to meet them in person, and really took the time to help us find the right girl for our family. She was also extremely accommodating with our pickup schedule and went above and beyond to make everything work for us. It was very clear from the beginning how much she loves her dogs and how much care goes into raising her puppies. We brought home our sweet Lucky and absolutely adore her. We are so grateful to Twila for trusting us with one of her puppies and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a German Shepherd. 💗

    Twila made the process of finding our puppy feel easy and thoughtful from the very start. She welcomed us for a pre‑visit, letting us quietly observe the puppies while explaining that, for their safety, we wouldn’t handle them yet. Her care, clarity, and commitment to matching us with the right puppy gave us total confidence. Thanks to her, we found the perfect match for our family.
