Meet the breeder

I'm Keri U., the breeder behind Urekar Haus located in Tipp City, OH. We offer loving and protective family pets. Our babies are American Kennel Club certified. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament. We are dedicated to sharing intelligent, athletic and loyal companions to families. Our dogs and puppies are exposed to all stages of life in people, dogs, cats and other small animals. Puppies are raised in the home by mom and dad.

Q. & A. with Keri

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We would never consider ourselves “dog breeders”, however, we are so proud of our GSD that breeding them made sense. Their intelligence, loyalty, temperament and quality health is something we wish to share with other loving homes.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our planned litters are special because we only expect 2-3 breedings from our Dam.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include long, stock, and plush coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, black and tan, black and red, black and silver, blue, and liver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

    I’m so glad to have gotten to work with Keri on adopting Goose. She is knowledgeable and I was very happy to see how well cared for their dogs are. Keri has always been reachable throughout the adoption process and has checked in on us numerous times. Goose’s temperament is fantastic and he’s been picking up on training really quickly. I’m so glad to have him in my life!

    Working with Keri to bring home Copper (formerly 'Orange Boy') was one of the best breeder experiences I could have hoped for. I came to Keri after losing my soul dog Sam of 13 years, and I was doing careful, thorough research to find the right German Shepherd breeder. What stood out about Keri from our very first conversation was her transparency, her genuine care for her dogs, and the depth of her knowledge about her lines. She answered every question honestly, including the hard ones, and never oversold any of her puppies. The visit to meet her, Banner, Natasha, and the whole litter confirmed everything I'd hoped. Her dogs live in her home as family. The puppies were clean, healthy, and well-socialized. Banner in particular completely won me over with his sweet, confident, snuggly temperament, and Keri's honest read on which puppy would fit my specific lifestyle turned out to be exactly right. She placed me with Copper knowing his medium-drive, middle-of-the-road temperament matched what I actually needed, and she was right. Keri kept in warm and steady communication throughout the wait for pickup, sent updates and photos, and made pickup day itself easy and welcoming. Copper came home healthy, well-adjusted, and clearly loved from his very first breath. Copper is now three weeks into his new life with me in Detroit and he is everything Keri said he would be: sweet, engaged, confident, snuggly, and so much like his father. He's meeting the world with curiosity and settling into my home like he was always meant to be here. I'm grateful to Keri for the care she puts into her breeding program and for trusting me with Copper. He is the best dog and the perfect next chapter, and I couldn't have found him without her. Highly, highly recommend.

    Keri was wonderful and so responsive to all my questions about our sweet boy. She sent pictures and videos while we waited to pick up Jet. Pickup was super easy and I felt really prepared to bring home our pup because of her. We will definitely get another puppy from Urekar Haus if we’re able to one day! Jet is the most handsome and smart boy and we love him so much!

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
