Meet the breeder

I'm Rhonda M., the breeder behind VMH Shepherds located in Allentown, PA. I health test our breeding stock, and all are treated like my children. I truly love my dogs. My program was built with care and intention in every step. I am passionate about the health and wellbeing of this breed, and I want my program to be an example of how to responsibly breed high-quality, healthy dogs.

Q. & A. with Rhonda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My mom used to breed. I love all my dogs like my children and love making families happy by helping add their new addition.
  • What makes your program special?

    My pups and dogs are all home-raised, socialized, and house trained. All of my dogs and pups are on nuvet vitamins as I give them the best I can.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include stock and long 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 seal, black, isabella, gray, black and tan, black and red, bi-color, blue, and liver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Entire process of purchasing this puppy from VMH Shepherds was without issue and a very easy process. The puppy (Kai) itself is such a kind loving and smart puppy, my wife and I couldn’t be more happy with her. Thank you VMH Shepherds

    Hi Rhonda, Thank you so much for everything! It was a wonderful experience working with you. You were always kind, helpful, and answered all of my questions throughout the process. Rex is a beautiful, healthy, and happy puppy, and my family already loves him so much. We are very grateful for all the care and love you gave him before he came home with us. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a German Shepherd puppy. Thank you again for helping us find our new best friend! 🐶❤️

    I loved working with VMH Shepherds! Rhonda was amazing, very responsive and explained things very well. You can tell she loves what she does and cares that the puppies are sent to a good/loving home. Alison who took care of the puppies was so loving and attentive to them as well as great communication with us. We chose Paco which is a liver and tan shepard and he is so amazing and we love him so unbelievably much already! I can't say enough about VMH. I highly suggest working with them!

    We found Tatanka on the Good Dog. We had many questions which Rhonda quickly responded to. We met Tatanka's parents and were impressed. Tatanka is a delightful puppy. He is smart, energetic and cute. Here are some pics.
