Meet the breeder
I'm Kelli B., the breeder behind Vom Anfang German Shepherds located in Mansfield, TX. At Vom Anfang, our goal is to produce working dogs with stable temperament and sound body that will also be a part of your family.
Q. & A. with Kelli
Why did you start breeding?
After owning some German Shepherds from a backyard breeder and dealing with temperamental flaws and health issues, we looked into our first working line German Shepherd. It was through a ton of research, surrounding ourselves with others who loved the breed and diving headfirst into the world of training a working dog that led us to breed.What makes your program special?
Our goal and hope are to produce puppies with exceptional temperaments, suitable for a variety of work. We like to emphasize versatility in our puppies, where they are social and engaging, eager to work without being over the top, capable of settling into a family setting where undoubtedly first and foremost their most important purpose is to be a stable family companion.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, black and tan, and bi-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
