Q. & A. with Jackie
Why did you start breeding?
The 1st dog I remember was my grandmas German Shepherd, Rosie. That’s where my love of the GSD started.
My goals include breeding dogs with great health, temperament, confidence & so much more. We love all of our dogs and puppies. Fortunately, I form great friendships w most of our puppy families! We just love getting all the wonderful updates on our grandpuppies!
What makes your program special?
I’m a hobby breeder. We have a farm and store open to the public. My dogs & pups are always around tons of people & animals. We love all of our animals & so do our guests.
Our breeding dogs have been titled around the world & come from five plus generations of proven good health & solid temperaments.
We work on manners & potty training until the pups go home to their new families. this makes for an easier transition!
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include long, plush, and stock 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 and tan and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

They live in my home and guardian homes.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
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.
Temperament Test
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
