Q. & A. with Alena
Why did you start breeding?
My passion for the most loyal intelligent breed started at 4yo, with my first German Shepherd - Moby.
What makes your program special?
Not only our males, but also our females are continually shown all over Germany and Europe and have the highest IGP3, the highest legal certified working title which is very rare to find elsewhere. This ensures the highest level of intelligence and trainability. Most of our dogs are also certified medical service dogs. Dogs live in house, on home cooked organic diet. Socialized with tiny Yorkies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
