Meet the breeder

I'm Nick T., the breeder behind Von Tiffany Haus located in Newtown, CT. Von Tiffany Haus breeds German Shepherds with sound minds, solid structure, and reliable temperament. Raised with care and intention, our dogs are suited for both devoted companionship and working ability.

Q. & A. with Nick

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My journey into German Shepherd breeding started with a tough experience. I purchased a German Shepherd who faced serious health and temperament issues, and what should have been a joyful bond turned into a struggle. As I researched pedigrees, structure, and temperament, I realized how vital responsible breeding is to preserve the integrity of this incredible breed. That experience inspired me to become the breeder I wish I had found. My goal is to produce German Shepherds with sound health, correct structure, and steady temperaments—dogs that are not only capable and intelligent but also loving family companions. Every pairing I choose is made with the intent to improve the breed and honor its true purpose. Above all, I want families to experience the joy of owning a well-bred German Shepherd, without the hardships I once faced.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program is built on purpose, not trends. We focus on health, structure, and temperament to produce German Shepherds that are true to the breed standard—intelligent, loyal, and versatile, yet also loving family companions. All of our dogs are carefully selected for sound anatomy and stable temperaments, and our puppies are raised in a family environment where they are socialized with children and everyday life. This foundation helps them grow into confident, well-rounded dogs. Families who choose our kennel not only get a high-quality puppy, but also become part of a community built on trust and dedication.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include stock, plush, 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 sable, black, black and tan, and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
