Q. & A. with Andrzej

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Breeding our dogs has always been a plan for us when the time was right. Our dogs are approachable, friendly, and loyal. At this point in our lives, we are able to dedicate ourselves and time into breeding. We can carefully monitor and check on the health and growth of the puppies.

  • What makes your program special?

    All of our dogs come from top line German Shepard kennels in Poland. They are great with children and other animals, and all parents are temperament and health tested to ensure healthy and successful puppies.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • 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 a kennel on my property.

    Andrzej and Anna from Wataha Shepherds were incredibly engaging and knowledgeable throughout our entire experience. From the very beginning, their clear, timely communication and their beautiful dogs made our decision easy. Once we committed, they kept us updated on every step of our puppy’s growth, including weekly pictures and detailed answers to all our questions. When we visited to select our puppy, they were gracious and welcoming; their dogs are even more stunning in person than in the photos! They were also very flexible with our pickup schedule. When the big day arrived, they handled all the paperwork and vet records with total professionalism, making the transition as seamless as possible. Even now, they continue to check in and offer their expertise whenever we need it. You truly cannot go wrong choosing Wataha Shepherds for your next family member. Thank you, Andrzej and Anna!

    The Wataha Shepherds family is excellent, with very good communication. They take great care of their puppies and are very kind. I’m glad I did business with them - my puppy is very healthy and beautiful. I will recommend them if anyone asks me about the origin of my puppy.
