I'm NANCY T., the breeder behind Zeder Kamme German Shepherds located in Greenleaf, ID. I am a long time breeder of quality German Shepherds. I breed dogs that are easy to live with, balanced, fun to train, willing to please, intelligent, and have correct structure... they are good representatives of the breed. This is a dog anyone should be happy to own! I look forward to connecting!
Q. & A. with NANCY
Why did you start breeding?
I acquired my first dog, Newton, in 1988. Newton showed me that a well-bred dog can be a good pet, a good working dog, stunning to look at, and healthy! I have trained and titled 18 dogs with SV and AKC titles and earned the Schutzhund 3 Club recognition from USCA three times. My experience has helped to become a good judge of temperament and character, and more fully understand the breed.
What makes your program special?
I am breeding and training a total, balanced German Shepherd Dog; one that can demonstrate correct temperament through working tests/sport, has correct structure, and is striking to behold. I closely adhere to the German standard. My goal is to breed dogs that are ambassadors for the breed and will fit well in a variety of families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
