I'm the breeder behind MK German Shepherds LLC located in Rutland, MA. We’re devoted to ensuring there are healthy puppies for others to enjoy and we do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed. While our goal is to share loving puppies with families, we are still a selective program. We only breed when we’re sure we can produce the healthiest and best example of the breed possible.
What makes Mandy’s program special
I’m a In-Home German Shepherd Breeder. Our puppies/dogs are a part of our family and live in home with us and are raised on a curriculum by BAB. We do ENS and ESI with our puppies starting at 3 days old-16 days old, and do 10 step handling daily starting at 3 days old plus much more. It’s all about raising exceptional puppies for health, temperament and ability.
