Meet the breeder

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.

Mandy’s experience

  • 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.

Parent health testing

German Shepherd

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

MK German Shepherds LLC reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Temperament Test

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
