Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Pocono GSD located in Tafton, PA. We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families.

Q. & A. with Christine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Jesse was raised breeding German Shepherd Dogs with his father. In 2015, we got back into breeding German Shepherds as a family. We started with traditional coat colors, Black and Tan and Sable, but Christine quickly fell in love with non traditional coats colors (white, blue, liver, panda etc).

  • What makes your program special?

    We focus on the important details to give pups the very best start. All parents and pups live in house with our loving family, to include 9 kids. Our adults go through various DNA health testing, Hip and Elbow testing and live regular dog lives, not limited to a kennel. They see the Vet annually. All pups are given routine dewormers, see the Vet at 6 weeks and go home with initial vaccinations.

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

    Our puppies include long and stock 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, panda, bi-color, black and tan, blue, liver, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Christine was great through both of my experiences working with her! She is very responsive and knowledgeable. My favorite thing about working with her was how easy she is to talk to and all the puppy updates/pictures☺️ You can tell that she really enjoys doing this and takes great care of all of her pups!

    Christine answered some initial questions we had about our puppy’s behavior. She was quick to respond with some ideas and stories about her experiences which were helpful to what we were experiencing. So far so good with our new puppy. She’s learning some rudimentary skills and appears to be very intelligent, aware and interested in everything in her new environment. She’s also incredibly stubborn; with time, patience and training she’ll be a great addition to our family.

    Hello I am from South Jersey and would just like to say we were 3.5 hrs away from Christine and our new addition. When we found the puppy we wanted and reached out to Christine she was very quick to help answer any and all questions regarding our choice in puppies to help us pick a perfect fit for our family. When the time came and we could go and pick up our new family member Christine was understanding regarding the time of arrival and worked with us(snow storm the prior day).when we got to Christine everything was in order and ready to go. She went over all paperwork and Vet info along with feeding and training and always ended with and ofcourse any questions please reach out!

Tala is loving being here and making herself at home in 3 short day! ..thank you again!
