Q. & A. with Sue-Ann
Why did you start breeding?
We did German Shepherd rescue 10 years prior to getting our first breeding dog. Our vet recommended we consider breeding her.
Fast forward 35 years.
We have experience raising dogs using proven puppy rearing methods so you are assured a robust, well-adjusted pup ready to thrive in your home. For us, breeding worthy German Shepherds is not a hobby, but a lifelong passion.
What makes your program special?
Puppies from previous litters are enjoying excellent health, and are performing a variety of roles: agility, estate and family protection, obedience, police K9s, scent work, search and rescue, therapy/service, tracking, as well as sound family companions.
We have experience and lifelong dedication to our dogs and their people.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
