CON ARTIST!!!! Be warned! I bought a Dutch Shepard for the full price of 3500$ and flew from PA to her. Got to her place. No puppies or mom or dad dog in sight. Took our puppy home. Said she was gonna get our papers to us. Never got. It's been almost 5 years now. I have since given up. Never called back or tried to contact us. Do not buy from this lady. Our puppy was super food aggressive and had to give her to my sister who has no kids because the puppy was not good with kids at all and kept biting. Not puppy biting. Like fighting for its life biting. No papers. Not good with families or kids like she said. Stay away from this place. read more

She comes off as very nice and experienced breeder. When you get to her place it also seems nice and unassuming. I bought a puppy from her as my first dog that I would own. I took a trip to her house to pick our a puppy from her most recent litter. When I got there I had a weird feeling about everything. The puppies were not out when I got there. There were pulled from the back of a van and the parents were no where in sight. In short, I picked one that I liked and immediately fell in love. Two days later I had to admit my new puppy to the hospital. It was confirmed that my puppy had Parvo and Keeley sold me a dying dog. My puppy died 2 days later and I never got reimbursed and she has since ignored all contact from me. She is an evil person and should not be allowed to do this. read more

From my perspective of owning a Aachen dog- If someone gets one of these dogs and thinks that they're not gonna put in the work to make them an excellent dog, they are mistaken. The dog don't come ready-made you gotta put the work into the dog constantly year after year to make the perfect dog. I put in the work and I got a perfect dog. I love my Aachen dog read more

Don't buy from this lady. She is a scam artist we paid full price for a purebred and got our dog's results back and here they are. SCAM ARTIST!!! read more

I purchased a 9 month old pup from here in Oct. 2020 after researching the Dutchie breed. Being a former police K-9 officer, I was ready for the challenge. Fast forward to Mar. 2023, I decided for fun to get a DNA test done on her (from a reputable company with great reviews). Turns out the DNA results determined she was 100 percent Belgian Malinois. When I bought her, the breeder (after some time & repeated requests) provided me with a pedigree indicating her family tree was exclusively Dutch Shepherds. Looks like I got duped. No check mplaints on the dog, she's great, but not exactly what I drove over 1600 miles & paid in full for. I would recommend any potential buyers to get a DNA test earlier than I did. read more

We purchased a 9 month old puppy from this breeder in October of 2020. Paid for her in full, before driving over 1600 miles to pick her up in person. We were informed by the owner, Keel McKee, that the pedigree papers and microchip info would accompany the purchase, however, neither was made available when we picked up the dog. We were then told that the documents and information would be mailed to us right away. This still hasn't happened and it is mid January 2021. Basically, all we got upon delivery of the puppy was a medical screening, showing she had received a rabies vaccination, and some advertisements for pet insurance. We have attempted to correspond on several occasions via e-mail and phone to get the documents so that we could register our dog with the kennel club and update her microchip info, so that if she were lost, we would be listed as her owners. Responses - if any - seem to take weeks. The dog is great, no complaints about her. The customer service from this breeder, however has been poor, and disappointing. We received an e-mail from this breeder on Dec. 28th, indicating the pedigree papers were in her possession and she would get them out to us, but, two weeks later, that still hasn't happened for some reason. We will now have to go to a local animal shelter (25 miles away), and ask if they would scan our dog, just to find out what company is responsible for the micro chip - then contact them to find out how to register to us. This is a huge inconvenience, and should have been done by the breeder. We are unsatisfied with the inaction of the breeder and would caution potential buyers to consider our experience before selecting this breeder site to buy a puppy. read more

I have attached pictures. The certification is for the parents or so she claimed. I have been asking for my dog's papers for 3 months and she keeps putting it off. Today, she sent me an email saying she just mailed off the parents' paperwork. So you're telling me that you are breeding dogs that are not papered? The proof is in your own words. This lady is a con artist. Now I see reviews where people are saying their dogs aren't even a hundred percent dutshepherd. I do not feel my dog is one hundred percent either and I am going to be getting a dna test as well read more

I bought a Dutch shepherd from this breeder 3 months ago and she will not send me the paperwork promise to register my dog. Her duclaws were not removed and shots not completed. I have been emailing her repeatedly and she keeps putting me off and for the last 2 and a 1/2 weeks she has completely ignored me. If you. Are looking for a paper dog do not purchase from this breeder. I am being forced to take legal action. read more

We just recently bought an adult female from Keely at Aachen, she is by far one of the best dogs I have ever owned. Working with Keely to find the perfect dog was easy and she was very knowledgeable. This has been by far the best decision I could have made!! I would recommend her dogs to any one looking for a Dutch Shepard. read more

Udpate on Kali at 8 months. Kali continues to grow and mature into one of the best dogs I have ever owned. She is super intelligent, very confident, loves to play and work, very alert when people come near the home and very sweet with my 10-year-old son. Her temperament is also very stable. We could not have been blessed with a better dog. read more

I purchased a male Dutch Shepherd puppy from this breeder and had it shipped to New York for breeding. At the age of one year old, I had preliminary OFA x-rays done on his hips and elbows. The x-rays revealed he had hip dysplasia. I do not recommend buying any of her puppies as I suspect she alters her preliminary x-rays done by OFA. In my puppies Pedegree, out of four generations, only one dog had registered OFA x-rays on his elbows only. This breeder told me she does not want her OFA results published, hence she controls that by only having preliminary x-rays done. This is not a reputable breeder and does not stand by her product and stage she is not giving a refund at all. I got robbed for $4500. She wanted the puppy back, why? She stated to minimalize her loss. How? He's not breed worthy, and what is she going to do? Sell him without full disclosure of his genetic anomaly? Or is she going to breed him and produce more dysplastic puppies? Buyer beware! I should've read the reviews on her prior to dealing with her. She is a liar, and a thief. The x-rays speak for themselves from two different veterinarians. read more

I was expecting a pup from them in June 2017. I got a call the weekend he was supposed to be flown to Chicago saying that the pup they had selected that had the traits I was looking for had died. Apparently his back broke while the pups were playing. Seemed like something that could not be avoided. They told me that they had another pup that they would give me. They flew him in about a week later. He was 12 weeks when I got him. It took over a year to find the right prescription food to cure his diarrhea, which cost me a ton in vet bills to get squared away. He also came with a hernia that we had to surgically repair. The biggest issue I have is that his nerves are so bad. He shakes constantly and despite efforts to socialize him, he is petrified of any dog he encounters. He will literally tuck tail and try to sprint away...even on a leashed prong collar...when he sees a dog. It really doesn't matter the size, big or small. Was not expecting these issues for the money I spent on the dog. I spent far less on my Australian Shepherd that I had for 16 years and didn't have any of these types of things happen. We have grown attached to him and he is great with my two young sons, but the experience and some of the things that go along with him have been very difficult to overcome. If I had to do it again with this breeder, I would not. read more

I just went and picked up a 12 week old Dutch shepard. Seamless process. Very friendly breeder and staff. The service was also great. It was cold and windy when we arrived at home of breeder. With that being said they brought out every dog my wife wanted to see. Every color, age, price range. When you get your puppy home you will instantly observe the intelligence and energy of the dog as it should be with a dutch. So much selection to choose from. Affordable but expect to pay for a well bred dog. Aachen is a breeder you have to ask about before considering to buy. Thankyou T. Charles read more

I researched Dutch Shepherd and Belgian Malinois breeders for almost a year before deciding where to buy my next working K9 companion. I have owned both breeds for 10 years and have certified a few K9's in scent detection.  I have been in the animal business all of my adult life. I have had a career in Veterinary medicine, dog training and behavior modification, shelter and vet clinic management and rescue. My search ended when I found Keely McKee, breeder and owner of Aachen Dutch Shepherds in OK. Immediately she stood out from many others by quickly responding to my email inquiry with a phone call. I was impressed by one of her first questions. "Would you like to come and visit our place and pick your puppy out, or would you like me to pick a pup for you?" In my opinion, when a breeder is quick to invite you to their home, they are proud of their dogs and happy to share them with visitors. Keely took her time to get to know me and through several calls, we learned much about each other and the love we shared for the breed was contagious. She interviewed me and also answered all of my questions. All of them! Of course, I did my own research and was able to reach out to several people that had purchased pups and dogs from her in the past. I was impressed by the consistency of delighted clients that boasted about the quality dogs and the professional treatment they had received. I was SOLD! My puppy was shipped to me via air travel from OK to Florida. He was 9 weeks old, brindle male and everything I had asked for and more! I received a healthy pup with excellent kennel manners. He was very stable minded and passed his arrival physical exam with high remarks. I cannot put into words how impressed I am with my Aachen Dutch Shepherd's trainability, mental stability and sound structure. I have had the assistance of many professional K9 trainers through my pups training. All of them have remarked on the high quality, well bred dog I received. My pup is now 2 yrs old and has passed all of my expectations. We have reached many bench marks in training and have set the bar higher with no hesitation on reaching new goals. He excels in precision obedience, personal protection, sport exercises such as search and retrieving and some agility tasks. He is a natural at scent detection and possesses strong work drive. He has countless hours training in public places and performs many service dog tasks with ease. He has become my Demo dog for my abilities as a trainer/handler in which I have improved greatly while working with him. This dog appears to have no limit, no fear and an unmeasurable amount of drive to do what ever is asked of him. I am amazed and feel truly blessed to have such a great K9 companion at my side every day. This spring (2018) I had the opportunity to visit Keely and her Dutch Shepherds. I spent 3 full days at her home with her and her dogs. WOW! I was impressed at the beauty, health and quality of her dogs. They were very well cared for, happy and social. I was able to meet her veterinarians, one being a fertility specialist that worked with top breeders from many surrounding states. I met her staff trainer who had amazing credentials. I was introduced to my dog's sire and dam who were impressive to say the least. Keely is very organized and never  ceased to amaze me with the information she had on every dog and puppy at her place, She absolutely loves her dogs and is proud of her accomplishments. She is dedicated to producing the highest quality of dogs and it shows in each and every one of them. I know for a fact that my next dog will be another Aachen Dutch Shepherd. I will continue to recommend Keely to anyone looking for a Dutchie for any level of companion or working K9. She produces excellent dogs! Vickie Dryer St Cloud Florida read more

In response to the business owners message, which I cannot publicly respond to for some reason: You don't even know who I am because I didn't have any contact with you, my significant other did. So saying you told me to keep you updated isn't true. The only reason our dutch shepherd is alive today is because we didn't euthanize him like our vets and other trainers were telling us to do. He is only where he is today, in a more stable mind-set, because my significant other is a professional dog trainer, didn't give up, and worked years to get him past his extreme problems. So yes, it is the breeders fault for why he came off the plane and immediately had severe, severe, issues for a long time. They had no exposure to anything for 11 weeks and then shipped on a plane. Him and his litter mate that contacted us were tested for their breed on multiple DNA tests and they are over 70% Mal and the rest GSD not a pure-bred Dutch Shepherd. Those tests had Dutch Shepherd on it as well, so it's not like that wasn't an option. For anyone reading this, I beg you to stay away from this place! Especially if you are a regular pet owner. Contact the Dutch Shepherd rescue on the East Coast and they can tell you a lot more. read more

Not enough good things to say about the dogs Keely produces! Ziva is smart, confident, and has great drive all which were apparent at a young age. The natural talent and confidence to try new things is incredible in these dogs. It has made training a breeze! At 4 months old Ziva got her STAR puppy AKC title, at almost 6 months old and she has her AKC canine good citizen title. She has 3/5 legs for her first dock diving title. Ziva is currently training in IPO protection sports, search and rescue trailing, sheep herding, agility, dock diving, and more! The possibilities are endless with these amazing dogs. She's a stable dog that can go from hanging out watching TV and then be asked to get focused and work at the flip of a switch. Ziva goes to all the dog friendly stores with me and is always complimented on her impeccable obedience and unique breed. Cannot say enough good things about Aachen Dutch Shepherds and the quality working dogs Keely produces. When I told Keely what I wanted in a dog she provided me with exactly that and I couldn't be happier! read more

I got Heimdall at 8 weeks old to be trained as my PTSD service dog. He learned most of his basic commands so fast! I moved to a different state during his basic command training & he behaved perfectly the whole road trip. He has even adjusted to living on a farm with pigs, ducks, chickens & rabbits without any hiccups in his training. He was the most well behaved puppy I have ever seen thru his basic commands. He is now 7 months old & continuing to accel. THANK YOU KEELY & AACHEN DUTCH SHEPHERDS! read more
