Nikki Banfield is a Dog Trainer & Working Line German Shepherd Breeder. If you are looking for a german shepherd puppy, Nikki is the person you want your dog from. Her experience and knowledge of the german shepherd dog breed is beyond any research you could find. You want a breeder who cares about the breed and breeds to make the breed better, that is Nikki. She cares about all of her dogs and their progeny. I contacted her because she recently had a litter due. She spent much time with me asking me what I was looking for (I am looking for a family dog I can train and do schutzhund with as opposed to a police k9 dog, or a family dog, ) and answering all of my questions. I very much got the sense from her that she will stay involved with us to help us adjust to life with a puppy (we have a cat and she offered to assist us in how to teach the puppy boundaries with the cat). This is a characteristic that is very important to me in a breeder because it shows me that she cares about the dog and where he/she is going and that she cares about us too and that we have a good experience. I don't live in PA anymore and she offered to look into the clubs out here and make recommendations on where we can train. This is so important to me and I am very grateful. read more
