About our Kennel
I started this kennel in 2004 because I was so impressed with the German Shepherd and then after owning one, I fell in love with the breed. The German Shepherd is the Royalty of the the dog world, they are so highly trainable and so very loyal and protective of their homes and family's
We are continually trying to improve the breed and carry on the pride of the German Shepherd.
We offer a lifetime of support for those of you who purchase a puppy from us, we are always available for questions or any help you may need through the years, this is a commitment of the dogs lifetime and we want the pup and you to have a lot of happy years together, we have lots of people who after owning a pup want another and I always put them at the top of the list if they want another pup, because once they purchase a pup from our kennel then they are part of our new dog family.
We are constantly learning also and I try to forward any new news onto my email list that might help with your pup or your grown dog.
It is very important to us that you are happy with your new pup and that you get a healthy happy pup that everyone in the family can welcome in to thier homes.
If for any reason you cannot keep the pup or grown dog, I would like to have the chance to take him or her back
Please call or email if you have any questions or want to come and visit our kennel or just want to share stories, we love to talk German Shepherd!

thanks Debbie
Debbie has the best puppies ever they are very family oriented with the dogs and the puppies. I got a pup from her about two years ago he is the best dog I have ever had. He is healthy I Have never had any problems with him with the exception of just going through the hole puppy stage lol. Trust me you wont regret getting a dog from her. My dog copper is very well mannered and just a beautiful dog I couldn't have asked for more. We still keep in touch with Debbie she sends me pictures of all the new pups and keeps me updated on coppers sister which she still has. You wont be disappointed if you are looking for a German Shepard she is the lady to talk to. Well if you have any more questions please feel free to call or email me. And I would love to know what your decision is and I would love to see pics of your new pup if you get one.
Thankyou

I was thinking about what I should tell you as I was walking my magnus. We got her from Debbie 2 Decembers ago she was a Christmas present for my husband. I was always known as the crazy cat lady who had a really old Pomeranian. My husband always wanted a German shepherd or a real dog as he would say. I did a lot of research on them and talked to my vet. I won't lie, they scared me. I fostered a few with a local animal group we fostered with and they scared me more. I found Debbie and started asking her questions. I'm sure the crazy cat lady part showed. At the time I had a 24 year old cat and a 14 year old Pomeranian (and a few other cats). I decided ok we would do it and told my husband to go get one. We got Magnus a beautiful 92 lb black and tan with red highlights. My vet said from the time we got her at 6 weeks how great the breeder (Debbie) was. Her temperament, hips, coloring everything was great. We put her in her first obedience class at 5 months. That trainer said she was the best tempered and most beautiful shepherd she has seen. The trainer had been attacked by 1 in the past and was afraid of them but when she looked in her eyes saw love and wasn't afraid of her. Now don't get me wrong, we have put a lot of love time and training into her to get her well socialized. Debbie does the hard first part but it definitely is more work. I can tell you what you put in you get back. They are intuitive loving loyal companions. They guard their pack and what you tell them they should. Magnus has a natural need to guard me, her cats, and any child she sees even though we don't have any! I can say our vet and 2 trainers as well as my husband and myself think Debbie is the best, that's why we are getting another 1 out of this litter. Debbie is great and I tell everyone I can they need a shepherd from her. Thanks for letting me share! Nicole Gollar

I would recommend anyone to buy a puppy from Debbie at Stepping Stone Kennels. We got Luga (Cinnamon/Echo pup-Dec. 12,2009) in January at the age of 6 weeks, and he is amazing! His temperament is wonderful and he is SO smart. Debbie is wonderful to work with and loves her dogs so much! She definitely breeds Shepherds for the pure passion she has for the breed. All of her adult dogs were friendly and sweet as could be. If you would like to see pictures of my boy, feel free to e-mail me. They are definitely not in short supply! :)

purchased a male puppy from Debbie Shay January 12th 2008.My experience was very pleasant,she E-mailed photos of the puppies because we wanted a white male , I mailed her $100 dollars for the holding deposit, she called me personally on the phone that she received the deposit for my puppy and kept me informed on the the puppies progress like eating solids, she had no problems e-mailing me when I had any questions, she always answered them, stepping stones is a trust worthy Kennel and I drove to pickup my puppy so I seen all her dogs.

We have recently had the privilege to welcome Crosley to our family. This has been such a smooth and wonderful process in obtaining our pup. Upon arrival to the Kennel, I was amazed at how clean and nice the area was. You could tell that all of the dogs were extremely well taken care of and loved while they were there. The pups were completely up to date on all vaccinations and worming's. Debbie provided me with all of the necessary paper work, including a sales contract, AKC papers and a copy of the generation of pedigree. I know that Crosley comes from a very healthy breed line that has no previous hip or health problems. I would definitely recommend a German Shepherd from Stepping Stones Kennel. You will receive a beautiful, healthy dog, along with a great experience with a knowledgeable and friendly breeder. This has been a wonderful experience and just a pleasure working with Debbie!

Hi Debbie,
Just wanted to update you on Dusty. She is a love. A big baby, but very intimidating. People come onto the ranch and not quit sure if she is going to lick them or attack (I think she would lick them to death my self). She will give them the German stare which unnerves them. She is turning into an excellent watch dogShe LOVES to play fetch and soccer. My grandson's have a soccer ball (it is now her's). I kicked it one day she ran after it and started hitting it with her paw and chasing it. I have a new little male boston. He is 12 wks old and only weighs 6 lbs. They LOVE one another.
I was also checking in with you about a male. I am still VERY interested in getting one of Reiko's pups. Are you still going to breed him to Nahanee? I would LOVE a black and tan out of them if you get any.
Here is a couple of updated pictures. The one she was trying to hide from me in my corn while I was watering my garden and the other one she is trying to get one of my Boston's to chase her with the stick. My Boston's love to chase each other and take twigs away from one another. Dusty is VERY smart...always watching.
Oh did I mention, We really LOVE her.
Thanks
