Carla Eikelberg

Carla Eikelberg breeds German shepherd dogs and Keeshonds in La Porte, IN, serving Northwest Indiana near Chicago. With over a decade of experience, she has maintained membership in the German Shepherd Dog Club of America and ensures health testing for hips, elbows, and eyes.

All puppies are raised in the home with daily socialization and gentle handling to support confident temperaments. Adults live on 15 acres with access to indoor and outdoor spaces designed to encourage healthy exercise and mental stimulation. Carla integrates basic obedience training early and introduces puppies to varied environments, laying the groundwork for well-adjusted companions.

Several of her German shepherd dog pups have gone on to earn titles in conformation and working trials, reflecting a calm focus and robust structure. Feedback from local families often highlights the breeder’s attentiveness and the puppies’ smooth transition into home life. Keeshonds receive the same nurturing upbringing, developing their signature alert yet friendly demeanor through careful exposure and positive interactions.
