Our working line puppies generally range from $2000 - $3000 and show lines generally range from $2800 - $3800.  These are general price ranges and pricing can vary depending on pedigrees and individual puppies.  Deposits are required in order to be placed on the waiting list and are non-refundable, although deposits can be transferred to another upcoming litter, if requested or if there are not enough puppies in a litter to accommodate everyone on our list.  Deposits can be transferred no more than twice and will only be held for two years before it is forfeited.  Puppies generally will be sold as "pet quality" unless evaluated as "working quality" by a professional trainer.  Most puppies would do well in ACTIVE companion homes and in homes wanting to start in club level Schutzhund (IPO) Dog sports.  All puppies come with pre-paid AKC registration, litter pedigree, micro-chipped, Up-to-Date on vaccinations, de-wormed, started on heart-worm medication, vet health record, puppy gift basket (bowl, leash, collar, food, toy, blanket, etc), and hip/health guarantee per written contract.  All puppies sold will be either DM "Clear" or "Carrier" - Puppies will NOT be "AT RISK" for DM per parentage.   


All puppies are sold with LIMITED AKC registration which can be converted to FULL registration once the puppy passes the required health certifications as specified in the written contract.  This is done in order to protect the German Shepherd breed from being plagued with genetic health problems due to poor breeding practices. 

Deposits are $500.00 and are non-refundable.  We accept Zelle, Venmo and Personal Checks for Deposits.  We can also provide a link to pay via Good Dog.  Please speak with us prior to using the Good Dog payment options so we can help you avoid their added fees.  PAYMENT VIA GOOD DOG SHOULD ONLY BE MADE VIA THE LINK WE SEND.  If you wish to pay using Paypal, this can be done per arrangement and will require the service fees (usually 3%) be paid by the customer.  We do accept full payments via cash, personal check (MUST BE RECEIVED AT LEAST 10 DAYS BEFORE PICK-UP), Venmo and Zelle without any additional fees.  Prior to leaving a deposit, please review our Puppy Contract and complete the Puppy Application to ensure that we can fulfill your requests.

Understanding Hip and Elbow ratings
Since the AKC requires no genetic health testing for hips/elbows, we use the SV model (passing hips required  in Germany since 1966).  Passing hips range from A-Normal to Noch-Zugelassen.  For Elbows, passing ranges from Normal (0/0) to ED Noch-Zugelassen (1/1).  Below are the charts to help explain the ratings.

N2 LITTER
SG Jenser vom Nikberger Land, BH, IPG1 
&
Yara vom Haus Middleton
ONE FEMALE PUPPY LEFT AVAILABLE
PUPPIES WHELPED 06/21/2025





We currently have one female puppy available - (Lemon Collar Girl) from our Yara/Jack N2 litter. This girl is very affectionate, playful and curious. She loves collecting her toys on her raised dog bed and splashing in her kiddie pool on hot days. She does great getting her nails clipped and being otherwise groomed. She's been exposed to our cats and, although very interested and curious about them, is well-mannered. She wants to play but will back away when they let her know they've had enough. That being said, our cats are very accustomed to being around puppies, so they typically don't run. She's been exposed to young children as well and has been good with them. She has not been exposed to little dogs, but based on her temperament, I think she would be fine. She’s great with all other dogs here. 

She shows no signs of separation anxiety and will entertain herself with her collection of toys and chews.  She has moderate food/prey drive, and I suspect she would do great in most active family households.  She's confident and likes to explore but won't wander too far from her people.  Her nose is always on the ground, so I suspect good potential for scent work and she should have enough drive for some entry-level dog sports.  I suspect high intelligence and excellent trainability. 

The dam is Yara vom Haus Middleton, from our "Y" litter with our Czech Imports, VD Donar Skocicka samota, ZVV1 and Zea Kateko, ZVV1. Yara has moderate to high energy and moderate drives. She’s incredibly smart, as well as super affectionate and loving. She gets along with all other dogs, males and females alike, and is very gentle and playful with our puppies. She enjoys chasing her kong and splashing in the water on our 20-acre ranch. As for health, Yara has certified OFA "excellent" hips and "normal" elbows. She is DM "clear" and has been Embark DNA tested for 256 illnesses known to have a genetic component. She is a Scott’s Syndrome carrier but since the sire is NOT a carrier, Nalla will not be at risk.

The sire is Polish import SG Jenser vom Nikberger Land, BH, IPG1 (call name “Jack”), owned and loved by S&S German Shepherds. Jack has low-moderate drive and energy and lives on a farm with various animals, including cats, other dogs, horses, cows, goats, various birds, wallabies, donkeys, etc. He’s a very environmentally stable, sound-tempered boy who enjoys squeaky toys and hanging out with his family. He does have both his working and show titles and has a-normal hips and elbows. He is also DM Clear and Embark Clear.

PRICING IS $2500

A $200 discount is offered to military veterans, first responders (Police, Fire, EMS) and repeat customers. If interested, please contact us for additional information. Payment methods accepted are cash, Zelle and Venmo.  If you wish to use Klarna (four interest-free payment installments) or a credit card (3.3% fee), please inquire in advance and a link and directions will be provided.

**Puppies will be weaned on Inukshuk Marine 16 All Life Stages food which would need to be ordered through Chewy.com as it is not sold in pet stores. We suggest ordering in advance.**

WE ARE RESPONSIBLE DOG BREEDERS WHO PLACE PUPPIES BASED ON TEMPERAMENT.  FOR THIS REASON, WE DO NOT ALLOW FOR "PUPPY PICKS" UNTIL PUPPIES ARE SEVEN WEEKS OLD AND HAVE BEEN PROPERLY ASSESSED BY US.  OFTEN TIMES, WE WILL NOT KNOW WHICH SPECIFIC PUPPY IS AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER THEY ARE 7-8 WEEKS OLD.


Nalla (Lemon Collar Girl) - Stock Coated Female (Solid Black)




02 LITTER
WORKING LINE LITTER
MATING OCCURED 09/07/25 - WE HAVE ONE MORE FEMALE SPOT AVAILABLE ON OUR WAITLIST
VD DONAR SKOCICKA SAMOTA & PRINCESS SOPHIA VOM HAUS MIDDLETON
EXPECTED WHELP MID-NOVEMBER AND AVAILABLE TO GO HOME BEGINNING JANUARY 2026




This is a planned repeat mating between our Czech import, VD Donar Skocicka samota, ZVV1 and our Princess Sophia vom Haus Middleton (call name Sophie). Donar was imported from the Czech Republic, where he received his "Very Good" show rating and "ZVV1" working title (obedience, protection, tracking). Additionally, Donar was evaluated as "recommended for breeding" by a Judge while in the Czech Republic. Donar has certified a-normal hips/elbows, is DM Clear, Spondy-0 and is not at risk for developing 256 genetically identified illnesses via Embark testing.

Sophie is the daughter of our Czech Import Zea Kateko, ZVV1 and is a descendent of our Czech Import Uma z Holykova, IPO2 and my West German import, Tex vom Erlenbusch, Sch1, Police Dog. Sophie is a heavy-boned, powerful girl with beautiful structure. She has a very nice "off" switch, no handler aggression and gets along well with both male and female dogs. Sophie has OFA certified "Good" hips and "normal" elbows. Additionally, Sophie is DM Clear and is not at risk for developing 256 genetically identified illnesses via Embark testing.

These puppies should have excellent natural protective instincts and drives. The last litter whelped in May of 2024 and resulted in four females and four males. Those puppies went to family homes with children, other dogs and cats. We suspect these puppies would do well in protection, competitive dog sports, SAR, therapy, service work, active companion homes with previous GSD experience (or other herding/working breeds) or with people willing to work with a trainer to better understand the needs of this particular breed. They will be extremely intelligent and focused with excellent trainability. All of our dogs are exposed to a variety of adults, children, other dogs, cats, chickens, etc. for maximum socialization. All puppies will be stock coat (short) as Sophie does not carry the gene to produce long coats. Colors expected are sable, bi-color and black/tan.

The pricing for this litter is $2500 for both males and females.

Deposits are $500 and placing on waiting list is based on when deposits are received. Final payment is due at pick-up and can be made via Zelle, Venmo or cash. We also offer a payment plan through Klarna for qualified applicants that allows for up to $2000 in four interest-free installments (please inquire in advance).

A $200 discount is offered to military veterans, first responders (Police, Fire, EMS) and repeat customers. If interested, please contact us for additional information. Waiting list is open and deposits are being accepted for this litter.

Shipping via Alaska Airlines is approximately $700 if puppy is no older than twelve weeks old. Shipping costs include appropriate size crate, USDA health certificate required to fly and airline fees/taxes. Flight nannies and ground transportation can also be arranged depending on routes/puppy size.

Puppies will be available to go home when they are 8 weeks old. Puppies come with pre-paid AKC registration (Limited), microchip, dewormed, vet exam, age-appropriate vaccinations and a written health/hip guarantee. Puppies will be weaned on Inukshuk Marine 16 formula and will be sent home with a five-day supply.
