We are pleased to announce the arrival of three beautiful males and two gorgeous females on 03/10/14. Two sable males, one black/tan male and two black/tan females. All puppies have big heads, strong bone structure and are healthy and active. We will be updating photos on our website as they develop. This is a repeat breeding as we were so happy with the last litter.
Puppy pricing is $1,500 and includes AKC "Limited" registration (pending OFA hip certifications), dew claw removal, microchip, first two vaccinations, deworming, hip guarantee and puppies will be started on Heartguard.
Deposits are $250 and non-refundable unless we can not fulfill your request. Puppies will be evaluated and I will make recommendations on which puppy would best suit your goals. The highest drive puppies should not go to "pet" homes and the lowest drive puppies should not go to "working" homes.
Please see the "Puppy Contract" section for further details.
We do give discounts for active Military and Law Enforcement.
Our working line puppies generally range from $1800 - $2800 and show lines generally range from $2500 - $3500. 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.

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.
