Our Dogs
Our dogs are purebred West German Snowline German Shepherds and East working lines. Our dogs are athletic, mentally sound and suitable for work, play or just being a household pet. Our dogs are SV (German Shepherd Registry in Germany) and CKC registered. Prior to breeding all of our dogs are either: SV hip and elbow rated, evaluated by OFA or Penn Hip, or analyzed by a very experienced orthopaedic specialist. All of our dogs are family members and live with us. Our dogs are not kennel dogs as we believe that this healthiest way to breed dogs and the only way to truly be able to evaluate their temperaments. We will not breed any dog that is unhealthy, nervous, shy or aggressive. All of our puppies are socialized and are handled by us and members of the family.
Deposit
In order to reserve a puppy we require a non-refundable deposit of $500. The remaining balance is due at 8 weeks of age. This can be either paid in instalments or in full. The puppy must be paid in full before leaving the premises. If you are unable to pay in full by 8 weeks, please contact us immediately to see if other arrangements can be made. If we do not hear from you, the puppy will be resold to another buyer. The reason we do this is to ensure that we have enough time to find the puppy a new home as older puppies can be harder to sell.
