All of our dogs are AKC registered. We carefully select our breeding stock from some of the best breeders available. The average price of a dog from our breeding stock is considerably higher than what we charge for our puppies. It is scientifically proven that puppies will carry the same genetic traits as their parents. All of our dogs are either OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) offa.org registered and/or come from a OFA lineage. We OFA for hip displaysia and/or elbows. The ONLY way to limit the possibilities of having health problems is by buying a puppy from OFA parents or from parents with a solid OFA lineage. ALL of our puppies come with a written health warranty. When purchasing a puppy the old adage is true, "you get what you pay for." You cannot produce a quality puppy from poor quality parents. Too frequently people make their decision based upon
For all of our dogs we follow or exceed recommended veterinary care and medications. Our dogs are fed premium dog food, and are raised in the most hygienic conditions possible. Our dogs are housed in a very large building with their own area inside as well as a large run outside. These areas are cleaned frequently to ensure the highest sanitary conditions. However a few of our dogs are house dogs. All puppies are raised inside the home not just a kennel. Our puppies are raised in a climate controlled area that is cleaned frequently Prenatal and postnatal care is critical to producing the best quality puppy possible. We go to great lengths to ensure this. This area is equipped with a pet door, which enables us to begin the housebreaking process at four weeks of age. All puppies are given a worming treatment four times before going home. We invite anyone out to meet us and our dogs as well as viewing the facilities. Please call us ahead and make an appointment. We do not breed German / European working dogs. These dogs are used in protection/attack, police, military, or narcotic / bomb detection. Our focus is on the conformation lines. These lines (Conformation / show lines) focus on the herding (protective) instinct of the German Shepherd. I have had experience in both types of dogs. I have done Schutzhund training (and have actually lived in Germany for an extensive time period) with German / European dogs. I have also done obedience, conformation, and therapy training with confirmation dogs. It is my experience and belief that the conformation lines are better suited for the family than their German/European counterparts are. Many European breeders differ in this opinion. However very few have any experience with the American lines, and even fewer have visited little alone lived in Germany. I am an active member in good standing of the German Shepherd Dog Club of Atlanta and the German Shepherd Dog Club of America. I am also a signer of the breeder of ethics as well. Under normal conditions deposits are non-refundable once the puppies have been born. However if you have placed a deposit, and we do not have enough puppies of the gender you selected we will gladly refund your deposit. |
