We specialize in breeding quality AKC Plush & Long Coat German Shepherds from German lines. We focus on health, temperament, Strength of Character, longevity, structure and conformation. My dogs are typically larger than breed standard with medium drive so they fit well into a family environment as well as have the desire to please their handler in any event asked. I'm a very small breeder, all my dogs are part of our family FIRST before breeders. Pups are whelped in our house, handled from hour one, highly socialized, interact with children, are health checked and Volhard Apptitude Tested. You can see more detail on how are pups are raised under "YOUR PUPPY".
I am located on 11 acres of land where are pups are all raised with "US". This means they are NOT KENNEL dogs! You will NEVER see them chained or caged and they are all part of our family.
My goal is to produce high quality, happy, healthy dogs... breeding the best to the best.
My Females are usually bred once per year. This is adventageous for their health, thus larger, healthier puppies arrive.
My vision for the GSD is one that is versitile, athletic, and eager to please. One that is highly trainable, structurally correct, with a medium drive and outstanding temperament. A dog thrilled to work for me; yet will easily fit into my family environment. This is what I aim to breed into my litters...THE TOTAL GSD.
WHY THE PRICE &
DIFFERENCE WITH LONG COATS
My dogs are ALL health tested and HIP certified with either OFA or PennHip.
Depending upon the Sire, what his breeding/pedigree is, whether he is proven, the quality he produces and if I own him or if I pay a stud fee and transport, etc. with an outside male, will effect price.
My pups are raised UNDERFOOT in our HOME not a KENNEL! This is VERY time consuming and if you have ever had a "kennel" dog, you will see a HUGE difference! This approach ensures an even demeanour, calm nature and solid temperament in any every day situation. It's my belief that a dog with a stable mind, steady nerve, and loyal heart is one which is ideal.
I feed high quality food, Whole Earth Farms by Merrick, and some RAW.
Many times LONG COATS are priced higher than my PLUSH coats. This is typical of the quality bred Long Coats. While out of breed standard, now, as of SPRING 2010 GERMANY HAS ACCEPTED LONG COATS INTO THE SV!!!!
There are many more smooth coated/standard bred dogs than Long Coats. There are many MORE Long Coated GSD's that are being bred solely for their coat. Meaning, that you might find one cheaper, BUT you will likely find, quality lacking as the dog was bred for coat and not for "The Total GSD", as I breed. This makes my long coats a little more based on selection to achieve the quality.
I do have PLUSH coats that will range higher in price depending upon Conformation, Structure, Temperament, and overall puppy, in comparison to the rest of the litter.
My pups are wormed bi-weekly, at minimum, from 2 weeks of age on.
Receive their first Parvo Only Vaccination at 5 weeks.
Second vaccination 5-way at 8 weeks
Puppies are vet checked before they leave
I do NOT raise a typical high drive working line german shepherd that people in the "working" groups are after. It is not my personal preferance. From time to time I will have a higher drive puppy in a litter and I am careful in where I place that puppy, to a working home.
I raise a GSD that fits into your family...AND can work if you choose.

AND BEST FRIENDS!!!
I encourage people to do their research on the GSD prior to purchasing one. This is not a "poodle". They need activity, attention, respect, and guidance. A happy GSD is one with a job and structure. Most times a GSD found in a shelter or rescue group, is not there because of the dog, but because of owner error. Further, I encourage new owners take basic obediance classes with their new puppy. This will assist you in learning the proper way to train your pup, and puts your puppy in a social situation with other dogs and humans, allowing exposure to a different environment. This will assist your German Shepherd in growing into a good citizen.
