1️⃣ Ensuring the Right Fit: Our puppies are like family to us, and we want to make sure they go to loving homes that suit their temperament, energy level, and needs. The application helps us match each puppy to the perfect family.

2️⃣ Commitment Check: Raising a German Shepherd is a long-term commitment. The application process ensures that potential owners understand the time, effort, and love these incredible dogs require.

3️⃣ Promoting Responsible Ownership: We use the application to educate future owners about the breed, including training, exercise, and health needs, to set everyone up for success.

4️⃣ Protecting Our Puppies: The form helps us identify serious, responsible buyers and avoid situations where a puppy might end up in the wrong hands.

5️⃣ Lifelong Support: By building a relationship through the application process, we can offer guidance and stay connected with families throughout the puppy’s life.

Faith at the Heart of Our Program ✞🐾

Faith is a cornerstone of our breeding program, guiding everything we do. Every room in our kennel has a radio, all tuned to the same Christian station, filling the space with uplifting Gospel music throughout the day.

Gospel music brings a sense of peace and calm, not just for us, but for our dogs too. The soothing melodies and positive messages create a tranquil environment, which is especially beneficial for our moms and puppies. It’s our way of inviting God’s presence into the daily lives of our dogs and our work.

We believe that faith and love are at the foundation of raising well-rounded, happy, and healthy dogs. Everything we do is a reflection of the blessings we’ve received and our gratitude for the opportunity to care for these amazing animals. 🤍✞

🌟 We’ve been keeping a little secret… 🌟

Our stunning German import, Yuni, gave birth a week ago to 9 healthy, beautiful babies! 🐾 This was a first for us because she kept us on our toes by going all the way to day 70! Typically dogs are pregnant for 63 days but normally our females go into labor before their due date. She handled it like a champ, with no issues at all with labor and delivery! We are so thankful and feel incredibly blessed.

Yuni has been an absolute dream as a mother. Watching her care for her puppies with such love and instinct is truly heartwarming. 💕

Being a breeder isn’t always easy—there are challenges and heartbreaks along the way. But it’s moments like this, when everything comes together so perfectly, that remind us why we do what we do.

Stay tuned for updates on these little ones as they grow and thrive! ✨

When it comes to spaying or neutering, timing is key—especially for German Shepherds. Here’s why we recommend waiting until they are older (18-24 months):

🧠 Full Physical Development: German Shepherds are large, active dogs that take time to fully develop. Spaying or neutering too early can impact their growth and muscle development, which is crucial for maintaining their athletic build and strong frame.

💪 Health Benefits: Waiting until a dog is fully matured can reduce the risk of joint problems, like hip dysplasia, which is common in large breeds like German Shepherds. It also supports the development of a strong, healthy immune system.

🧬 Behavioral Maturity: By waiting, we allow our German Shepherds to reach full behavioral maturity. This helps them develop better confidence, stability, and focus, leading to more positive outcomes in training and socialization.

❤️ Avoiding Health Complications: Early spaying/neutering can increase the risk of certain health problems, such as urinary incontinence or some cancers. Delaying the procedure can help lower these risks.

It’s important to make informed decisions about spaying or neutering, and we work closely with our veterinarian to ensure the health and well-being of all our dogs.

By waiting until they’re older, you can help your German Shepherd grow into their best selves—strong, healthy, and ready for a lifetime of happiness with you!
