Yes, we have a health guarantee, which can be viewed here.

By Florida state law, puppies must be at least eight weeks old before they can be sold. At this age, they will undergo a comprehensive examination by our veterinarian and be issued a Florida Certificate of Veterinary Inspection. The puppies will receive a thorough check-up by a licensed veterinarian to ensure they are free from external and internal parasites. Additionally, they will receive their first vaccinations and be microchipped before they are released to their new home.

When you bring your puppy home, you will receive the following:
– Florida Certificate of Veterinary Inspection
– A blanket that smells like mom
– A familiar toy
– Take-home bag of dry food
– Microchipped with registration information
– Complete deworming according to the puppy’s age
– Immunization record
– Limited AKC registration information and instructions

YES! We provide our puppies with neurological, social, and environmental stimulation. Our puppies live in a household exposed to noise at all sound levels, young children, other trained dogs, various flooring textures, safe indoor and outdoor running spaces, and various environmental factors while maintaining safety precautions. This ensures that our puppies are well-socialized and adaptable to multiple environments and situations.

All our dogs are purebred German Shepherds with SV and AKC registration numbers.

Our dogs receive regular veterinary care and undergo thorough health tests. This includes an AKC DNA Profile with 201 markers for genetic identity and parentage verification and 127 for genetic health and traits. All genetic testing results demonstrate that our dogs are free from any genetic health conditions tested for, including degenerative myopathy. Additionally, our dogs have been cleared of hip and elbow dysplasia by the SV (German Shepherd Breed Club) in Germany and the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Alongside maintaining their good health, our dogs have completed rigorous obedience training courses and protection work and have received a Pink Pedigree from the SV association in Germany. You can access all relevant health documentation and images for our dogs on their individual page.

The Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde (SV), which translates to the German Shepherd Association, was established in Germany in 1899 by Max von Stephanitz and Arthur Meyer. This breed club is responsible for setting the standards for the German Shepherd dog breed. Like The American Kennel Club (AKC), the SV issues pedigrees for each litter and registers them. However, the SV is known for its more rigorous regulations and dedication to  reserving the health and original characteristics of the breed. Regarding registration papers, the SV provides two types: “pink” papers and white registration papers. “Pink” papers are only issued to dogs with at least three generations of koered (breed surveyed), possess show ratings or training titles, and are free from Hip and Elbow Dysplasia, DNA defects, and other health issues. On the other hand, white registration papers are given to litters from German Shepherds registered with the SV, whose ancestors do not meet the stringent requirements necessary for “pink” papers. This system ensures that the SV maintains strict standards to preserve the integrity of the German Shepherd breed

We provide our dogs with high-quality, premium food. Each dog receives a specific type of food based on their individual dietary needs.

Our puppies are raised with love in our advanced indoor kennel, ensuring they have the utmost comfort with amenities such as A/C, heat, and a dehumidifier. Our 24-hour outdoor and indoor surveillance system provides additional security, complemented by their water filtration system and sink. When our puppies are not with their nurturing mother, they are just a few steps away from playing with us in our cozy living room and enjoying the comfort of our home. They are genuinely cherished family members, and this exceptional care ensures that our puppies are healthy, happy, and well-prepared to transition into their new homes quickly.

Our puppies are dewormed at the 2, 4, 6, and 8-week marks and vaccinated by our licensed veterinarian before entering their new homes.

We schedule a selection day around the 6-week mark for each litter of puppies. Once a deposit is made, we will inform you about the placement of your reservation list. On selection day, individuals on the reservation list can choose their preferred puppy based on their placement. The selection process is strictly first-come, first-served, and there is no option for a paid litter pick. This process ensures that each puppy finds a loving home and that selection is fair for all potential owners. If you have any questions about the process, please get in touch with us.

We will send pictures and videos to everyone who makes a deposit weekly after the puppies are born. You can also follow us on our social media pages to see occasional pictures and videos of the puppies and our pack just being themselves.

The puppies’ parents are cherished members of our pack. They are an integral part of our household and live on the premises with us.

We do not offer financing options for the purchase of our puppies. However, we do provide the flexibility of setting up a payment plan. This means that the buyer can work with us to establish a schedule for making payments towards the total purchase price of the puppy. It’s important to note that the puppy’s entire cost must be paid in full by the scheduled pick-up date.

We are currently researching and evaluating different payment options that are not only secure but also affordable for both our customers and our company. While we understand the convenience of credit cards and personal checks, we have chosen not to accept these payment methods due to their additional fees and potential complications. We are committed to finding the best payment solutions for our customers and will update our accepted payment methods as we explore better options.

As part of our commitment to our puppies, we provide ongoing support for our puppy families after the pick-up date. Adjusting to life with a new puppy can be a significant change, and we are dedicated to helping our puppy owners every step of the way. Whether you have questions or concerns, you can reach out to us through text message, phone call, email, or social media, and we will be there to provide assistance and guidance.

Our commitment to our puppies’ safety and welfare is endless. We will accept a puppy back at any point in its life without any questions. Our priority is ensuring our puppies are placed in loving and caring homes. Although we will not offer a refund or replacement, we are dedicated to guaranteeing the well-being of our puppies.
