Our working line puppies generally range from $1800 - $2750 and show lines generally range from $2500 - $3500.  These are general price ranges and pricing can vary depending on pedigrees and individual puppies.  Deposits are required in order to be placed on the waiting list and are non-refundable, although deposits can be transferred to another upcoming litter, if requested or if there are not enough puppies in a litter to accommodate everyone on our list.  Deposits can be transferred no more than twice and will only be held for two years before it is forfeited.  Puppies generally will be sold as "pet quality" unless evaluated as "working quality" by a professional trainer.  Most puppies would do well in ACTIVE companion homes and in homes wanting to start in club level Schutzhund (IPO) Dog sports.  All puppies come with pre-paid AKC registration, litter pedigree, micro-chipped, Up-to-Date on vaccinations, de-wormed, started on heart-worm medication, vet health record, puppy gift basket (bowl, leash, collar, food, toy, blanket, etc), and hip/health guarantee per written contract.  All puppies sold will be either DM "Clear" or "Carrier" - Puppies will NOT be "AT RISK" for DM per parentage.   


All puppies are sold with LIMITED AKC registration which can be converted to FULL registration once the puppy passes the required health certifications as specified in the written contract.  This is done in order to protect the German Shepherd breed from being plagued with genetic health problems due to poor breeding practices.

Understanding Hip and Elbow ratings
Since the AKC requires no genetic health testing for hips/elbows, we use the SV model (passing hips required  in Germany since 1966).  Passing hips range from A-Normal to Noch-Zugelassen.  For Elbows, passing ranges from Normal (0/0) to ED Noch-Zugelassen (1/1).  Below are the charts to help explain the ratings.

2025 PLANNED BREEDINGS







K2 Litter
VD Xia Warpeco & Havoc vom Haus Middleton
Available June 2025





We are very excited to announce our K2 litter with VD Xia Warpeco, ZVV1 and Havoc vom Haus Middleton, PPD. We expect this litter to have insane food/ball drive and moderate energy with a nice on/off switch when in the home. Puppies should be highly trainable and able to compete in most club level AKC sports but also make excellent family pets for ACTIVE companion homes. Puppies will all be stock coat (NO LONG COATS) and coloring will be dark sable, solid black and bi-color.

The dam, Xia Warpeco, was imported from the Czech Republic and has a-normal hips/elbows, is DM "Clear", Spondy "0" and clear shoulder x-rays. Xia has been Embark DNA tested for over 250 illnesses known to have a genetic component. She also earned her "VD" show title, which is equivilant to "very good". She has her ZVV1 working title, which she earned before the age of two and which tests her ability at protection, obedience and tracking.

The sire, Havoc vom Haus Middleton is the great grandson of my now deceased Police K9 partner, Tex vom Erlenbusch. His dam is our Czech import, Zea Kateko, ZVV1, who was also tested in protection, obedience and tracking. Havoc has certified hips, 0/1 elbows, is DM Clear and has been tested for over 250 illnesses known to have a genetic components.

We expect mating to take place in February 2025, with puppies being whelped at the end of April/beginning May and available to go home mid-June 2025.
