Our
goal is to breed puppies with sound minds and healthy bodies combined
with balanced temperaments, and that noble look. This combination makes
the total package for a great German Shepherd, allowing them to become
loyal companions, protective friends, beautiful family pets, and great
working dogs.
Over
the years of breeding dogs we have learned many things, but one of the
most important is that having a dog as part of your family is a great
and rewarding experience. Everyone should feel the love and devotion
that a canine companion can bring into their lives. Another thing we
have learned is we will breed for what we want, not what some judge
wants to see, or breed because this dog has that title, or this title.
All of our dogs are valued family members and receive the love and
attention they deserve. We raise only a few litters a year so the
puppies will receive the attention and socialization that is so
important in their early development. It also allows us to spend time
with each litter and watch them grow and develop into their own
personalities so when it is time for the new families to choose their
new puppy we can guide them into which pup is the right match. We
temperament test our puppies from day one, and by the time they are
ready to go we know them very well!
All
of our dogs are OFA or OVC certified clear of hip and elbow dysplasia.
All puppies will be CKC registered, micro-chipped, tattooed, de-wormed,
vaccinated, vet checked and come with a written guarantee, as well as 6
weeks insurance. You will also receive a 5 generation pedigree along
with a photo album, lots of fun info on puppy stuff and a health record
of the puppy. We provide continuous after sales support and assistance
to all of our shepherds and puppy buyers, and feel honoured when these
people come back for their second puppy. We have one family who bought a
puppy from our very first litter and have now owner 5 of our dogs!
Our
puppies are born in our house where we can constantly watch over and
monitor their growth and development. We have a video camera in the
whelping room so we can watch the mother and puppies without always
disturbing them. There is also a live cam so that people anywhere in the
world can go on the internet 24/7 and watch the puppies play and grow.
Once they are 5-6 weeks old, they are allowed to be outside in our big
covered kennel runs so they get to interact with the adult dogs and see
the big wide world. We believe that lots of handling, attention, love
and socializing is essential for our pups. We spend many hours walking
down Main street Courtenay and standing in front of busy stores with our
pups!
