Puppy Information
We do everything in our power to set our puppies up for success, starting from the very first second they are born. All our puppies are raised inside our home where they are monitored around the clock. Each puppy comes with a health guarantee, age appropriate vaccines, temperament testing, fully wormed, vet check, contract, AKC registration, microchipped, puppy go home bag of goodies, and lifetime support.
Deposits
We require a $500 nonrefundable deposit to hold your spot for a puppy. The remaining amount is due before the puppy leaves our home. If you would like to be considered for a puppy, we ask you reach out to complete our puppy application.
Puppy Culture
All our puppies at Von Willow German Shepherds are raised on Puppy Culture. Puppy Culture is an incredible socialization and training program used during the first weeks of a puppy’s life.
​
The first 12 weeks of a puppy’s life are incredibly important. This is an almost magical time when a breeder has the power to change the outcome of a puppy’s life by what they choose to teach them. By doing just the right things at just the right time, the breeder can give a puppy the best start possible.
Temperament Testing
Our puppies are all evaluated through Volhard temperament testing at 7 weeks of age, before being placed with their forever homes. This is crucial part of what helps us place each puppy in the home that’s the best fit for not only them but their new family. At 7 weeks of age the puppy’s temperaments are in full effect and what you see is what you are going to get, you can of course train your puppy, but you cannot change their temperament.
Puppy Placing Process
Puppy placement is done at 7 weeks of age, in order that deposits have been placed. At 7 weeks of age puppy’s will get their Volhard temperament testing done. After this families who have placed deposits are welcome to visit our home and meet the puppies, those who are not local have the option to view our puppies through videos and communicate with us over the phone. At this time, we go over individual temperaments and give our opinion on which puppy we feel would best fit your home. Puppies are placed in homes based off of what we feel will be the right temperament match for your needs/lifestyle. If we feel multiple puppies would be a good fit for your home, this is where you can pick between those said puppies. Puppies start leaving for their new families at 8 weeks of age, no sooner.
Pricing
Pricing for each litter varies depending on the pairing and lines. Our show line puppies start at $3500.
