BANFFY HAUS GERMAN SHEPHERDS
Importers and Breeders of German Shepherd Puppies and Young Dogs
Welcome to Banffy Haus German Shepherds. We are importers and breeders of German Shepherds located in Florida. Our goal is to place fine pedigreed German Shepherds with families to become their next legend, protector and companion. This website has a wealth of information in our K-9 college as well as over 50 articles we have written on everything from breeding to training, for you to use. It has been our pleasure to share our experience with you so that your experience will be a great one with these incredible animals.
Importers: Young Dogs: Started German Shepherds
Using our friends in Europe we are able to import amazing young German Shepherds for our family of clients. We only work with a couple of top kennel partners in Europe, one which we have worked with for years, are trusted and respected within the field and are personal friends of ours for many years. Many come back to us after 10, 15 years for their next dog. Young dogs we consider to import for a client will have the following characteristics or requirements:
- Started in obedience, many also in protection. Started means all the foundation is set. They know how to learn and have already learned the basics of obedience. We can provide even further training prior to ship if you so desire.
- 1-2.5 years old: German Shepherds in Europe get their hip and elbows surveys at one year old. We consider this a more accurate predictor of joint health than the OFA requirement of 2 years. So every young German Shepherd we import must be at least 1 year old. Also by this time most of the congenital problems have surfaced and we have a much better probability of knowing if a German Shepherd has any physiological problems by that time which lowers your risk substantially of buying a German Shepherd with issues.
- HD1/ED1 tops hips and elbows. This is a requirement for every dog we place.
- 10 point vet check and heartworm test.
- Videos and pictures: We will give you as many pictures and a couple of videos for you to see the dog moving and interacting as well as see the size and pigmentation and conformation.
- Full Pedigree analysis telling you about bloodlines and the highpoints of the dog in question
- Temperament analysis: We and our partners do a thorough analysis of young dogs in terms of how well they interact with other animals, with humans, energy level, drive, courage, etc. and present you with the results so you can make and educated decision and we can assure a proper match. We will ask you questions about your living situation, experience, family, etc in order to aid us in matching a dog to you situation. At 1-2 years old, these imported German Shepherds are still fairly adolescent and easy to matriculate into a home.
German Shepherd Puppies
As breeders, we do have also limited litters available of German Shepherd puppies from top notch parents either bred here in the US or at our partner’s in Europe, imported for you. Please refer to our philosophy and the Banffy Method for a description of our approach to puppies. I think you will be impressed.
Imports: SHIPPING AND PAPERWORK
We handle all the chore of arranging shipping and completing all the paperwork necessary for imports into the United States. We stand with you through the entire process and try to make it an effortless and pleasant process. We use professional freight forwarders who will ensure your dog is taken care of. We have never had a dog arrive sick or injured in 20 years. The price of the dog includes it all. The only cost you may have is to pay for a custom’s broker which we will recommend for you.
