Importers of Fine Young European 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. HD1/ED1 tops hips and elbows.  This is a requirement for every dog we place.
  4. 10 point vet check and heartworm test:  Heartworm Article
  5. 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.
  6. Full Pedigree analysis telling you about bloodlines and the highpoints of the dog in question
  7. 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.
