We strive as Ohio & Kentucky German Shepherd exhibitors, trainers & breeders to show & produce
healthy, sound German Shepherd puppies who have great potential in AKC Obedience, Agility, Rally,
therapy dog work, SAR, herding, but still mild enough to be a welcomed dependable addition as a
family dog! Our pricing is very reasonable for the quality we offer! We also can provide Stud Service
for approved quality females. GSDs have been our hobby & true passion for the past 11+ years.
How OUR Puppies Are Raised
From a carefully planned conception until taking their rightful place beside you, our babies are given
the utmost of our love & attention. Our babies are whelped under watchful eye, & mother & babies are
cared for right here amidst the noise of every-day living of our home. Pups are gently handled &
socialised by our children from a very tender age. Their pleasant environment in our home is kept
clean & sanitary, a crucial part of making early housebreaking & in-home living much easier!
Licensed-vet checking to ensure we sell healthy puppies is our standard & is required by us PRIOR to scheduling client puppy
pick-up. Our pups are exposed to indoor-home crate living, various textured toys & walking surfaces, typical household noises(tv,
sweeper, etc), cats, & plenty more. Winter pups are raised exclusively indoors whereas spring/summer pups are raised indoor
with some outdoor playtime during the day. All pups from our breeding have their shot record & rightful registration papers on
hand at time of pick-up. Since we put so much TLC into raising our quality pups, we expect clients to be ready to make their new
Richthofen puppy a part of their lives & have the ability to provide all necessary care, nutrition, safe confinement (fenced yard or
kennel when not supervised), & love/attention raising a puppy requires. Raising a GSD puppy is a major commitment, so serious
consideration to all of these things is needed prior  to purchasing a puppy. Our pups all have solid nerves, quality pedigree
breeding, good hip background, solid build, & sharp looks. We feel they're well-rounded ideal examples of the great GSD breed.
