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 provide Stud Service for approved
quality females. GSDs have been our hobby & true passion for the past 12+ 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. Their pleasant environment in our home is
kept clean & sanitary, a crucial part of making early housebreaking & the transition from our home to
yours much smoother. See a pic of how we raise our pups on our Mt. Pleasant KC page!
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), a cat & small dog & 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.
