| We strive as Ohio & Kentucky reputable 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 AKC 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 even considering scheduling client puppy pick-up. Our pups are exposed to indoor-home crate living (thus housebreaking & crate training is already started before pick-up!), 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-no worries. 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. |
