Do you make your living selling dogs?

No. If I could break even on the dogs I would be thrilled, but I can't remember a year that has happened.

Do you sell puppies to pet homes?

Yes, I will place puppies in 'active' pet homes. While a working German Shepherd can also make a great house dog and companion, this is when it's also being actively trained or worked and has the outlet needed for its drives and working abilities.

Do you sell puppies with breeding rights?

All puppies are sold on limited registration.
