Our Purchase Guidelines
We welcome any questions that you may have about our dogs or contract options. Selecting a dog from us will be an affordable way to own a great dog that you will have for many years of companionship. With that, we will provide:
- AKC registration papers (which are important to you and the breed) proving the:
- Purebred German Shepherd dog status of your new companion.
- Registered names and numbers of your companion and its parents.
- Provable genealogy, showing concern for the preservation of purebred breeds for the future generations of humans to enjoy and breed.
- DNA- and breed-specific qualities for temperament, type, looks, movement, workability, and health.
- Six-week pet insurance at no charges for purchases under 22 weeks of age. This includes:
- $1,500 to cover veterinary fees for illness and accidents (some restrictions) provided through the AKC if you qualify based on your location. Please consult the AKC site.
- $150 for advertising and reward if your pup is lost or stolen.
- Free certifications, as well as the titling paperwork for ancestors. These documents will be proudly presented as a testament to our dedication to this incredible breed and its preservation.
- A two-week supply of NuVet vitamins to get your pup started on a healthy life.
- Imodium and Albon for your pup’s first few days home to help it adjust without health issues.

- A puppy pack that includes:

Long-distance purchases are a fact of life; we gladly provide you with references to make your purchase process delightful and successful.
With an approved questionnaire and application, you may make a deposit for your new companion through this site. You will be informed by phone or email if you can reserve one of our special puppies or dogs. Please note that a minimum deposit of $250 is required. All purchases must be approved by Annette Sackrider. If your application is not approved, your deposit will be refunded. All approved deposits are transferable to another litter within a two-year period if a litter does not produce a suitable matching pup for you or if your situation changes, requiring the process to be delayed.

Please forward us your preferred litter choice list, along with the preferred sex, your name, address, and phone numbers so your application and deposit can be matched.
