Getting on the waiting list is suggested to assure the pick place before the pups go to non Service Dog homes.
VISITING: When making plans for a visit, Please be prompt! If you're running late ('life' happens) please let me know so I can adjust my schedule. ....
Late pick ups/Boarding:
Pups are ready to go home at 8 weeks of age. If you need your pup to stay here beyond the original pick up time, (if more than a few days is needed) arrangements for boarding is possible at an added fee. All balances including the boarding fee will need to be paid in cash, in full, before the puppy can leave here. NOTE: Unless training has been discussed up front, and agreed to, training will not be included in any boarding fee. These are separate fees.

Contacting us:
3 steps to a stress free transaction:
(* Tip: double check your email to make sure it's correct. There have been times I try to respond and instead get the "Address not found, Unable to deliver". So double check to make sure there are no "typos")
Step 1) Send a message of interest (email is preferred.. or text or voicemail) and we'll answer all your questions you may have. Answering your questions is number one. (Email is preferred for 1st contact for future reference)
step 2) The questionnaire. If you need to, these 2 steps can go back and forth sometimes, and that is perfectly ok :) ....
When all that is mutually satisfactory, THEN we move to step 3,
step 3) payment options.... (deposit is required for holding a pick place)
This is how we do it, so if someone asks for your personal info before they answer all of your questions, please beware! Giving out your full name such as a copy of your ID along with your address, is a dangerous thing to do before you are very certain all other "boxes have been checked". It's very very important to be careful out there in the world of internet! Don't feel bad about asking all kinds of things if you need to, a good breeder will welcome those questions! ..... Just be safe!
PLEASE teach your pups manners right away... Too many pups are dumped or banished to the backyard, or even worse: labeled as a "vicious dog" due to bad behavior, whether it be 'herding', biting, nipping, jumping on people, stealing, or other form of unacceptable behavior. They need you to teach them! Here is a good video to show you they CAN be disciplined (the momma dog disciplines her pups that are being disobedient, pushy and obnoxious. Her discipline is strict but not painful nor destructive). I think everyone that is thinking of getting a puppy should watch this video to make sure they are up to the task of teaching / parenting a pup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHBe0jT6S3U
DNA Health Screened
Why? Because they can't tell us their full family health history!
DNA and DNA Health Tested. One is simply a number assigned by AKC to stud dogs (that one is NOT health related) and the other can be one test or a full panel of tests. Make sure you ask the breeder which one they are referring to if they're using the term "DNA"! Also beware of registries that are not AKC, many of them will register ANY dog that simply LOOKS purebred.
***Not ALL of the above health issues are exclusive only to the GSD, but all issues above CAN affect the GSD so our dogs are tested for them all. We give them the best start possible, and hope that you will be aware of all things possible from there on out. See Health page for risks to pets today.
Last litter
Past litters. Each litter gets this same start in life
Large areas, playthings to explore and climb on, and a naturally healthy lifestyle right from the start.
Most photos of the pups will be candid photos (as always) while they're playing out in their field or when they come up close to the gate. I have a great zoom on my camera, and I usually hide behind something to get the best pics.... at least until one of them catches my scent, then the photo session is over LOL! They have GREAT noses already at a very young age and as soon as they know I'm close they come running to my feet and the chance to get the candid pictures is over.... so we don't use "staged" photos other than their newborn ones up to 4 weeks old, all others are candid pics!
A large play area / puppy yard with toys and things to climb on provides the variety of surfaces, textures and toys important for health puppy development
Belle (now retired) and her 2021-22 litter
I'll stand firm for what's best for my dogs. If that means going out of my comfort zone then that's what I'll do. Please do whatever you feel is best for yours as well, & don't allow yourself to be bullied into something you're not comfortable doing. They depend on us for their safety!
Training is important,
but between training sessions the pups enjoy free time to just enjoy life
Around weeks 7 - 12 is a great time for a puppy to learn the important beginning skills such as: 'No', and 'Yes' (I use these as correction and praise and you might be surprised at how quickly they learn these two words!) Learning that YOU are the boss and they are not....(yes it's cute when they demand something or persist in pushing you into doing something they want, but obeying THEIR demands, WILL backfire on you when they get older if this is allowed to take a permanent hold. Remember that YOU are the head of their home, they are NOT. Love them, teach them, be consistent. supportive and fair) ... Also start their leash work, housebreaking, crate training, getting used to gentle handling controls, grooming, and accepting their human's top position as the leader. These things are crucial to the dog's long term good manners and their ability to fit into your world. Without a good & strong, yet gentle and loving leader, your cute little bundle of joy will quickly become an out of control brat that is no longer pleasing to be around. This 'bad behavior' (due to human error in training or neglect of training) is the number one reason for dogs getting "dumped". Take your 'parenting' seriously, they rely on you for that.
Nuisance barking is another one that should be addressed from the start. I've heard it claimed that German Shepherds are yappers (I heard this just recently from a GSD owner who has a 'yapper' but that dog also has other bad behaviors that no one has bothered to teach him otherwise, but that's not on the dog, that's on the OWNER that didn't bother to TEACH the dog good behavior!) I suppose that claim of being a yapper would be true of just about any breed if they've been allowed to nuisance bark when they were young!
I allow and even encourage mine to Alert Bark or Warning Bark, but I do NOT allow nuisance barking. Barking IS something that needs to be taught right from wrong behavior, no matter the breed. So start them off right. Don't break their protection instinct, but don't allow nuisance barking either. Make sure you know the difference so they also learn the difference!
SUPPLEMENT YOUR GROWING PUP!!! "I believe that prevention is the name of the game" ...."Doesn't it make more sense to prevent the disease from happening rather than waiting around to treat disease once it strikes and inflicts damage?"
~ Dr Wendell O. Belfield DVM
.... I agree 100%! ...Please keep up the natural health regimen once they get home to you! Provide good meat based food, and give the extra C that processed food does not supply. Use the form of 'Sodium ascorbate' for maximum structural and immune system growth! **A few weeks supply of the supplement is now sent home with each pup to hopefully encourage the continued use of it.
Yes, they matter THAT MUCH to us .....as all dogs should to their families!
**No I am not a distributor of any supplement, it is your choice to supplement or not, and I get zero monetary gain, I just get peace of mind knowing you are choosing a more natural approach to your pup's health.
Basic needs for your new addition to the family:
#1: Make an appt with your favorite Integrative, Holistic, or conventional vet, ....We require a Well Puppy Vet Exam within 5 days (updated to 5 days to allow time for those who might be picking up on fridays or over the weekends) of receiving puppy in order for you to have a valid Guarantee. Puppy health maintenance is top priority!
Start them off right: Get their core vaccines! (we went through the parvo disaster many many years ago and that experience is what brought us into the knowledge of natural options that we had not known of before, ....but "after the fact" is NOT where a person wants to be with that stuff!! ) .... .....Quote from VitalAnimal.com: "The decisions you make on their behalf can either enhance their vitality or damage it. They are dependent on your wise choices for their health and well being." http://vitalanimal.com/ is a veterinary website with a very insightful, less chemical way of looking at the health of your pet, naturally whenever possible...:
Please consider a Holistic or Natural care Vet or at least a vet that is open minded to adding the natural knowledge and treatments to their "tool box"! (considered an 'Integrative' vet)
Don't be afraid to change vets if you run into resistance with a vet, (even we have had to do this once!) this can happen for many reasons, but your confidence and trust in your vet should be top priority! We use natural options as our first course of treatment for issues, so we need a vet that will be supportive and understanding. We have a conventional vet that I rely on for their expertise in things we cannot do for ourselves as well as for Well Puppy exams and Travel Certificates!
Also do your research on the many benefits of Sodium Ascorbate (links & general info are provided in your pup's folder) All our dogs and pups get this and yours should too. In fact, if our Guarantee ever needs to be activated, we may ask for a 'blood draw" showing the VitC saturation be submitted along with the request for guarantee activation. We feel it IS that important! *This is the only vitamin not added to dog food, and even when it is, it does not do well under the processing conditions and doesn't store well in packages.
The health care maintenance is so very important. The less chemicals the better but we also know that sometimes chemical meds & treatments are the only option in dire circumstances. Getting the health care maintenance right is a balancing act, just as everything is in life.
So get them set up with your vet, and prepare for the antics of a puppy! They are a loving fantastic addition to the family!!
...............................................................................................
RE: AKC papers: Because we care about the future of our pups, and have had some buyers in the past deliberately breed their "limited" registered dogs, now all non breeding pups will go on a spay/neuter contract. This is noted on all purchase forms signed / initialed. Registration paperwork will be sent out immediately upon proof of spay or neuter. This is to keep things safe for the pups, to make it less desirable for dishonest people, unethical breeders, and puppy mills to use our pups! Dishonest people frequently cause a "tightening of the rules" for all. Sad but true, and I care a great deal about our pups!......If you're planning on competing and need the pup registered to do so, just let me know and we'll register your pup's individual papers (at your expense) in order for you to compete with an AKC dog. (Ownership of registration stays with Pearlinhaus until the Spay/Neuter agreement is fulfilled) Many people have chosen this option and I have no problem doing that for those who are serious about wanting to go have fun and compete with their pups in a "registered dogs only" competition.
(NOTE: This policy only applies to the non breeding rights pups, the breeding rights pups are under a separate contract. See Spay/Neuter/Breeding page)
Early Training! I also cannot stress enough the importance of proper early training! This needs to start right away when your puppy comes home!
I just recently found this article that puts my beliefs into words! It's spot on! Socializing is a big thing in today's world, and although it's very important it is most often misunderstood and misused, sometimes ruining a GREAT pup ... This article explains the way we do it to socialize a pup: http://www.collared-scholar.com/more-harm-than-good-3-reasons-why-i-never-socialize-my-puppies/
Early puppyhood should be spent focusing on the BOND of love, respect, paying attention to you and building the trust between you and your pup via training. Respect also means they should NOT be allowed to bully you!
See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHBe0jT6S3U to watch how a fantastic momma dog disciplines her very well behaved litter of pups. This responsibility falls to you as their new parent! Be loving, and fair, but continue to teach their manners!
The outside world can be a very scary thing or a huge distraction. Be careful not to force, or make a big deal out of, unwanted advances from others or scary issues or else you might create an insecure dog out of a normal puppy. Let them grow naturally, loving & trusting and respecting you as his/her leader.
Too many people don't get the early training started, or they go too hard and fast on a pup (some people misunderstand 'respect'...respect does not mean you 'tower over' or intimidate the puppy, it simply means you lovingly but firmly establish some rules while playing. In the video above, the mom dog is NOT being mean, you can see they love her and she loves them, but they also respect her as she weans them off of her. It's important that your pup understands you are the new parent. If a pup is allowed to be the boss or bully, you will lose all the pup's respect. IF anything should happen that you need to control him/her, such as chasing the neighbor's cat, or running out into the street, or snapping at someone over a toy or food, you won't be able to control your pup ....this is a SAFETY issue for your pup.
Take the time to establish training and rules, he/she depends on you for that and it should start from day ONE!. They CAN learn one thing at a time!
Leash control is a great tool to use for early training! Work at home at first to teach "leave it" and to "watch me". These two basics will help you tremendously when finally moving out into all the distractions of the world. Don't let them be the boss at the end of the leash, don't let them pull you towards something THEY want to go investigate! If they do pull, simply stop moving or quickly go in another direction. Teach your puppy with loving firmness and he/she will ADORE you! This doesn't mean they won't test the boundaries once in a while, that's normal, but when they do it's important that they find those 'respect boundaries' are still there. Think ahead when getting a puppy and determine which are the unbendable, non negotiable rules and stick with it, even if you're in a hurry, you NEED to stop and make corrections if needed or they WILL learn there are loopholes in the rules!
FOOD: My suggestion is to find a brand that offers a grain free, or GMO free, or limited ingredient variety that avoids corn, soy and wheat...and now peas too, legumes are being suspected for a lot of new ailments cropping up in the last couple of years.
UPDATE: the last few years have brought updated awareness of the diet needs of our dogs, and that corn wheat and soy (and now legumes as well) are NOT healthy elements in their diet.
While some dog food companies did get on this same page, now however they seem to have slipped too far to the other side of the spectrum and are adding a cheap protein replacement of legumes, usually "Peas"....I avoid those formulas for our dogs .http://truthaboutpetfood.com/disappointing-trend-in-rising-pet-food-market/.. It is debatable though, (so do more research, as I will be doing too) ..... Our preference for ours here is free of corn, wheat, soy and now free of peas as well. Our dogs get home made food as well so they do pretty well on their variety of foods and proteins. We also have a young child so there are lots of healthy leftovers and table scraps that they also get, and even their treats are all natural and home cooked.
And AGAIN, don't forget to add Sodium Ascorbate as their daily Vit C! We've always added Vit C, but our most recent research showed us that it MUST be the 'Sodium Ascorbate' form for best use! Any other form is not utilized as effectively by their body system.
We now include a few weeks supply of Sodium Ascorbate to go home with each pup as we've learned many new owners are confused as to what kind to get and so they've ignored this need of their pups.... Vit C does the same for the immune system of dogs as it does for our own immune systems! (It is a requirement of ours that our pups get this at least through their growing/developing stages)
https://www.natural-dog-health-remedies.com/vitamin-c-for-dogs.html
Preventive Health care: GET those vaccines, and keep the parasites away....but don't over do it!! reactions to overuse of vaccines and chronic use of chemical meds DO happen all the time and the most common severe symptoms are seizures, cancer, allergies, skin ailments, autoimmune disease and a few more. They can manifest within minutes, hours, days, weeks or months! .... Your job in continuing to keep them healthy once they leave here is to not only protect them from parvo, rabies, ticks and fleas but also to protect them from the complications from the OVER-use of chemicals. We use all natural treatments as our first line of defense, and we hope you do too.
TREATS: When you're getting ready to bring your puppy home, remember that treats are as important as the food you choose! Please give them human grade treats. We don't give commercial treats of any kind. Making our own slow baked liver treats is SUPER easy!
We just bake human grade beef liver into treats, brushed with a little coconut oil to keep it from sticking to the pan, slow baked until dry, and then frozen in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Remove from freezer and place in a freezer bag. Take out what you need and that's it!. The dogs and pups LOVE it and I know there is no chemical danger to my babies. Many puppies are getting seriously ill and even dying after some commercially produced, highly processed "pet" treats that may or may not get "recalled" before damage to your pup.... Bacon, cheese, jerky, etc from your own kitchen are also great treats! Just remember, they're intended as TREAT BITS, not a meal LOL!
More Pups from Past Litters
UPDATE 03/18/2018 Questions come up all the time about what food I recommend, and I used to share the brands that I feed, but the latest recalls are constantly changing so I think we'll just take it day by day now. I will still talk with you about the brands we use at the time, but even that could change from one day to the next. A good rule of thumb I use is to stop feeding any brand that has a recall (of course) but to not condemn it too quickly if I have had relatively good experience with it. Sometimes those recalls are brought by the company due to a minor issue that is very quickly rectified, and sometimes it's a voluntary recall due to the company's questioning it's own quality, thus recalling for the safety of it's customers. That's something to be admired, I can respect that! So I wait it out until much more is learned about it. Although the recent brands in a class action lawsuit are not ones I use, or have ever used, it still brings a person to the realization that any brand can have a recall and we just need to take things one day at a time.
There has been lead found in a major (and considered "high end") brand. The lead came from the facility where the food was produced, so even though the ingredients of a brand may seem like the best for your pet, there is still the possibility of recalls. So RESEARCH your favorite brands, find links that announce recalls, BE CAREFUL and be informed. I will share what my dogs and the pups are being given at the time they are heading home with you, because that is "at that moment" but that too could change if I hear of any recalls. I now think it's best to just take it one day at a time and not make any recommendations unless it's "in the moment"
I also strongly advise against rope toys while unsupervised! Please don't leave them within reach when you're gone or over night or while they're pups in a crate! We had an incident (2016) with one of our moms and a rope toy. She had played with them all her life yet all it took was ONE time for her to swallow a good piece of it, have it not pass through, then more items got caught in it and she wound up in dire straights heading to the vet as an emergency case!. Since we didn't know what was causing her distress, it took a couple of days in the vet's and several tests, x-rays, ultra sound, etc before the vet decided to just 'go in and take a look'. Thank goodness because that was the only way the mass was found! X-rays and ultra sound did NOT show the mass! Shes fine now, but that rope toy taught an EXPENSIVE lesson! So now, like cooked chicken bones, the rope toys will not be a part of their unsupervised play toys anymore! I've replaced these toys with 'Unbreakoballs' and even the 'toy eating' mom loves them.... and they're guaranteed by the manufacturer!!

The following photos are of Past Litters and the life of our pups
all our litters live just like this,... always!
Pics From years past
These 4 were my last ones still home with me at the beginning of 2016.
In these pictures;.....I noticed all their tennis balls seemed to have disappeared, probably under the snow, so I brought out a new bundle....they LOVED them! I love watching them when they get new toys....Enjoy
Playtime with our then 2yr old (2015) is always a hit with both my grandson and the pups!
Here's a video of them enjoying the playtime outside:
