Our goals at Vom Waldenhaus German Shepherds, which is centrally located in the beautiful Midwest Missouri Ozarks, are to improve the German Shepherd breed through proper genetic trait selectivity and the earliest possible handling and socialization. We spend hundreds of hours (along with our children) interacting, handling and observing each litter and puppy individually. We feel that proper early stimulation and interaction with each puppy helps foster high bonding with humans and creates companionship and respect, which logically eases resistance for later advanced training. Most kennels and self proclaimed breeders in today's make a "quick dollar" mentality, will breed almost any two randomly acquired German Shepherds just to produce puppies with little regard to selection of correct German Shepherd quality and disposition. In most cases the only socialization the pups get are with each other and once a day when they are feed and cleaned up after.

Unfortunately for the people who buy from such breeders, they will be lucky if they have one pup [about 10%] of the entire litter to pick from that could be considered and outstanding representation of the breed. That is if they even get to pick out their own puppy, most breeders today pick for you. You can just imagine who is going to get that "one" outstanding pup in the litter. It probably won't be you! |
| At Vom Waldenhaus German Shepherds, we pride ourselves on customer satisfaction, after you have looked through our 100+ page full color website, viewed pedigrees and letters of reference, if you like what you see, you can make a reservation. We will immediately put you on the list. When the puppies are 8 weeks old, if you live a great distance from our facility in central Missouri and can not come here to select your puppy, you will receive regularly updated pictures and streaming video clip of the puppies (designated with different color ribbons) of the type you are looking for to select from, with our best recommendations, however, the final choice is always YOURS. |
We do not believe that anyone should ever buy a puppy without seeing at least a video. We want you to feel comfortable that you are getting exactly what you are paying for. Buying a puppy should be a "fun-thing" from people you feel comfortable with, not filled with stress and frustration due to mistrust. Video provides absolute proof that "what we say we have, we can prove we have" and that you are going to get an excellent German Shepherd puppy from us. You will not have a disappointing surprise when you open up the airline crate. You are going to get the puppy you selected from our video.
We let our puppies leave when they are 10 weeks old and crate trained with a complete vaccination record and recorded personal identification tattoo number, signed guarantee and AKC papers. They are SHIPPED FREE of any charge including a new airline approved airline crate, complete air fare and associated taxes, comprehensive flight insurance coverage, Veterinarian FAA required health certificate and check-up, all airline reservations and connections set- up by us and free delivery to the departing airport - free shipping to any major airport anywhere within North America. The only really big responsibility you have is to pick-up your puppy at the airport and start enjoying the best present you ever got for yourself and your family.

We successfully and consistently produce large boned, beautiful black and red German Shepherd puppies that have exceptional temperaments. We breed only select German Shepherd dogs from Imported German bloodlines, which we have been breeding and working with for many, many generations, we know our bloodlines!! We are not breeding for the fads in the show ring, importing over the new hot bloodline and just hoping that it all works out, the lines we are working with, we have worked with for nearly 30 years, they are sound in health and temperament and while there are always potential flukes in any breedings, we have greatly reduced the chances of surprises because we have such a long history with these bloodlines and planning our breedings.
We have been very strict about health from day one, all of our breeding stock have been x-rayed to be free of hip dysplasia. Our German import blood lines are clean and free of the problems that most other breeders are plagued with. All of our breeding stock has been screened for the serious genetic trait that causes DM (Degenerative myelopathy) a horrible crippling disease that is very prevalent in the German Shepherd Breed.
We are very thorough about researched our breeding imports background extensively, but more unique than anything else, we have over the years, family raised complete litters to maturity at our facility so that we could evaluate each puppy at every stage in development, so know exactly what we are producing and sending out into your family's home.

| We consistently produce sound, high bonding companions with super intelligence and strong training drives. Each German Shepherd puppy we produce has the essential elements and strong bonding instincts to make them sound personal and loving family companions. Each litter produces some king-size pups and maximum for the standard size pups, never anything less in size or stature. We do not and would not breed specifically for over sized German Shepherd Dogs, but would not sacrifice the excellent temperament we produce just because only a few puppies in every litter happen to be slightly larger than the standard. Good breeding is always an educated and well informed balancing act. |
| As strictly German Shepherd Breeders, we have spent the last 30 years gathering as much analytical data as possible and our research of these selective breeding's has given us the tools to match up the outstanding traits of each individual to compliment the outstanding traits of each of our breeding pairs. For us proper breeding is more like an art form and a purposeful pursuit for the love of the breed. |
