Von der Otto German Shepherd is a German Shepherd Breeder selling Exceptional West German Show Lines with Families in mind. The West German bloodlines are bred for great attitudes and superb temperament and go through rigorous testing to qualify for breeding. Our pedigrees include 2X World Sieger Yasko vom Farbenspiel, Rikkor von Bad-Ball and VA Hill vom Farbenspiel. Our dogs are not just breeding dogs to us they are part of our family. Our goal is to make your experience with your German Shepherd Dog as happy as ours. Our German Shepherd Dogs used for breeding are carefully selected making them an exceptional Family Companion and Personal Protection dog for all ages. We are a small kennel, which allows us to give our German Shepherd puppies the time and attention for socializing them with different situations. One of the most important times in the life of a German Shepherd dog or German Shepherd puppy is the first eight weeks. As a German Shepherd Dog Breeder we know the buyer does not have control over those crucial weeks.  The difference we make as breeders in the way the German Shepherd puppies are cared for and handled is extremely important. As German Shepherd breeders our German Shepherd puppies spend the first four weeks in our home and handled several times a day by different adults and young children. The next two weeks our German Shepherd puppies are moved to an air conditioned kennel and handled several times daily. The final two weeks, before the German Shepherd puppies are ready for your home, they are taken outside and familiarized with the elements of the outdoors. The German Shepherd puppies are also started on a tug to encourage play drive. The special touch from a small kennel gives the German Shepherd puppies an extra advantage over large kennel owners. Our puppies come with a written guarantee.
