photo-24Thank you for your interest in our world recognized breeding program and our internationally sought after dogs. The availability of puppies and how deposits work is explained in detail below. We do have some older dogs, most are young adolescent dogs (males and females). You can look at the link for older dogs below.

We believe that the black German Shepherd is a different dog and we feel that in another 20 years, they will be considered a different breed of dog, or a sub-species of the German Shepherd dog. In fact, we are striving to set the foundation of that very plan and contribute to it coming to fruition ourselves.

The info below will answer most of your questions. Please understand, we get over a 100 inquiries a week on puppies. We strive to provide answers to questions rapidly and efficiently. However, if your question is answered here or on our website, you will be directed to the answer. Also please feel free to call us at 775-BEST DOG.

——————-

We have multiple locations now but our main location is in North Carolina, USA.  We have shipped dogs all over the world now (to 44 different countries), with dogs from our facility now in every continent (except Antarctic). As an overview, our puppies start at $3500 and the “pick of the litters” (1 male and 1 female from each litter) go for $4500. About 70% of our puppies are sold before they are born. We only take 3 deposits on males and 3 deposits on females per litter.

IMG_4026We always tell people that if price is a deciding factor, we are probably not the right breeder for you. If quality is the deciding factor, we are the ONLY choice, especially when it comes to all black 100% West German lineage, German Shepherds. All our breeding dogs (both males and females) are fully titled SchH 3/IPO 3, Kkl 1, V rated dogs, with ZW scores below 85 with most being below 79, and most have FH1 or FH2 titles in addition. If a dog is not SchH 3 or IPO 3, is not V rated and is not Kkl 1, we do not breed them.

We are the ONLY breeder in North America who can say that. And for all black German Shepherds, we are the only breeder in the world that can say that. All our dogs are AKC registered and ever single dog has a pedigree that goes back at least 7 generations if not further. And all our dogs are 100% West German lines…the best and original German Shepherd dog lines in the world.

We have dogs currently serving in the military, law enforcement, as service dogs (medical), as search and rescue dogs, as well as personal protection and competition dogs. And of course, we have many that are companions and/or family pets. We have sold dogs to people in 44 countries now including people from Germany that have bought dogs from us (3 times). To the best of our knowledge, we are the only ones who can say that in the US. And we are proud to say we have had 16 different breeders in 5 countries (USA, Canada, Egypt, Equador and Germany) purchase dogs for their breeding program from us.
