German Shepherds

We at Vom Younghaus Shepherds are truly dedicated in providing you with only the BEST EAST & WEST GERMAN WORKING/SIEGER BLOODLINES! It is our belief that a dog who possesses outstanding qualities themselves may not produce it if they do not carry these qualities genetically in their pedigree. Look through our pedigrees and see Only the cream of the crop in working bloodlines. Generation after generation you will see dogs that have been outstanding workers as well as super producers throughout their career. It just doesn’t get much better then this! We then make sure each dog has the proper working drives, confidence and nerves needed to become a top working dog. Our dogs are 50% bred for all areas of work from Schutzhund, Police Service (Patrol/Narcotic & Bomb Detection), Personal Protection, Search & Rescue, as well as the perfect family companion/protection

As of 2008, we have incorporated West German Sieger bloodlines into our pedigrees. We are combining the pedigrees for a more family type companion and area protection dog. More of a moderate to above average drive for Obedience work and Schutzhund Sport. There is occasionally a 100% working breeding available.

our breeding program

It is very important to us that in our breeding program we strive to consistently produce that TOTAL DOG. We believe that the success of any breeding program mainly stems from the maternal quality a kennel possesses. All of our Females have stable temperament’s and SOLID NERVES. In addition, we believe that proper structure allows a dog to work to their fullest potential with ease. If you look through our pedigrees you will see many “V” rated (EXCELLENT) or KKL1 (RECOMMENDED FOR BREEDING) dogs. It has become very difficult to find nice structured 100% German Bloodline working dogs. In our breeding program, it is our goal to produce this type of dog. We like the 50% Siger and 50% working bloodline combinations since 2008. We see results. Many great family dogs, obedience and confirmation show dogs in the AKC.

THE FOUNDATION BLOODLINES SPEAK FOR ITSELF:

Just to name a few! Listed within is the foundation of our exclusive breeding program designed to produce dogs with working drives, sound nerves, correct structure, classic saddle back markings, as well as robust health and longevity. We have gone to great expense to bring together the stock capable of producing our ideal. Take a look and see, we are sure you will be as satisfied as we are!

How to purchase a

German Shepherd Puppy

We make sure each dog has the health care and worming at the appropriate ages. Worming is done at 3 weeks, 5 weeks and 7 weeks of age. We will also help to crate train the pups by establishing a morning routine for the pups. We let them on the grass to relieve themselves, feed them, let them have 30 minutes time outside to do their business again, then put them in individual crates to learn how to be relaxed and quiet in a crate alone. We start with a positive 30 minutes on the first day. Then increase the time till the pups can stay in their crate for up to 3 to 4 hours at one given time. If a puppy can hold in the kennel for 3 to 4 hours, this allows for the new owners to be able to have a head start on house training.

We give them their first puppy booster shot at 7 weeks then monitor them in separate kennel runs, 5 x 15 feet, for 7 days prior to shipping them to their new homes at 8 weeks of age. This teaches the puppies basic manners and how to continue their routine in new surroundings.

Vom Younghaus

Since 1992 “Vom Younghaus” is a registered kennel with the United Schutzhund Club of America and the American Kennel Club. (AKC) We have proudly produced over 100 wonderful litters over 30 years . Prior to breeding, we look very carefully to find the right combination out of German working and Sieger lines. A combination of both Genotype and Phenotype of both parents as well as hours of research on the pedigrees of both parents, help us to make the proper selection to produce this special pup. We have a computer database in which we have about 80.000 dogs. With this program, and the German SV hip database program, we hope to research all their backgrounds and try to avoid any defect like hip dysplasia, teeth or ear defects etc.

In addition to the normal daily monitoring among littermates, we also individually test them at 6, 7 weeks of age. We teach them how to walk up and down stairs and expose them to loud sounds at an early age. Lawn Mowers, food bowls banging and saxophone. Keeping a record of levels of Pack, Prey, Food, Retrieve, Hunting, and Fight drives. We also test and evaluate levels of Social, Elevation Dominance, Touch, Sound sensitivity and the desire to pick up objects.

Our puppies are hand raised and touched all over their bodies for the first 10 days of life. De sensitizing them to ear cleaning, nail trimming and grooming. They are exposed to other breeds of dogs and are exposed to a variety of sights and sounds of the city at an appropriate age. They may also swim in and experience our beautiful Hawaiian waters. We then review our records to select the right pup for your needs! All of our puppies come with a written Guarantee.
