Naming your puppy: Puppies are required to be named as in the German tradition where each litter is given a letter that their first name must start with, followed by my kennel name 'vom Himmelhoch'. Please provide three choices before pickup so each name can be approved and not duplicated in previous litters. Examples : Abel vom Himmelhoch, Brutis vom Himmelhoch, Cindy vom Himmelhoch.

Puppy Selection Process:
 At vom Himmelhoch Shepherds, we take great pride in our puppies. Our goal is to provide you with a puppy that matches your experience and goals as a new German Shepherd owner. We are more then just breeders but have been training our own breeding dogs for many years in the sport of Schutzhund. This gives us great insights into the drives and personalities of dogs we have been blessed with in our breeding program. Puppy selection starts on day one. Each pup is given a colored collar at birth for identification purposes. At the pups grow and develop, they are observed and tested numerous times throughout their eight weeks with us with introducing new toys (which pup investigates the new toy first, possesses the toy the longest), different flooring (grass, carpet, vinyl floors), food drive (hiding food thurout their environment for them to find), prey drive ( chase a ball or piece of rag) and retrieval, who will bring the toy/ball/rag back. We do all of these things to place the pup in the right home for both his sake and yours. So it is important that we have good conversations on what your goals are and what level of training you plan to do with your new puppy and your experience.
