Price?

Breeders charge anywhere from $2000 to $4000 for German Pinscher Puppies based on color and gender.   Price is NOT an indicator of quality, health or temperament as all breeders regardless of their ethical standards will charge these prices.  Buyers should fully investigate breeders with regards to                                                 1) contractual health guarantees, 2) extended pedigree health certifications (not just parents), 3) make a visit the breeder’s home to evaluate the conditions the breeder is raising their puppies in and to evaluate the temperament of the parents.  Buyers should also do their research on the inbreeding coefficients of any litter under consideration.  Be aware that the USDA requires breeders with more than four females to make all sales in person with buyers or, if they ship dog, they must be licensed with USDA.  If the breeder ships ask to see a copy of their USDA license.  If even one puppy is sold “sight unseen”  a breeder is required to undergo USDA inspection and liscensure.  This measure is meant to crack down on unscrupulopus breeders who sell unhealthy puppies on the internet to unsuspecting buyers and is designed to protect the puppy buyer.  For more information visit AKC’s Government Relations FAQ.   Ear cropping and travel costs to pick up a puppy are additional costs for the new owner.

What about ear cropping?     

 I prefer not to crop ears on pet puppies but can crop if requested.  Our show prospects ears are cropped as this is my preference in the show ring, however the

surgery is primarily cosmetic.   For those people who want cropped ears, surgical aftercare is the responsibility of the new owner as is the months of taping and

posting ears once they are healed.  Owners will need either a local vet experienced in ear crops or an experienced GP, Doberman, Boxer, Schnauzer or Dane

breeder/owner who can support you in the months following with ear aftercare, taping and posting.  Some vets will not provide aftercare and taping to puppies

they did not crop due to the liability if the ears fail to stand.  The puppy’s training and socialization must proceed as it would with any other puppy without cropped

ears, so ear cropping requires even more dedication on the part of new owners in order to get it right.   

What about tail docking and dewclaws?

Tails are typically banded at birth or within the first 24 hours.   Tail banding is not traumatic or painful to the puppy.   A tiny orthodontic rubber band is placed on the tail at the desired length.  The blood flow is restricted to the end of the tail causing the tail to go numb, wither, dry up and fall off within 2-3 days.   Dewclaws are typically removed.  When we are producing a litter we intend to dock, buyers who want a natural tail need to get their reservations in and pay in full for the puppy prior to their birth.  A puppy of your preferred color and gender will be chosen and left natural.  When we are producing a litter where we expect to export, the entire litter may be left natural.  Tails and dewclaws will be surgically removed at 8 weeks for buyers from a natural litter who want a docked tail at no additional cost to buyers.

7 week old Izba and Winston sons  posing for Independence day - 2016
Gabi x Romeo puppies - born January 2019
5 week old puppies out of Cami & Felek born May 2019
Kerin and Bryan had 9 puppies in February and they turned out so fantastic in both conformation and tempermanet that the breeding will be repested in June!   Puppies would arrive in August and be available in October/November. I am looking for a local pet home for a potential stud dog from this litter.  Message me for more details and references.
