If you are looking for a superb German Shepherd Dog you came to the right place.

Imports:

We specialize in imported German Shepherds from Germany. Our experience, knowledge, and love for the breed will help us find the right dog for you. No matter if you are looking for a lovable older dog to be your family pet or a puppy with true show potential, we can help you find her. We handpick each and every dog, in most cases specifically for the buyer. We have longstanding relationships and friendships with some of Germany's most reputable and successful German Shepherd breeders but also work with rescue organizations and private citizens to give well tempered, beautiful dogs a second chance.

Breedings at "von den Oher Tannen":

We are very proud of our own breeding program. Our females are bred, after extensive research, to only the best stud dogs in the world. While we only have a few litters each year, we are certain that the quality of pups is unbeatable. We breed by German standards which means that our dogs have met all of the following requirements:

•Hip and elbow certification
•Obedience Test
•Endurance Test of 12 miles
•Schutzhund 1 title for females, Schutzhund 2 title for males
•Breed survey by a German judge with a Körklasse 1 rating
•Conformation Show rating of SG (Youth), V or VA


We currently have imported German Shepherds as well as U.S. bred German Shepherd puppies and adults available. Please contact us for more information.



Search, Research & Consulting


Finding the right dog in a foreign country is difficult, especially if you can't travel there yourself or don't understand the language. After extensive research, we travel to Germany to see our prospects first hand. Being a German native allows me to negotiate with breeders in German and we have brought home the "pick of the litter" on more than one occasion. Please check our previously placed dogs page for some examples.


Logistics

Setting up a live animal shipment from one country to another can be overwhelming. We will take care of everything for you:

•Health requirements
•Transport to the airport
•Airline & customs paperwork
•Intra-US transportation
•Special requirements like customs brokers or airline temperature acclimation certificates


Guarantees

We research bloodlines in great detail to ensure that we find you the healthiest dog possible. For dogs younger than a year, we provide you with the parent's hip and elbow ratings so that you can feel confident about your new puppy's health. We also provide you with a list of "Do's and Don'ts" that will keep your puppy's bones healthy during his vulnerable first year. If your new friend is older than a year he will have certified hip and elbow ratings of his own. Regardless of your dog's age, he will come to you with a vetarinarian issued health certificate.



Lifelong support

Letting us help you find your German Shepherd means having support
for life. No matter what your needs are, we will do whatever we can to
assist. Do you need help with choosing the right food for your new dog,
finding a trainer or Schutzhund or Agility club, getting your dog
registered with the American Kennel Club, or showing your champion
at a conformation show? We can help. Let us know if you would like to
have your dog professionally trained. We can arrange for your dog to
be sent to Germany and train with the experts. While this option is not
exactly cheap it guarantees that your dog reaches its full potential.
Getting your dog from a pet to a Schutzhund 1 level can happen in as
little as four months. Ask us for options.
