Husky & German Shepherd litters, bred for service work.

Depends on the litter. The husky and German shepherd lines we breed have steady demand, especially for service-dog candidates. Typical waitlist for a specific pairing is 6-18 months. Some unexpected slots open from waitlisted applicants moving up litters — we will tell you on the consult if a closer option is realistic.

Both, in sequence. You tell us your placement intent (service-dog candidate, working role, family pet, sport prospect). We evaluate the litter at 7-8 weeks against your intent and present the right candidate(s). For service-dog candidates, the temperament test drives the choice more than your visual preference. For family pet placements there is much more flexibility.

For the life of the dog, if your situation changes and you cannot keep the dog, we take the dog back — no questions asked, no fees. We do this because it protects the dog and protects the breeding program. Better the dog comes home to us than ends up in a shelter or a bad placement.

Yes, with structured support. The owner-trainer pathway is hard work and we coach you through it via the service-dog programs (see /service-dogs). We will be honest on the consult about whether you are ready for the time commitment a service-dog candidate requires.

Visits start at 5-6 weeks. Earlier visits stress the dam and disrupt critical early neurological development. We send daily photo and short video updates from week 1 so you do not feel disconnected before the first in-person visit.

Yes. Volhard puppy aptitude testing, structured environmental exposure (surfaces, sounds, novel objects), and positive handling start within the first few weeks. The 8-16 week socialization window starts before you even take the puppy home.

Standard puppy go-home (typically 8-9 weeks): first round of DAPP, deworming, microchipped, vet-checked, and a written health record. Future vaccines are on your vet schedule.

We breed primarily husky and German shepherd lines and select mixed litters. For other breeds we have a referral network of breeders we trust. Ask on the consult.
