Reserve or Buy

1. A fenced yard.

2. Basic knowledge of the breed; (preferably you've owned a GSD before).

3. The ability to commit to your pup for their lifetime, which may be 10 - 14 years.

4. The desire and means to feed your dog a high quality food, without which you cannot keep them healthy and sound. We have specific recommendations; expensive does not always equal good.

5. You must agree to not breed your dog. ALSO, to not spay or neuter before your pup is, at the very least, one year of age (two years if you can manage it), which means keeping them responsibly contained and chaste.

Early spay and neuter can lead to many severe health problems, as does over-vaccination.

Once you've talked to us and decided on a German Shepherd puppy or trained dog, you can either purchase a pup if we have one available or, more likely, you'll go onto our RESERVE LIST. The majority of our pups are sold before they are weaned, so it's important that you get on the list in order to get a puppy. email us: Tevisjunky@att.net

Please note: 1. Deposits are $300. and are non-refundable. You can transfer them to the next litter ONLY. Please note: we do not refund if you simply change your mind. Your deposit is good for one change of litter.

2. We pick out your puppy for you based on what you desire in a grown dog. Please keep reading! It has come to our attention that many people pass us by because they cannot pick out their own puppy. Rest assured that we do this for YOUR benefit, not ours. When you get to "pick" your puppy from another breeder, are you choosing them from a photo? Do you actually go and sit with the litter at different times of the day when they are 4 and 5 weeks old? Do you know that pups change dramatically from hour to hour at times?

If not, then you are fooling yourself. Picking from a photo is like throwing darts blindfolded. It's almost impossible to tell what your puppy will be like earlier than 4-5 weeks of age, unless color is all you care about. We have had many many years of watching our pups grow up and can predict pretty accurately what they will be like from about 4 weeks on. Trust us. It's in our best interest too, that you get the right one. We will consider all your input and work with you to get you the pup you want. Keep in mind that many times, when we keep a pup for ourselves, we take the last one left. So don't feel like you aren't going to get a great puppy if we choose it, or it's one of the last ones. Our clients will tell you, they got exactly what they wanted. We will share references with you if you want to check up on us.

Mailing your deposit check : (please email us when you're ready and we'll give you the address.

Please make checks payable to Wendy Lumbert.

We will mail you an information packet well before your puppy is ready for pickup. It will give you all the info you need to know about books, crates, vaccines, early training and food. We ship you puppy food.

We will post or send you pictures as the litter grows up, usually once a week at the minimum.

For pups being shipped, final payment is due at six weeks of age, including shipping costs.

For pups being picked up in person, you can either pay in cash on the day of pickup, or by check or money order a week before. Please let us know what payment option you choose by the time your pup is 6 weeks old.
