What is the Price of a West Coast Puppy?

Our prices range from $1,500 - $2,500. Pricing is based on who the parents of the litter are and whether or not those parents are imported, born in the US, SchH titled or if the litter is from a breeding in Germany. Prices may be higher depending on the litter for pick puppies or those with exceptional show potential. Older puppies may be priced higher as training progresses and if they are shown. Prices on puppies imported directly from Germany with German Pink SV Papers will vary according to pedigree/training/etc., German Import puppy prices start at $3,500. 
Deposits are $250 and are non-refundable, deposits can be transferred to another litter only if the current puppy on hold is less than two weeks old.
Please Call or Email for pricing on a specific puppy or litter.

Can I Go to a Show?

We always encourage our clients to both visit us at a show and to show their West Coast puppies. Not only is it a great opportunity to spend time with your puppy and your family, it is a wonderful learning opportunity as well. You will get to spend the day surrounded by other beautiful German Shepherd Dogs and will learn a lot, both about the breed and your own puppy by getting a critique from a German SV judge here from Germany to judge the dogs entered in that particular show. If you are interested in showing your puppy be sure to let us know at the time you reserve your puppy so that we can help you to choose the best prospect for you to take to the show ring.
