The handling starts with a set of specific exercises from day 3 of life, proven to increase the ability to handle stress. Pups are also introduced to a variety of surfaces, indoor and outdoor. They have access to my home and a variety of toys. They are visited by friends and clients including children of different ages. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with Children, Touch Desensitization, Household Desensitization, and Outdoors, e.g. rain.
I do follow a regular schedule for worming. My pups are vet checked before placement and are vaccinated as appropriate. I microchip the litters as well. I handle the AKC registration and microchip registration of the pup for my clients.
We send our puppies home with AKC Registration and Microchip.
Arna offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
German Shepherd

Morgen Haus Shepherds reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Temperament Test
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
