AYER'S LONG COAT GERMAN SHEPHERDS |
MOST of our dogs REALLY DO live IN our home. Most of our dogs spend part of the day and most all of the nights in our home. Since we have more than can all fit in the house at one time, the few others get 'rotated' and come in during most of the days and some of the nights when a few of the others have to spend the night out! ALL of the dogs get to be out in the yard for about half of the day which keeps us pretty busy rotating everyone in or out of kennels, yard or inside. We are looking to place a few of our dogs so that everyone can be in at night and in bad weather. Friends, neighbors, and our many Breeder friends can vouch for this! Just let us know if you would like references! All of our Puppy Owners who come to our home to pick out their Puppy see this as well- with 8-12 inside! :-) Every one is just so excited to be meeting all the dogs and so awestruck by the size and beauty and friendliness of these magnificent animals! - and has so much fun! Most call it 'German Shepherd Heaven'! ALL of our Puppy Owners have generously said we may use them as references as well. We wont just give you a reference that 'we' pick... You can pick out any dog from our site and we will give you their #. |
Occasionally - it may take us a day or two to return emails. For immediate info call 304-384-8884. |

There is a $300.00 non-refundable - no exceptions - deposit to hold a puppy for you.(will be deducted from total price of Pup) If I do not have what you are desiring in your chosen litter- the deposit may be transfered to the next available litter. If you pass to a future litter your position may change up or down depending if others have or have not put a deposit on a pup in another litter before your needing to move to another litter. Deposit is only refundable if I can not give you what you desire - EX: boy or girl. Once we recieve a deposit we will send you via e-mail- a puppy application, lots of info on training/socializing/feeding/caring for your new puppy, shipping info, contract/guarantee, etc. A new page is up where new owners can go to get all this info themselves. |

Pregnant and Due in 3 Weeks: |
Here is a math challange for you: : One female dog has a litter of 4 puppies. She has the same number of pups twice a year for 6 years. If every puppy born from every litter during those six years has four puppies, how many puppies will have been produced during that 6 year period? Answer to the Math Challenge: If allowed to breed, one female dog can cause the production of 972 puppies within 6 years! PLEASE! Spay and Neuter your pets.You'll be doing a good thing. |
We do not stud out our males - nor at this time, do we use 'outside males' as we prefer to use males that we are very familar with their lines, males that are from our own kennel- some being total outcrosses or from our own breedings. Also this way we do not have to worry about infections such as brucellosis, etc. |
NEW PUPPIES HAVE ARRIVED!!! Phone calls only now. |
Some of our Puppy Owners have already enjoyed the fun experience of getting together with other Puppy Owners that live near them for fun and socializing! and pictures. They are able to meet other litter mates or sometimes other pups that may be related to their pup or just other pups from us. If you are interested in getting together with other Puppy Owners we will try to put you in touch w/someone who lives near you! |
