Thank you for your interest in a Herzog German Shepherd Puppy! We specialize in puppies with calm temperaments that are suitable for service, therapy, facility work and can do well in a family setting. To do this we choose our parent dogs with even temperaments, good health and correct conformation.
We stay away from high drive dogs as they are often unsuitable for the environments our pups are placed in and require a higher level of training. When we do have a pup that has higher drive requirements we work to match them with an owner who’s up for the challenge as our primary goal is the success of our pups in their new homes.
At this time we offer black and red, solid black and sable pups in long and short coats in our upcoming litters.
For help being matched with the perfect pup for you, please contact me, Kate Dalman, and we can discuss your needs and wants.

Remy
(Donation to Herzog’s Heroes Appreciated)
Our poor guy Remy is the sweetest boy. His heart broke when he was separated from his family. For days he didn’t want to interact with anyone. He’s been with us since the beginning of March and we’re working through his depression. I mention this because his new family will need to understand that the loss of his family was very difficult and he’ll need time to decompress and transition.
Remy is pure love. He’ll be 3 in July and is just under 80 pounds. He was raised in an environment where his owner had anxiety and was nervous to handle a big dog. In a situation like this, a dog will have their own nervous tendencies. As a result, he’s nipped on two separate occasions where he didn’t feel comfortable. Thankfully, they were not vicious attacks. It needs to be understood that if he’s uncomfortable, he can be unpredictable, which is why he cannot go to a house with young children. He does very well with teenagers, bonds with them closely and likes to sleep on their bed. His original home had a teenager as does mine and he loves them to pieces.
Remy’s ideal home will be with a family who does not have members who tend to have chronic anxiety or are nervous to be around a big dog. He will do excellent with owners who can provide stability and can recognize a dog’s body language when they are uncomfortable including shaking, lip smacking, ear pinning, whining, turning his face away or excessive yawning.
Personally, I’d like it if the new family would work with the trainer we recommend at least during the transition process just to be sure everyone is set up for success. I hope to see his next home be his forever home.
We are not asking a fee for Remy’s rehoming, we instead appreciate a tax deductible donation in the amount of your choice to our nonprofit organization, Herzog’s Heroes.
Rayna - Female
$3400
Our girl, Rayna from Nikolai & Sabrina’s litter is truly impressive. She’s focused, very intelligent and scored well on her assessment for service dog work.
Rayna is a problem solver and she will do best in a home that either has a job for her or is active and can stimulate her mentally.
She’s very quick to pick up on new things so she’ll do well with training. Her confidence is spot on, she’s not overly confident and head strong, but as we know, German Shepherds with any amount of confidence need an owner that will give boundaries.
In public settings, she is curious and isn’t easily spooked. She’s showing no signs of dog or people reactivity or anxiety so as long as she gets continued socialization she should continue to do well with that.
Overall, this is a very affectionate girl and will be a great fit for someone who can appreciate an intelligent pup. We’ve been working on walking on the leash and crate training and she’s doing well with both. The picture is of her during her service work assessment.
Watch Rayna’s Video In this video, Rayna saw her littermates and started to run toward them, but changed her mind when I called her. She’s such a smart girl.
Rayna has a long “seal” coat that will look striking when she’s an adult. What’s Seal? Seal is a coloration that begins black and may change with age. These changes are normally seen around 2 years old but can be earlier. Some pups have minimal color change while others are more noticeable. Usually it’s a silvering or browning of the original color that can be found in some or all of the following areas: behind the hind legs, shoulders, behind the ears and around the eyes.
We can’t predict how a seal coat will turn out but it’s always fun to watch and I haven’t seen any of them that didn’t turn out stunning in the end.
