Raising a German Shepherd Puppy
by Golden Ridge's standards
Genetics
We believe even though we love all German Shepherds that not all are able to provide the required traits to provide the next generation. We have a set of standards just as they do in Germany that we require our breeding stock to excel in. The most important traits we focus on is the dogs temperament & clear mind. The importance of a mother's clear mind & comfort is imprinted onto their young.
Environment
Our puppies are raised with our family in our home. Litters are started in a private quiet room with vet bedding as they grow move to puppy areas designed for their well being with special bedding & flooring. Each litter is litterbox trained not just to keep everything clean but with mindfulness that is positive for their health & house breaking.
Enrichment
The curriculum is designed to foster the development of a healthy, confident, and happy dog while enhancing the human bond. It emphasizes enrichment and socialization skills during the puppy’s initial eight weeks and beyond. Temperament assessments for each individual puppy to ensure optimal placement. These foundational elements are crucial for raising German Shepherds to realize their full potential.
