We take our breeding program very seriously here at SimCar. We take great care in choosing breeding pairs, and researching sires to breed to our dams. Both the sire and the dam must have completed their AKC Championship in conformation, or are working to complete their championship. Both Sire and Dam must have certified their Hip and Elbow X-rays with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, aka OFA, or other official certification group.
Even though we concentrate on Conformation showing for our dogs, we do believe in the total dog that can perform in other venues, such as Herding, Obedience, Agility, Nosework, Tracking and Therapy work. We have placed dogs with owners who are involved in many of the activities just mentioned. German Shepherd Dogs need a job!
Puppies at SimCar are raised one litter at a time, with high levels of interaction with kids, other dogs and the occasional kitty lesson, to ensure good socialization building blocks when released to their new owners.
Puppies are released after 9 weeks of age, ensuring good socialization with siblings and life lessons with their dam.
They are wormed 3 times and are given their basic first set of puppy shots before release.
Is a German Shepherd Dog the right dog for you? We hope that potential puppy buyers have just as many questions of us as we have for them!
Please take the time to answer these questions. Copy and paste the questions and answers to an email as part of your introduction to us, so that we can help you determine if the German Shepherd Dog is the right dog for you!
1. Why a German Shepherd Dog?
2. Have you owned, or currently own a GSD? If so, please give us some additional information regarding your dog, such as age, sex, where you got your dog from, etc.
3. Do you want a male or female, or do you not have a preference?
4. What are your living arrangements? Do you own or rent?
5. Do you have a fenced yard, or kennel for your dog?
6. Who lives in your home that will be around the dog consistently? This includes adults, children, nannies, or housekeepers.
7. What would a typical day look like for the dog at home?
8. Do you plan to attend obedience classes and/or puppy socialization classes? Early socialization and interaction with others is vital to the proper socialization of your growing puppy! We can help you get set up with classes in the MN/Wis. area if local, or refer you to people who can help outside of our area. As members of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, we have connections across the country!
9. Are you interested in dog shows/conformation, performance events such as herding, tracking, obedience, agility, nose work or therapy work? We can help connect you to these opportunities, as well as membership with the German Shepherd Dog Club of Minneapolis & St. Paul and the German Shepherd Dog Club of America.
10. Where do you live? We prefer pickup from our location.
11. Do you need boarding? We have limited boarding available at the kennel. Dependent upon your location, we can recommend boarding facilities near you.
Once we have corresponded via email and then phone, we can arrange a date to visit the kennel, where you meet our dogs and puppies and learn more about what we do here at SimCar. We love visits, especially during puppy time as it is part of their socialization. Families with children must bring the kids along so that we can give the puppies some valuable kid time. We have rules that need to be followed by visitors, adults and kids alike, and we will instruct visitors upon arrival.
Our relationship with the puppy owner begins with the visit and the release of the puppy to their new home. We encourage open communication, via email, Facebook and phone to stay in touch with new owners and established owners. Questions are always welcome, and we want the best for our pups in their forever homes.
