How we raise our puppies.  We are dedicated to producing stable, well-balanced German Shepherd puppies.  We utilize top German bloodlines known for producing good hips, even temperaments, and high trainability.  All of our breeding females have calm temperaments and strong maternal instincts.  We provide each of our dams with a stress-free environment, premium diet, regular exercise, and plenty of family interaction throughout pregnancy.  

Neonatal period.  All of our litters are born and raised in a home environment.  We consider the first few days to be mom's special time with her litter.  We keep the whelping room warm, comfortable, and relatively quiet during the first three days.  This gives our females time to recuperate and bond with their puppies.  We line our whelping box with large bath towels that are stitched together.  These towels provide good traction and since they are regularly washed, keep our pups clean and healthy.

We perform Early Neurological Stimulation from days 4 - 16.  ENS has important health benefits such as improved heart rates, increased stress tolerance, and improved disease resistance.  We also provide daily gentle handling throughout the first few weeks of our puppies' lives. 

Socialization period.  Once our puppies are approximately three weeks old, we begin providing regular environmental enrichment activities.  We systematically expose all of our puppies to new objects, flooring types, 'puppy challenges' and areas.  This type of environmental enrichment enhances intelligence, confidence, and learning.  

Our puppies are well-socialized with a variety of children and adults throughout their development.  We believe early socialization creates a solid foundation for future training.  To build on this foundation, we begin basic obedience training including 'sit', 'down', and lots of happy recalls.  Around five or six weeks of age, we will begin some tracking imprinting.  This simple activity increases a puppy's desire and willingness to track later in life.  

We formally temperament test our litters with the Volhard method at seven weeks of age.  We utilize the results of these tests (as well as our observations over the previous weeks) to determine which puppy is best suited for each home.

We are happy to help puppy buyers with early issues such as crate training, socialization, and potty training.  We then remain continually available to assist with anything from puppy kindergarten to advanced obedience.  We are committed to the welfare of our German Shepherds for their lifetimes.  So, if a client cannot keep a puppy or dog from Guardyan Kennels, we want them back.

In addition to lifelong support, each of our puppies arrive with the following:

AKC registration form

Four generation pedigree

Permanent identification (tattoo or microchip)

and a 25 month guarantee against hip or elbow dysplasia

We also provide an extensive puppy packet with information on puppy health, socialization, training, and a list of additional resources including books and online articles.

Please feel free to contact us if you would like additional information.  You can reach us via e-mail or by phone at (208) 357-2121.  We are very fond of each of our puppies and we want each of them to go to their "home for a lifetime".  So, if you contact us, please keep in mind that we would love to hear more about the type of home you would provide.  

Thank you!
