Bluey is an 8‑week‑old black and tan 10lb purebred German Shepherd show line puppy that is expected to be medium to long haired. He received his first vet‑administered vaccinations on 08/07, a full health exam, negative fecal, and was dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. His parents are registered, but he is being offered as a pet‑only companion and will not come with AKC papers. He comes with a health certificate from the vet. The parents are on site and the sire has Embark genetic testing and DM clear. Raised indoors with lots of love. Bluey is a very smart boy that will thrive when he is given jobs and challenging training tasks. He has a low-medium energy level so he would do best with an engaged semi active family as he is very smart and will need mental stimulation such as slow feeder toys and snuffle items. He’s an affectionate puppy who loves soft squeaker toys, socks, belly rubs, empty water bottles and chew bones. He is mostly pee pad trained and has starting pottying outdoors on fake grass. Raised primarily inside, he is still learning about outdoor experiences like rain, thunder, and fireworks, but he adapts quickly and is already doing great. He is getting used to the vacuum as well. He is timid some still outdoors but will chase you around inside the house. He’s comfortable around other dogs, children, and cats, and he behaves very well on car rides and with bath time. He is playpen/crate trained but he is working on being without his siblings for short periods. With his medium‑to‑long coat and undercoat he needs to be a house pet to avoid high outdoor heat. He enjoys sleeping in front of a fan. Puppy goes home with a personalized bag with some familiar items, toys, blanket and a few days of the current kibble used.

Frequently Asked Questions
About German Shepherd Dog Puppies

What is a German Shepherd Dog like?
With a star-studded history and loving yet protective personality, it’s easy to understand why German Shepherd Dogs are one of the most popular breeds around. These pups possess the perfect blend of gentle love and fierce watchfulness. As long as you’re safe and content, they will be too. Full-grown, they typically weigh 50-90 pounds and stand 22-26 inches tall.
How are German Shepherd Dogs with other pets?
German Shepherd Dogs are generally excellent with children of all ages. German Shepherd Dogs are ultra territorial, making them among the least likely of breeds to run away from a fight. German Shepherds get along fine with children and other animals, as long as they’ve been socialized, and they prefer to live in a home with family around. They're moderate barkers — they'll alert you when something's up but aren't excessive.
Do German Shepherd Dogs need a lot of physical activity?
German Shepherd Dogs are happiest when they’re doing some type of work, such as agility, obedience, or any activity that taps into their herding instincts. This breed enjoys helping and having a job to do, so they're often used as guide dogs and police dogs. No matter what the activity is, be sure to keep your German Shepherd busy with mental and physical activities to prevent boredom. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.
Are German Shepherd Dogs high-maintenance when it comes to grooming?
There are three varieties of German Shepherds: coarse and short-haired, coarse and long-haired, and wavy and long-haired. The most common dogs are tan with a black back and mask, but German Shepherds come in a variety of colors, including solid black, grey, brown, and yellow, tricolor, or sable. They also have several kinds of markings, such as “pencilling” (black lines on the toes) and “tar heels” (black on the back of the leg). Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
What should first-time owners know about German Shepherd Dogs?
German Shepherd Dogs are best suited for a home with a yard, though they can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise. German Shepherds get along fine with children and other animals, as long as they’ve been socialized, and they prefer to live in a home with family around. However, they don’t enjoy being with other dogs and would prefer to have the house to themselves. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.

Puppy Buyer's FAQ

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
