Meet Laura! 🐾 Laura is a beautiful sable German Shepherd Dog, born December 10, 2023. She is an intact female with full AKC registration and working dogs represented in her pedigree. Laura is an intelligent young German Shepherd with plenty of potential for the right person. Like her brother Kylo, she isn't necessarily the type of dog who immediately seeks attention and affection from everyone she meets. Instead, she appreciates having the opportunity to become comfortable with new people and situations at her own pace. For someone who enjoys working with German Shepherds and understands the value of building a relationship through patience, consistency, and trust, Laura has a lot to offer! A Little About Laura: - Breed: German Shepherd Dog - DOB: December 10, 2023 - Color: Sable - Sex: Intact Female - Registration: Full AKC Registration - Pedigree: Working ancestry represented in her lineage - Vaccinations: Bordetella current through October 10, 2027; Rabies current through October 2, 2028 Temperament & Training: Laura came to us with limited socialization and has been learning to become more comfortable navigating new environments, experiences, and interactions. She can initially be reserved around unfamiliar people and may need some time to develop trust. Once she begins to feel comfortable, her willingness to engage and learn becomes more apparent. Laura would benefit from continued socialization, confidence-building activities, and consistent, reward-based training. She is best suited for someone who understands that confidence develops through positive experiences rather than forcing interactions before a dog is ready. One of Laura's positive qualities is her ability to get along with other dogs. She has not demonstrated issues with male or female dogs, regardless of whether they are intact or altered. As with any dog, appropriate introductions and supervision are still recommended. Containment & Environmental Management: Laura is an athletic and physically capable German Shepherd who has demonstrated the ability to scale a six-foot fence. Because of this, a standard fenced yard should not be considered secure containment for her. Her future home will need to provide appropriate supervision and secure management when outdoors. This may include supervised leash walks, a properly fitted harness and long line, or other secure containment arrangements. We want her future family to be aware of this ability so they can provide a safe environment that allows her to enjoy outdoor activities without the risk of escaping. What We're Looking For: Laura's ideal home would be with someone who appreciates the German Shepherd breed and is willing to continue helping her develop into a confident, well-rounded companion. She would do best with an owner who: - Has experience with German Shepherds or similar working breeds. - Understands canine body language and respects a dog's individual comfort levels. - Is patient, consistent, and willing to continue her socialization and training. - Enjoys providing mental stimulation, physical exercise, and opportunities for learning. - Can provide appropriate outdoor supervision and secure containment. - Recognizes that building trust and developing a relationship takes time. Our canine program is increasingly focused on specific working disciplines, sports, and performance goals. While Laura has many qualities we appreciate, we believe she deserves an opportunity with someone who can dedicate the time and attention to developing her individual strengths and helping her reach her full potential. Laura is not being represented as a finished working dog or a fully socialized family companion. She is a young German Shepherd who still has room to grow, learn, and develop, and we want to find someone who appreciates her for who she is today. For someone willing to invest in building a relationship with her, Laura has the potential to become a wonderful and rewarding companion. IMPORTANT: Messages through this platform are NOT checked regularly. Please contact us via TEXT MESSAGE for additional information or to discuss whether Laura may be a good fit for your home. Thank you! Ownership & Placement Information: We are the legal owners of this dog and have full authority to make placement decisions. There are no breeder contracts, co-ownership agreements, or return-to-breeder obligations restricting rehoming or transfer of ownership. This dog is being placed with our full knowledge and consent, and applicable AKC registration paperwork will be provided according to the terms of the placement agreement.

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
See Full Guide Here

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.
