Hey there, So 4 years ago I set out to breed all-black, short-haired, working line Shepherds. The father's parents were imported from Czechoslovakia, and they do competitions. He is 100% black. The mother parents are from a work-line breed program that supplied K9 dogs, she is of "West German/American Working Line" descent. She is 100% black. I believe this to be a great outcrossing of GSD types. Both parents have beautiful straight backs. Both parents of my dogs were AKC registered, but I had no interest in filling out the forms or receiving the AKC paperwork, as one time I bought a shepherd pup from an AKC seller that had only one descended testicle, so the AKC registration was no guarantee of a good dog. The parents are very very well trained, they are my loving family dogs. They are highly driven, but can take long roadtrips and flights completely silent. In the house they are calm, respecting my possessions. They love the water, playing in the surf, hiking, and their toys. Both are very driven, very focused. I am very proud of these dogs. However, please understand the nature of working line Shepherds....they indeed will require a lot of work! The reward of these highly intelligent, loyal, and capable dogs is immense. Your new puppy will convey will Full Breeding Rights, In-Fact, I prefer the Pup only go to someone who will breed. My dogs have spent most of their life in nature, at the beach, and at parks. They are complimented on not only their beauty, but their behavior almost every time we leave the house. Onyx is one of 10 healthy, all-black puppies! I will keep (most likely) 2 females. I am in Oregon, I can do local pickup, or you are welcome to arrange courier service. Thanks!

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.
