One that will love and take care of my family, my kids and my home. Which german shepherd dog is best for me – which German Shepherd Breeders is best for me ?

You came to the right place! German Shepherds are intelligent dogs and need family attention, training, exercise and love. Omega Shepherds puppies are born in the house, right next to the bed. They are first greeted by mom, then two young kids that love puppies. They are handled daily by a 2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old baby – which are of course supervised by adults. The first thing they see and hear is humans, kids, and home noises.
German Shepherd Puppies need daily socialization by humans as well as different situations – Omega Shepherd puppies go for daily walks, are in the home daily and started in house breaking. They have many toys to choose “their favorites” and are exposed to different people as we take them every where we can.

A good breeder not only makes sure their puppies are socialized and well taken care of. The work goes way back from the time they choose the mom and dad. Which bloodlines will make the best possible puppies. The adults should have training, be a part of the family, socialized well adjusted adults as the puppies pick up on their moms attitude. They should have appropriate health testing.

All puppies should be current on shots and worming and come guaranteed. Omega Shepherds is so confident in their dogs and puppies they offer a 100% written satisfaction guarantee. A good breeder should stand behind their puppies.

Preferably you can pick a puppy up from the breeder and see the parents. If however you have to have the puppy flown that is fine but the breeder should at least be willing to let you come if you want to.

German Shepherd Breeder facilities should be clean. Parents and puppies should smell fresh, look clean and have bright happy eyes. A well socialized puppy with a good temperament should come running up to greet you – or at least their “human parent”.

I feel it is very important that the adult dogs are first a foremost family and working dogs – then breeding dogs.
