What Is Included With Every Puppy
Every Von Ark puppy is raised with intentional early development designed to help create confident, adaptable and well-prepared German Shepherds.
Early Neurological Stimulation
Age-appropriate ENS exercises are incorporated during early development.
Socialization
Puppies experience daily handling, new surfaces, sounds, environments and age-appropriate challenges.
Potty Foundation
Puppies are introduced to structured potty routines before leaving our program.
Crate Introduction
Early kennel and crate exposure helps create a smoother transition into the puppy's new home.
Temperament Evaluation
Puppies are evaluated around six weeks to help us understand confidence, engagement, energy and individual temperament.
Health & Records
Puppies leave with age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, veterinary examination, records and applicable AKC paperwork.
THE RIGHT MATCH
Puppy Selection & Matching
We believe choosing a puppy should involve more than selecting a color or choosing from a photograph.
Around six weeks of age we begin evaluating each puppy's individual temperament, confidence, drive, engagement and energy level.
These evaluations help us guide each family toward a puppy whose personality and potential best complement their lifestyle, experience and goals.
Registration & Breeding Rights +
Limited Registration puppies are placed as companions without breeding rights.
Full Registration may be available on select Gold-Tier puppies to approved homes and provides breeding rights.
Von Ark Breeding Incentive Program +
Select puppies and owners may be invited to participate in the Von Ark Breeding Incentive Program.
This program is designed for exceptional puppies whose owners are interested in pursuing appropriate health testing, training, showing and titles.
When an approved dog develops into a strong representative of the breed, Von Ark may have the opportunity to utilize that dog within our future breeding program while providing incentives back to the owner.
Early Socialization & Development +
Our puppy development program begins long before go-home day.
Puppies receive daily handling, body and grooming exposure, environmental socialization, confidence-building exercises, crate introduction and structured potty development.
Our goal is not to send families home with a completely trained eight-week-old puppy. Our goal is to establish the foundation that makes continued training easier and more successful.
Payments & Deposits +
Reservation deposits secure placement within a litter and are applied toward the puppy's total purchase price.
