A Few Tips For Anyone Looking To Buy A Pup
When looking to buy a pup – GSD in this instance, however I am sure you can use a similar framework.
Ensure that the breeder is happy to send you copies of the following
Parents Hip & Elbow Scores
Sires PD results
Parents DM test results
Parents DNA profiles
Parents Haemophilia results
Parents HUU results
Parents MDR1 results
Inbreed co-efficient of the pup
Inbreed co-efficient of the parents & grandparents
Ensure that when you visit, you are able to get in among the parents at play
Ensure that you are happy with the nature of the parents, the puppy itself, and the environment in which the dogs live…..if you are not walk away.
Ensure that your pup is vet checked and a document is provided, signed by the vet to detail what has been checked
Ensure that your pup has been wormed regularly and with what product and when
Ensure that your pup is micro chipped
Ensure that you have enough food to keep the pup on the same diet for at least the next 10 days
Ensure that you are provided with a receipt for your payment
Finally do not assume that the Kennel Club Registration means quality – it sadly does not.
Glebe Von Wood - Quality Breeders of German Shepherds
We breed from long & short coated, straight back, well natured, happy pets.
We ensure that all of our dogs are Hip Scored, Elbow Scored and DM Tested, parents are also checked for Haemophilia.
Our parents are quality GSD's that we urge you to come and meet - all of them.
We do not over-breed and we pride ourselves in the social interaction our dogs enjoy.
All pups produced by ourselves will not be effected by the genetic form of Degenerative Myopothy. (DM)
When we look at a pairing of parents, we ensure that the Inbreed Co-efficient is suitably low to increase the gene pool and minimise where possible health problems.
To back this up we are now providing a DNA Profile for all of our parents, via by Animal Genetics.
This will allow you to check on the parentage of your puppy again by using Animal Genetics.
As you would expect, puppies leave here at 8 weeks old, with their
1st Vaccination & Health Check
Micro-chipped
Wormed from 3 weeks of age
Reared on quality Food, which will leave with your puppy to include
2 x 2kg Of Pero Duck & Sweet Potato Kibble and a 10 pack box of Tripe.
You will also take away with you all relevant paperwork to include:
5 Generation Pedigree,
Kennel Club Certificate,
Sales Contract,
Health Check Sheet form our vets
Growth chart for the whole litter from 3 weeks of age

We breed for health and temperament and not for colour.
We do not interbreed and we do not use interbred GSD's to produce pups from
We are happy to keep pups longer than 8 weeks in addition to having them sent to various countries as long as we have met the future owners and that you in turn have met ourselves and your intended pups parents.
Pups will usually leave at a weekend, on or just after they are 8 weeks old.
Any additional days after the first weekend being 8 weeks old, will be charged at £35.00 per 24hrs - the same as our boarding rate.
If you are someone who is only wanting the unusual colours, should we ever produce them, you will be charged more for them.
If you may be interested in one of our pups……
Please e mail glebevonwood@yahoo.co.uk for a Prospective new Owner From to be e mailed over to you
Please return, ideally using WORD, so that you easily be copied and pasted onto our list
We will ensure that our website is as up to date as possible with planned litters and confirmed scans
We will ensure that we post on our facebook page any litter news, matings or confirmed pregnancies
We will e mail out to everyone on our list as a matter of routine every few months, in order to keep our list up to date and accurate.
Please do not worry if you have changed your mind or have found a little bundle from elsewhere.
If you have not received an e mail from me after a few months, give me a nudge…..I’m not perfect.
Anyone that does not reply back to our e mail within the given time period stated in the e mail, we will remove your details from our list.
When pups are born we will post on our facebook page
We will not contact anyone directly for a week, to allow mum and pups time to relax and bond.
After a week we will again be in touch by e mail to see if you are still interested and arrange a first visit at around 4 weeks old
It is at this 4 week old stage, that if you are happy with everything that we ask for a £500 none refundable deposit.
We strongly encourage prospective new owners to come and meet ourselves and our dogs before any pups are born and will regularly post set days for these sessions again on our facebook page.
All clients attending these sessions must have sent in a prospective new owner form.
For anyone that is thinking of having, has had or has a GSD, then this book is a real must.
