TOP GUN McNAB SHEPHERDS Kennels are in Marana, Arizona. We are proudly producing some of the most Athletic, well-adjusted and healthy dogs and puppies in the McNab Shepherd world. All of our parent dogs live with us and are considered our family and have free access to the house and property.
We take a lot of pride in our Kennel set-up, which consists of the nursery, an indoor extension of our house (aka an Arizona Room) which is climate-controlled for both the sizzling hot summer days and the cool winter nights ensuring comfort for our puppies all year round.
Also featured a wide variety of interactive toys, a Mama Bear (an overstuffed surrogate mother for the puppies when the mom dog is taking a break), various beds, crates and dog houses. The fully enclosed outdoor "Puppy Paradise" is a 40-foot-long x 18-foot-wide playground that is puppy accessible through a doggie door or various gates.
On the ground you’ll find 1" thick interlocking rubber Playground Tiles for the safety of the pups. There is also a puppy sized wading pool, Wobble boards, various slides, a 24”-Dia x 12-foot-long corrugated tunnel, a horse saddle mounted on a low base allowing them to climb up, play and learn to balance themselves on it, and there’s even a "puppy sized" Trampoline!!!
Our training facility features a birthing area that is located in the bedroom, where we can oversee the birthing process and observe the babies during their first week in existence. They are also handled multiple times every day from day one until you receive your puppy. We raise our puppies the right way, the way you would raise your own dog!
Another one, (of many) reasons we offer some of the most "well-bred and properly raised" McNab Shepherd puppies available today lies in the pre-natal care for your puppy even before they're born. Proper nutrition for the expecting mom is often overlooked by other breeders, but not here. Once we confirm our little girl is pregnant is fed one of the best over-the counter kibbles available, "Nulo Grain Free Puppy" ([https://nulo.com/.../medalseries-puppy-chicken-sweet-potato](https://nulo.com/.../medalseries-puppy-chicken-sweet...)) along with additional nutritional additives. It’s obviously working for the mom dogs as they retain their shiny coat luster throughout the birthing and nursing periods. The babies are introduced to Nulo Puppy Canned food at 5-weeks while transitioning from mom’s milk at about 6-weeks of age. ‘
All of our puppies are DNA tested using the Embark DNA and Health Panel, our Breeding stock has had their OFA's completed and every single one of them have passed with flying colors. As far as diversity goes, we only have one dog that shows a COI over 10% and the remainder showing all the way down to amazing 2%! The majority of our dogs are in the 7% to 4% range with all showing high diversity in their genes. No Inbreeding or line breeding will ever be acceptable in our lines.
You'll never find even a single strain of DCM2 (this is canine heart disease that can be potentially fatal) in any of our dogs! We’ve all heard the story, one strain is not going to affect the dog, but when you’re turning out multiple litters with multiple puppies showing one strain, it’s only a matter of time before something bad happens. Not going there, not now, not ever, always better safe than sorry. More than a few of our new puppy parents and made comments about coming back in their next life as a TOP GUN McNAB puppy!
