As a boutique breeder, we dedicate ourselves to nurturing family-friendly companions while contributing positively to the breed's legacy. At Moonlight Shepherds, every dog is cherished as a family member, flourishing within the warmth of our home. We ensure our puppies are well-socialized, introducing them to a kaleidoscope of sounds, sights, and scents, all while enveloping them in affection and
gentle care. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our adherence to AKC standards and thorough embark testing to verify our dogs' distinguished lineage. Our dam (female) boasts an exotic heritage, marked by the C1 lineage with roots stretching to Croatia and Peru. Our sire, carrying the H1a.15 haplotype, descends from the renowned A1a lineage, known for its global journey and proliferation across continents, with origins anchored in Germany. Health and well-being are paramount at Moonlight Shepherds. Our dogs undergo comprehensive Embark Health testing, ensuring they are free from over 274 genetic diseases. Our esteemed female is both OFA and PennHip certified, proudly holding titles such as CGC (Canine Good Citizen), CGCA (Community Canine Title), CGCU (AKC Urban Canine Good Citizen), and the AKC Trick Dog Novice Title, showcasing her versatility and intelligence. Our meticulous care extends to our puppies, who receive a thorough de-worming schedule at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks, alongside all recommended vaccinations. Each puppy is provided with a health certificate, a bill of sale, and AKC registration papers, ensuring a seamless transition into their new homes. This current litter features six robust males and two graceful females, adorned in classic black and rich black and tan coats. These future companions will be ready to embark on life's adventures with their new families starting the second week of October 2024
