CROPPING ANSWER: I will need to know if you are planning to
show your dog in conformation because if not, you should consider leaving the
ears natural. Cropping involves a large commitment of time from the dog owner as
well as some cost. Cropping can be done for show purposes, however even for conformation showing it is not required, and in some countries, owners are prohibited from showing a dog that has been cropped. You can
certainly crop a pet/performance GP's ears, however you need to be
aware that it is a somewhat painful procedure for the puppy and you may be
posting and taping for several months depending on how quickly the
cartilage sets up. If you don't understand these terms, please email me and we can discuss the issues. Unless a buyer has some other preference, I will be cropping the show prospect puppies at 9
weeks of age and keeping them until they are a minimum of 10
weeks to ensure the crop is healing correctly. The tails are docked
and dewclaws removed on all puppies at 3 days old.
MICROCHIP & VACCINE ANSWER: The puppy will be micro
chipped with first shots and parasite free. The health certificate is
required for shipping purposes and Rabies Vaccine is not given until
12 weeks of age so if you are not driving to pick up the puppy you will
need to wait until he or she is 12 weeks old before getting her shipped to
you.
Below is a link to the current vaccine recommendation schedule for
most dogs. My Papillons do not get Rabies vaccine until 16 weeks of
age and only get half doses of all other vaccines due to their weight.
Vaccines are important and must be given but care must be taken on
the schedule and doses to minimize risk to the dogs. Depending on
the area you live in will depend on which non-core vaccines your
puppy receives. You will also need to protect against Heartworm if
you live in an area where Heartworm is present.

PEDIGREE, PAPERS AND CONTRACT ANSWERS:
The puppy will come with a 3-generation pedigree and will be
registered with AKC so you will receive the registration paperwork to
transfer him/her into your name once you provide proof that he/she
has been spayed (pet puppy) or immediately if you purchase a show
prospect. I have a contract that I will be happy to send to you once
you let me know whether you are planning to purchase a pet or show
prospect.
How many litters do you have a year? This is our first German Pinscher litter. I show Papillons and have
bred three litters of Paps over the last 9 years as I only breed when I
want a new show prospect. We bred Bahn so my husband who
shows the GP's can hopefully get a nice male show dog to continue
showing in conformation. Bahn will now be in the Performance rings
working Agility, Obedience and Tracking.
Have the parents ever had any health problems? Neither Lukas
nor Bahn have had any health issues and both have CHIC
certificates with all the required health testing done on both parents. I
recommend a yearly teeth cleaning on all dogs which helps keep
them in good health.
Are you a member of the German Pinscher Club of America and
if so for how long?
Yes, I became a member in 2009 and attended the National Specialty
and GPCA Meeting in Kansas. I have been a member of the Papillon
Club of America for 8 years as well as the Papillon Club of Puget
Sound for the past 6 years. We are currently members of the
Hurricane Ridge Kennel Club and actively participate in the shows as
ring stewards, assisting with course layout and club events.
How tall are the parents of this litter?
Lukas is 20" tall and Bahn is 18" tall. Both are square dogs that
conform to the German Pinscher Standard extremely well.
What is the purchase price for one of your beautiful puppies?
A show prospect puppy is $2,000.00 and a pet puppy is $1500.00 (no
ear cropping included on pets unless special arrangments are made. )
