IF INTERESTED IN ONE OF OUR PUPPIES, PLEASE COMPLETE THE PUPPY ENQUIRY QUESTIONAIRE BELOW OR RING DENISE TO DISCUSS 

Thank you  for your enquiry regarding Lawine German Shepherd Dogs.

We are conscientious breeders who participate actively in the German Shepherd Dog League New South Wales.

We breed approximately one or two litters per year to produce what we believe to be quality German Shepherds that conform to the breed standard.

We take pride in our stock and always strive for the correct balance of Temperament, Soundness and Construction.

We follow the German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia breed improvement schemes for Breed Survey, Hip & Elbow X-rays, Haemophilia Testing and Tattooing.

Our dogs are much loved and valued companions.

When we have litters, we make sure our puppies are entrusted to loving committed homes. We do our best to screen new owners to ensure the best match between puppy and buyer that we can arrange.

As much as possible we attempt to evaluate the personality of puppies by observing them during their development. We then attempt to match the appropriate puppy to his or her new family. For this reason you may not be allowed to pick your puppy from an entire litter. After an extensive inquiry into your life style and home arrangements, you may be given two or three puppies to choose from. We do this to insure the likelihood of a fulfilling and rewarding relationship with your new puppy.

Before any puppy leaves our home, it has been loved, cared for and socialised. Even so the puppy does not leave our kennels as a finished product. We, as breeders, have done our part; it is then up to the new family to continue with the puppy’s development. The new family bears a very great responsibility to continue the puppy’s development through structured training, discipline and love. To help achieve this, we ask the family to become involved in the German Shepherd Dog League training activities, which are held at branches throughout New South Wales.

Find out as much about German Shepherd Dogs by reading, by utilising the internet i.e visiting GSD websites (some of which are on our links page), etc.

We make every effort to ensure that our puppies are free from inherited defects, by screening perspective breeding stock for those problems common to our breed. However due to complex genetic interactions and environmental factors beyond our control, we cannot guarantee that a puppy purchased from us will be free of genetic disorders. If the puppy should develop Hip/Elbow problems in the first twelve months, which render the puppy/dog incapacitated and unable to carry on a normal life, we will agree to replace the puppy with one of equal value from their next available litter, provided this is thought to be caused by defect, and not through injuries caused by accident or negligence.

This must be confirmed by examination of X-ray plates by our vet, or the GSCDA's readers Dr Lavelle or Profesor Wyburn. For their contact details email or telephone me.

The majority of homes that our puppies go to wish to spay their pet and we fully condone that action.  However, we do not recommend that you desex your pet before 12 months of age.  Research has shown that by desexing too early can cause problem to the health of the animal.  Our policy is to desex around 12 months of age.  For more information please read the following article: www.caninesports.com/SpayNeuter.html
