****************************
Nationwide Delivery Is Now Available
****************************
The babies born here we feel are our responsibility for their entire life. And we know that unexpected things can happen in life. Therefore we ask that each of our puppy families please contact us first, if it becomes necessary for one of our babies to have a new home. Please give us the opportunity to find a new family for them. We want only the very best life possible for each of our little ones.
#################
our babies do not go to their new families until they are at least 8 to 10 weeks old or older. this is to insure the baby is more mature and that their immune systems are more developed. Please do not ask to take a baby home any earlier then 8 weeks at the youngest. this reduces the compounding of stress from weaning and the move to their new home at the same time .
I have been breeding, showing and picking German Shepherds for 50+ years, we pick the best of color, size, personality, movement etc. Then we pick the puppies out and deliver them in the order that they were reserved. If there are any babies left in a litter, at 10 weeks, then other families are welcome to choose a baby.
of course the best way to get the best baby for you, is to reserve one as soon as you see the parents that you love.
Remember all of the German Shepherd babies are born mostly black and they color out for a year, to a year and a half of age. They will be no lighter then the lightest parent and no darker then the darkest parent. They will most often be somewhere in the middle.
All puppies will have been wormed at least three times, and will have had their shots at 5-6-&8 Weeks.
and their first monthly flea medication,
All babies go to their new home, with a small bag of their dog food. We recommend: any quality food with out corn as a primary ingredient. Tractor Supply Stores have Diamond brand, chicken and rice, that we highly recommend. Also Taste Of The Wild, and Blue Buffalo dog foods are very good quality, with little to no grain.
Please do not change the babies' food for at least 6 weeks.
This gives the baby time to adjust to their new home with as little change as possible. Please use a very highly digestible food that provides superior nutrition for your baby as he grows.
Your baby has been "free" fed all of his life. He has never been with out food available.
By free feeding the puppies they should never be food possessive, get fat or over eat.
**************************************
All babies will have had a shampoo and will have been groomed before they meet their new families.
We Recomend Mane and Tail, shampoo. It is available at Tractor Supply.
puppies come with their Pedigree (their family tree) and their AKC Registration papers.
All of our babies are sold with full registrations As family pets and are not guaranteed against any show disqualifying faults.
We are very proud of our bloodlines, that we have developed, and welcome other families to enjoy beautiful babies if they wish to breed. but we do not guarantee our babies to breed or to be of breeding quality.
They are quality family pets and protectors, first and foremost.
An information packet is also included on how we house break (SEE BELOW), how and what we feed and how we suggest naming your new friend.
we ask our families to please add our ("AlphaTex") Kennel name with the call name of the puppy as their registered name. of course no one is required to do this but we would appreciate it.
For an example of the registered name of a German Shepherd baby might be:
AlphaTex's Sammy Von Robertshaus
This means he was born at AlphaTex Kennels,
his name is Sammy and he lives at the house of the Roberts family.
The sales contract and our guarantee to you are also included in their packet. It includes a 2 year replacement warranty against chronic, severe, Hip or Elbow Dysplasia.
Families that purchase our babies also agree to always provide adequate high quality food (little Grain),
plentiful clean water, proper training, and health care. Also every family must promise to:
"Spoil their baby profusely".
and they also agree to keep their babies in the house, in a fenced yard, or on a leash at all times.
And to "NEVER" chain, abuse or allow the dog to run free unsupervised.
************************
Micro chips are available for your baby for an additional, $25 fee.
Our families can charge the purchase of their puppy on Visa or MasterCard, from here on the web-site..
On the Pay Online, Page.

*******************************
Housebreaking
An excellent trainer told us many years ago how he recommends housebreaking
and it has worked wonderfully for us and our puppy families over the years.
First we train them to sleep beside the bed of the primary care giver.
They are never in a crate or in another room away from their people. This keeps the stress of a new home to a minimum.
Make their bed (on the Floor) beside the head of the bed.
Their bed can be nothing more then an old blanket folded into 1/4ths or a purchased Dog Bed or what ever.
Fit the puppy with a nylon collar that fits snuggly.
then attach a chain leash (it must be chain to prevent chewing) to the head of the bed.
Make it just long enough to make the puppy stay on the bed.
Take the puppy outside after it eats, after every nap and just before bedtime.
When you go to bed take the baby out one last time and then go to bed with him.
attach him to his chain. If he cries or frets just reach down and pet him
and reassure him that you are right there and he is fine.
{Never be suckered into letting him sleep on the bed}.
During the night when you hear the chain rattle
take him outside immediately and then back to bed and snapped back on the chain.
In two or three weeks he should be completely housebroken
and will sleep right by your bed for the rest of his life.

A New Puppy in the House
Food:
Diamond Brand Puppy- From
Tractor Supply
{Please do not change their food}
We will bring a little bag of food with your baby, she is eating Diamond Brand, Puppy food, from Tractor Supply.
Please do change her food.
As far as feeding, we always keep fresh dry food
out for them all the time, so they just eat anytime they want.
And then we feed them two small meals a day warm wet, with a little of the dry milk replacer,
feed just enough that she cleans it all up each
time.
Worming:
{This is just a preventative wormer that we
give every baby when it leaves}
There
are 2 syringes, give your baby 1cc (Yellow} & 2cc (White) a day, until it’s all
gone.
“Just squirt it in the back of its mouth.”
It tastes good to them, so they don’t really seem
to mind.
Shots:
As far as the remaining shots, we recommend 3
more sets, every two weeks, until they are 14 weeks old.
Also we highly recommend giving them to him/her yourself,
(or if you are not comfortable doing it your
self, hopefully you know someone who can),
you can buy the shots at Tractor Supply,
We recommend (5-Way
Canine).
We never recommend taking a well puppy to the
vet’s office.
Sick puppies go to the vet’s office and that is
where well puppies often get sick.
Stress:
Stress is the one thing that babies deal with, with a change. They are missing their family and mommy.
They may sleep a lot, may want to be cuddled all
the time, they may cry, or they may want to be left alone and pout.
The one thing they almost all do is have terrible diarrhea.
We enclose a few the of little green anti-diarrhea pills, for every baby.
When it happens give them one pill every twelve hours until it stops.
If you need more, you can get them at the Dollar
store. They are just generic Imodium, anti-diarrhea pills.
If your new baby is not feeling well, when he first gets home.
It is very likely stress related.
Call or Text Mark at (806) 292-7445
Please do not take your baby to the vet until you have called Mark, for his advice.
Over the years we have seen almost all Stress related problems,
of newly weaned babies.
Sorry but we cannot be responsible for any vet bills, if
we are not notified before it is taken to the vet.
MicroChips:
If we micro chipped your baby for you:
Make sure to go online immediately and register his chip number to you.
Toys:
Your baby only needs 3 toys, for the first few months.
He needs a hard rubber ball, {not a tennis ball}, He needs a big Rawhide chew bone, {to help with teething},
and a Fuzzy cuddle toy, to sleep with.
Too many toys will confuse him, and he may think that anything on the floor is his toy,
ie. shoes, clothes, and the children’s toys.
An excellent trainer told us many years ago how he recommends housebreaking and
it has worked wonderfully for us and our puppy families over the years.
First we train them to sleep beside the bed of the primary care giver.
They are never in a crate or in another room away from their people.
This keeps the stress of a new home to a minimum.
Make their bed (on the Floor) beside the head of the bed.
Their bed can be nothing more than an old blanket folded into 1/4ths
or a purchased Dog Bed or whatever.

Then attach a chain leash (it must be chain to prevent chewing) to the head of the bed.

When you go to bed, take the baby out one last time and then go to bed with him
and attach him to his chain. If he cries or frets just reach down and
Pet
him and reassure him that you are right there and he is fine.
{Never be suckered into letting him sleep on the bed}.
During the night when you hear the chain rattle,
take him outside immediately and then back to bed and snapped back on the
chain.
In two or three weeks he should be completely housebroken and
will sleep right by your bed for the rest of his life.
Please let us know if we can help you select your next
"fur Family" member.

Questions and Answers
here are a few frequently asked questions and our answers:
We hope this helps with your decision:
always do your homework up front, because this is hopefully a 10-12 year commitment. But I have been showing, breeding and training German Shepherds for over 50 years, and of course I think they are the best breed of all. They are very loyal and they bond to one person for life. They love and protect the whole family. But only one person is their God. and they want to be with that person all the time.
What is the difference in
West German, American or Eastern European,
bloodlines ?
West Germans are usually more driven and more protective and better mothers then the American lines . But Eastern European are even more driven and active then the West German. we have found the little West German females to be much better mothers then the larger Eastern European, or American females. We have found that Full bred Eastern European GSDs are better left for the military, law enforcement, or professional trainers. In the past they have shown that they are usually too driven for most families to enjoy fully.
You can not beat an American GSD for beauty, movement and loving temperament. So we like a little American blood in the European to calm that temperament down a little, and help them have better fluid movement and angulation.
So they will take the nap with the children, still chase the burglar and still be beautiful doing it all.
What if my GSD baby's ears haven't come up?
Yes it is normal for some ears to be slow coming
up. Actually the larger their ears are going to be the slower they will be
coming up. But they will come up eventually, but it is a trying , but very
cute time until they do. After they are 6 months of age if they are still
having ear issues. There is a very easy way to help them to stay up. Go to
Tractor Supply type store and buy a glue call Tear
Mend, it is an upholstery glue, for gluing leather. Put a little dab on
the top inside tip of both ears. Just to the inside between the ears. Put it on
both tips and put them together very briefly to spread the glue out on both
and then pull them apart for a second then line them up tip to tip and press
them together very quickly. this glues the weaker ear to the stronger ear
and will form a little T-Pee on the top of their head. they will look funny
but when it comes apart the ears should stand fine. If not repeat the
procedure until it stiffens up.
Another thing when they are teething at about three to four mos. of age and their teeth hurt so bad they could care less about thinking about their ears. Make sure they have a big hard raw hide bone to chew on. That helps their mouth feel better. as soon as they are through with teething, their ears will come up for life.
