Q. & A. with Heidi
What makes your program special?
All of our dogs are our companions every day of the week and occasionally show dogs on the weekends. Our dogs are members of our family, live in our home with us, and have free run of the property. The parents and puppies are provided the best care including a premium diet and plenty of exercise. Our dogs are all fed a combination of top quality grain-free kibble, home cooked food, high quality moist food, and fresh bones.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Alexanderhof Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for German Shepherds.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
