Getting a puppy from Roberto
Roberto has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Roberto partners with them to find the best puppy match.
“We carefully match each puppy with the right owner based on temperament, energy level, and the buyer’s lifestyle and goals. Our priority is ensuring each puppy goes to a home where they can thrive long-term. Selections are made in order of deposit received, but final puppy assignments may be adjusted by us if needed to ensure the best fit for both the puppy and the buyer. We evaluate structure, temperament, and drive as puppies develop to make appropriate placements. Our goal is not just to sell puppies, but to place them responsibly in homes that match their needs for family life, protection, or working purposes.”
Price
“We offer German Shepherd puppies from health-tested parents. Female is AKC VA1 pedigree, male is CKC registered. Both parents are OFA tested for hips and elbows. Puppies are raised with early socialization and will be up to date on vaccinations and deworming before going home. We focus on health, structure, and temperament for family, protection, or working. Deposit is required to reserve and secure your puppy. This deposit guarantees your chosen puppy is held for you and removed from availability. The remaining balance is due at pickup.”

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.
Vet Wellness Exam
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.
