Climbing Rose Farm & Kennels

Vivian J.

Breeder of German Shepherds

Meet the breeder

I'm Vivian J., the breeder behind Climbing Rose Farm & Kennels located in Tuttle, OK. Breeding dogs are in my home with me, as well as any litters of puppies. Sire and dam have been cleared medically and no breeding is done until hips and elbows are checked. I mostly breed with an eye towards working dogs, and my pups have gone into law enforcement, search & rescue/recovery. medical assistance, and protection. I also offer training in obedience, search & recovery (cadaver dogs), and mobility assistance.

Q. & A. with Vivian

    I saw a need for quality puppies at an affordable price.
  • What makes your program special?

    I breed for good working dogs that are also comfortable in a home setting.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Climbing Rose Farm & 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.

  • Temperament Test

    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).
