Q. & A. with Christine

  • What makes your program special?

    Each baby gets individual attention every day from birth until they go home. We use the puppy culture program. I encourage video calls, and have a facebook group for my puppy parents to watch all the babies grow, to seek advice and share stories. Once you join the pack, I am here to help any way I can, for the life of your furbaby. You and your baby will always be family.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Divine German Shepherds 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).

    Christine was wonderful to work with, constantly staying in touch and providing so much information. Our Athena is beyond perfect! It was a smooth process bringing her home and Christine went above and beyond for us. Athena is fitting in wonderfully in her new home and we are so thankful for the chance to work with Christine!

    Best experience with a breeder I’ve ever had. Never had a German Shepherd before and she was extremely happy to explain a lot about the breed and making sure her babies had the best homes. She was honest with every part, and super accommodating! We look forward to this beautiful baby growing up with our family!

    Happiness and smiles all around! Christine was wonderful and so knowledgeable about the breed. She was very responsive and informative with everything. She truly cares about the pack and the wellbeing of the pups. I would 100% recommend Christine with Divine German Shepherd’s if you are looking for your forever long haired GSD friend. Thanks Christine - Cameron and Veeva Freeman ❤️
