Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
This is a long time planned and anticipated litter. I am not an ongoing breeder producing multiple litters. This will be Laleh Ziba's only litter which makes these pups extra special and adored.What makes your program special?
These puppies have been showered with so much love and attention from the moment they were born to help them grow into their full confidence and potential. I believe the best nutrition for dogs is real meat and they have been fed a 100% homemade raw meat diet. They are socialized with inside/outside adventures, loud noises, car rides, children, cats and more. They have not been raised in a kennel.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Laleh Ziba
Laleh is the sweetest girl full of kisses for everyone. She is very calm and observant. I trained her to be a lover to everyone and not a guard dog and she is exactly what I asked of her. She has always been right by my side with full attention even without a leash as a puppy. She is a unique intuitive German Shepherd who's favorite place in life is right by my side.

Great level
Faith 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 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.
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.
DNA Disease Panel, 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).
