Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Larry
Larry has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $500 deposit and between $1,500 - $2,000 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“The price includes AKC registration, first round of vaccinations, deworming, and puppy socialisation. The deposit is refundable only if we are unable to provide the requested puppy. For example, if a client seeks a male companion puppy but only females are available, a refund will be issued. However, if a puppy of the requested quality and gender is available and the client chooses not to proceed with the purchase, the deposit is non-refundable.”
Contract & health guarantee
Larry may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Larry offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Larry directly.

About Ora
Ora is a female German Shepherd. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Larry decided to make her part of their program. Larry has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
Great health testing

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Sternenlicht Kennel 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).
