Q. & A. with Calvin

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My passion for dogs and the German Shepherd breed inspired me to start my program, and I wanted to put my passion to good use. Breeding and training healthy, happy, obedient puppies is my way to give back. I want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine.
  • What makes your program special?

    I strive to produce excellence in all areas of my work. I am dedicated to my dogs and work with integrity, passion, and drive. Health and temperament is one of my main priorities to ensure dogs have long, successful lives with their families.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

Vom Jazzigen Haus 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.
