Meet the breeder

I'm Alexander G., the breeder behind Von Gonta Haus German Shepherds located in Jersey City, NJ. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament, with a focus on working drives, athleticism, and intelligence. We are dedicated to proving families wonderful, social and balanced dogs, with good genetics from top European working kennels that will be wonderful healthy pets.

Q. & A. with Alexander

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My goal was to always breed the kinds of dogs I myself would enjoy owning. Being involved in the sport of Schutzhund in the early 2000s, I realized how hard it is to get a good GSD in the U.S. Having the over-angulated rear of the A.S.L, or the roach back of the WG Showlines, or the lack of working ability. So I decide to breed what I was looking for: sensible dogs with working tempers.
  • What makes your program special?

    I use imported dogs from famous German and Dutch kennels with a proven record in the sport of IPO and K.N.P.V. I also follow the super dog puppy program of puppy enrichment.
  • 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.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Von Gonta Haus 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.

  • 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).

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
