Q. & A. with Joshua

  • What makes your program special?

    At Von Gonzalez Kennel, our breeding program is built on quality—not quantity. Every breeding is carefully planned with the goal of producing German Shepherds that excel in health, temperament, structure, intelligence, and working ability. We select our breeding dogs based on proven bloodlines, sound genetics, stable temperaments, and correct conformation. Our focus is to preserve and improve the German Shepherd breed while producing dogs that are equally capable as loyal family companions, personal protection dogs, sport prospects, and working partners. Our puppies are raised in a hands-on environment where they receive daily care, socialization, and early enrichment to help them develop into confident, well-rounded dogs. We remain committed to our puppy families by providing guidance and support long after they take their puppy home. At Von Gonzalez Kennel, we don’t just breed puppies—we breed future family members with purpose, integrity, and a lifelong commitment to excellence.

  • 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, black, and black and red. 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.

Getting a puppy from Joshua

Joshua has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, Joshua partners with them to find the best puppy match.

“Our Puppy Matching Policy At Von Gonzalez Kennel, we believe every puppy deserves the right home. Rather than choosing solely by appearance, we carefully match each puppy based on your family’s lifestyle, experience, goals, and individual needs. Whether you’re looking for a loyal family companion, a personal protection prospect, a working dog, or an active adventure partner, we take the time to evaluate each puppy’s temperament, confidence, drive, and personality to help ensure the best possible match. Our priority is placing every puppy in a home where it can thrive and become a lifelong member of the family. This personalized matching process helps set both our puppies and their new families up for long-term success.”
