German Shepherd puppies in Virginia
This is the official AKC litter certification for Jane’s and Cash’s litter born 2/6/2021. It is also posted on the Pedigree page, which you can find by selecting Menu. Other pedigrees on that page show dogs further back in ancestry. Note that the litter certificate does not include titles such as “Champion”, nor does it give OFA or DM info. You can find that information on the Pedigree page.
Jane looks so relaxed in this video. The puppies are all over her, and she is totally ok with it. She uses the opportunity to gently bite their noses so they know when to be gentle with her, as she is with them. I love her expression. To me, it is an expression of contentment and love for her puppies.
Some people came by to just pet, others as potential new owners. The puppies loved it, and got to interact with more people and play with toys!
Sandy and Bob from Maryland are sure they want a girl, so here are all the girls!
Only 9 are visible in this video. The other 2 are asleep under the bush. I don’t know how she does it! She is SOOO PATIENT! Beautiful day today, even though the weatherman said cold and rainy!
Lots of people came by to see the puppies! Thank you to everyone who offered love and affection to all the puppies! The adult dogs in the pics are (grandma) Nellie and (brother) Winston. German Shepherds puppies in all stages of development need lots of socialization with many people to avoid problems in the future like aggression or shyness. You can be sure that Shepherd Sight puppies have been well socialized, but new owners must be sure to continue the socialization process with people and potential environmental stressors. Puppies are still available from this litter. Contact form at bottom of page.
German Shepherd puppies reach certain milestones as they mature, and it is exciting to watch. In some of these photos, you can see the pups “piling up”, but they are starting to have a little independence, seek out people, and play with toys. They certainly continue to enjoy being held and loved during their now mostly outdoor socialization sessions with neighbors, friends, and potential buyers. In these pics, the puppies are between 4 and 5 weeks old.
And that last pic? My neighbor, Kendall, took it! It is a really good pic, and I’m mad that she and her sister shoot better than I do! No, really, not mad! I am truly grateful for all my great neighbors who help me so much. That’s Gail, another neighbor, in the green shirt in the first two pics. She is amazing and helps me with the puppies, and even the adult dogs. Winston adores her.
Lots of breeders don’t name their puppies. They just refer to them by color of the collar worn specifically for the purpose of identification. But I gotta be me. I name them for something near and dear to my heart. So I chose a horse theme for this litter! Introducing, in no particular order, except boys first, Pony, Mustang, Quarter (Quarterhorse), Maverick, Clyde (Clydesdale), Loosy (Appaloosa), Filly, Cherry (Percheron), See See (Tennessee Walker), Connie (Connemara), and Dressy (Dressage). I won’t swear to it, but I think Mustang and Loosy are long coats. Maybe Connie and Cherry are too. A bit too early to tell for sure.
Omg I love them all.
These pics were taken 3/9/2021, with fantastic shooting by my fantastic neighbor! Puppies are 4 and a half weeks old.

These puppies definitely have good appetites! Still nursing too, of course.
The puppies enjoyed a visit today by a family interested in a boy puppy. They got to be petted and loved by a very nice girl. SO IMPORTANT to get early socialization with young children! Very positive experience for all today.
Like many dogs, Jane has a favorite toy. She loves to play fetch, and she loves the orange ball in this pic. She started today to show it to her puppies, with perfect timing. (Blue boy and Yellow girl showed interest right away.) She carefully placed it in their midst, both inside and outside the box. Later, once they start playing with it, she will teach them that she can take it away, because she is the boss. Then she will give it back, only to take it away again. Ultimately, the puppies will try to take it from her, and she will discipline them by gently biting their muzzles, thus teaching them how to play properly, and respect bigger dogs.
