12) Some extra little surprises to make your puppy's going home trip special.


  We do our best to provide good,healthy,intelligent,puppies for your many years of future enjoyment and like wise expect these puppies to have a safe and loving home to grow up in.A safe kennel with proper shelter while outside and/or a fenced in yard or run area is prefered for your puppy's safety and well being.

We do not approve of or use any shock collars,invisible fencing,or believe in hitting or  abusing puppies or dogs to correct them.We can not understand why anyone would want to cause pain to their best friend.

We do ,however,recommend the books and direction of Cesar Millan (The Dog Whisperer) as we find his training practices to be fast,effective,and wonderful in handling dogs and puppies.We get many compliments on behaviour from our vet at visits there and from the public when out and about with our guys and gals.

                    The Monks of Skeet/Skete also have wonderful puppy training methods.

We also understand that sometimes things happen and a beloved pet has to change homes. We ask that you contact us to work something out or find a safe loving home for him/her before placing your best friend in a shelter or dog pound.

                                     About Puppy Going Home day


     We understand that you are most excited to see the puppies but due to health,insurance and safety issues ,We do not open our nursery until the puppies have had their first shots and are ready to go to their new homes.We are happy to email you litter pictures as the litter developes and we do keep updated pictures on our website as they grow.

   At approximately 7 to 8 weeks of age,when the puppies are fully weaned and their 6 week shots have had some time to take effect,we set up appointments in picking /deposit order and will be happy to have you come and pick up your puppy.You may also meet the parents at the time you get your puppy.

   We arrange appointments on Saturday and Sunday between 11:00 am and 6:00 pm. in picking order,so, please keep this in mind when planning to visit.

   In the event that you are unable to be here for your appointment time,you may either choose your puppy by pictures and temperament information by email or you may choose to go lower on the choosing order.

   Please be considerate in keeping your puppy pick up date with us.We have others that drive a long distance and need to be able to pick their puppy also.Sorry but we can not ask others to wait who are as excited to get their puppy as you are.We do our best to be as fair to all as we can.
     
    We do charge a 5.00 per day fee to hold a puppy past the appointment day until you pick him/her up.This fee is non refundable.


  We accept personal checks and money orders for deposits but only cash for the remaining balance when your puppy is picked up.

Please make deposit checks payable to:

If you have any questions,please feel free to contact us by email at vgkzim@hotmail.com
We will answer asap after we receive an email from you. WE ARE ALWAYS HEPPY TO EMAIL YOU OUR ADDRESS INFORMATION.                                            

                                                        We appreciate your understanding.

We also ask that you do not visit other kennels on the same day that you visit us and please don't be offended if we ask you to dip your shoes or remove them.Our goal is to protect the puppies and keep them all healthy for everyone.

                    About Full registration versus Limited Registration.
   With Full Registration, dogs can be shown in AKC conformation shows and their puppies may be registered with AKC.
        (This is extremely important if you want to raise a litter or add a dog to your breeding kennel)

   With Limited Registration,dogs, are AKC registered but can not be conformation shown with AKC and their puppies can not be registered with AKC. (This works well for a pet who will be spayed or neutered.)

    We do not use spay /neuter contracts. We believe that is your personal right (along with your vet) to choose what's best for your puppy.

            However,we do recommend that pets be spayed or neutered to make a better family companion.

                             In order to guarantee your puppy,

We require that you have your puppy checked by your own Licensed Veterinarian within 3 days (72 hours) of pick up date.This is for the benefit of all involved and gives your Vet a starting point to get to know your puppy and to be able to look at his/her shot /vet records to set your puppy's next appointment. Most other breeders only allow 48 hours.

                              We offer 2 written hip/health guarantees
                                                     1) Our basic one year
                                                     2) our extended 2-3 year.

                               

 
We now offer an exclusive Alzimm Hip /Health , written guarantee for your 
                         new puppy up to his/her 3rd birthday !*!*!*


    We realize that you care about your new fur baby and we also greatly care about all of our babies and parents.We also realize that even though any 2 parents may have OFA certifications and other health testing done, it still does not guarantee that their babies will be healthy and genetically free from bone and other health issues.

  This is why we back up every Alzimm puppy with our own written hip/health guarantee.

  We have come to understand that early development which includes good care, lots of love and attention and quality feeding of both sire and dame along with the same care being passed down to their babies gives the babies the best start possible.

  We never subject our babies and mothers to being kept/raised in crates as this can cause way to many issues and is unfair to both mother and babies.One of our wonderful nursery rooms can be seen on our kennel page.Each mother and litter has a 4.5' x 8.5' kennel in our nursery rooms so babies have plenty of room to stretch,play and grow which is so crucial to good bone and muscle growth.However,we do make sure that each baby regularly gets to spend a very short time in a training crate now and than to make their transition to a new home that provides crate training easier.

  We also know that good quality foods and great natural supplaments can help to pro-long the life of your new fur baby and prevent many common health issues and early deaths.

To give your new fur baby the best possible start in life,We routinely practice the following:

1) Feeding high quality foods.

2) Supplamenting parents and babies with Nu Vet Plus

3) Feeding Esbilac Puppy Formula to our lactating mothers and all puppies from the moment
    they start weaning and eating foods up through 6 weeks of age.We never use infant formula. It is lacking in 13 vital nutrients that puppies need according to our vet's nutrition expert.

4) Offering all the love and cuddling we can to all babies and mommas.

We have had such good results in our way of starting and nuturing new babies that we now offer an all new, exclusive, extended, written guarantee for your new puppy up to it's 3rd Birthday! We happily share all the details with you when you come to choose your new baby.

     Many wonderful, famous kennels have dedicated years of hard work to the furthering and betterment of the German Shepherd Dog breed.Our GSDs here at Alzimm carry these names in their pedigrees that have been carefully blended together by us to produce our wonderful Alzimm puppies. Some lines are not called upon yet but will be in the very near future and we are excited to see what they produce from these blends.

These names include the following:
Mansard, Aurelius, Leonhaus,Jahnhohe, Leisdear, Hafjagerhaus, Hirschel, Wildsteiger Land,
Arlett, Batu, Hohen Erle ,Dolimiten, Haus Beck, Polarkreis, BadBoll, Arminius, Kirschental,         Monchberg, Noricum, Vallee, Farbenspeil, Bullinger, Sofienwald,Tronge, Gletschertopf, Jasso,
      Krompass, Lebarland, Buchhorn, Neuen Berg, Ulmental, Furstenberg,Wienerau.

Just so you know:
    All of our Dogs here at Alzimm are our family first and hold a very dear bond in each of our hearts. Secondly comes the consideration for breeding.
......You will never see dogs appearing, then disappearing out of here continually as we are (sadly) seeing elsewhere. The thought of giving any of them up is not even an option here!
    
All dogs, Goldens and German Shepherds alike, remain on our grounds in our total care, love and protection (24/7) so that we can see to their individual needs and well being on a daily, personal, one-on-one basis. We never send them out then bring them back to "use" them for breeding when "beneficial to us" either.
      By them having forever homes here, happily interacting with each other, we can totally guarantee and assure you that our pack here has the best possible care we can provide them.This is a great family adventure that we all enjoy from the youngest on up as you can see throughout our web site. Our fur family is just to precious to us to entrust to anyone else!


  Please remember: If your puppy does not carry the Alzimm name and come from our home with all the love and attention we can give, then it's not an Alzimm puppy.


    Please note that we are not affiliated with any other kennel/breeder

                    Please feel free to inform us of any interference with us by any other breeder.

             ******************************************************************************                                   When your new puppy leaves us and goes home with you,we can assure you that we at Alzimm have taken the best care of the parents as we possibly can and that your new puppy has had our utmost love, feeding and special attention that we can give.

  We believe this pre-birth and beginning care is a very crucial part in giving your new baby the best start possible for a long,healthy life.

  We thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts who have referred us to the new puppy families who are waiting on our reserve lists and those of you who have provided the wonderful, loving homes for your new babies.

  We always greatly appreciate all of the wonderful emails,pictures and puppy updates we receive and will get them all posted as quickly as we can. We are working on updating our web site and are having difficulties getting our site to publish new info so please bear with us as we work these things out.

  We also have alot of wonderful new things we are working on now and into the coming New Year to help us obtain achievements in several areas to further our kennel efforts.These include training accomplishments, health clearances and more.

 

In loving memory of :

    (Ebby at 12 years old)

  Ebby was our daughter Jody's much loved poodle.She literally saved Jody's life one night when she barked a fit until I heard her and got up to find Jody seriously ill in bed at 5:am and unable to breath properly.Ebby was right there with Jody and would not give up until I got to Jody's room. The hospital told me if Ebby hadn't woke me up to help,Jody would not have made it.We lost Ebby at 12.5 years old of cancer and will never under estimate the courage and loyalty of that darling little 7 lb dog.
Thank you for looking at our web site.

A Personal note from Vickie
  
   My love for the German Shepherd breed was enriched by my beloved
Beartrand of Greenwalt   
               (Bear)
He blessed the life of my brother,myself and my children over 20 years ago.He was a massive ,gentle guy of American and German lines with the most intelligence and gentleness I have ever seen in a German Shepherd.
  He left us all to soon from an unknown illness and he will never be forgotten.
