HOW YOUR CELESTIAL PUPPY IS RAISED:

Every puppy bred by Celestial White Shepherds is raised with preparing them for the real world.  They are raised in our home with the sounds of an average household.  Each pup receives daily individual attention.  We perform the Bio Sensor exercises for the first two weeks.  Puppies exposed to this form of Early Neurological Stimulation have been found to have:

u     Improved cardio vascular performance
u     Stronger heart beats
u     Stronger adrenal glands
u     More tolerance to stress
u    Greater resistance to disease

Once your puppy reaches 6 weeks of age they will be evaluated for conformation and temperament using the Volhards Puppy Aptitude Test. 

In addition, your puppy will be evaluated using the PAWS Working Dog Evaluation.  It was developed to identify and evaluate the main components of good working temperament for dogs selected for work in K-9, Scent Detection, Search, French Ring, Schultzhand, Agility, Obedience and similar activities.

At 8 weeks of age each puppy will be individually evaluated for herding instinct.

Your puppy will come to you with a health clearance from our vet, first set of vaccinations and Tattooed or Microchipped.  We also will supply you with the Celestial Health Guarantee.


How Can I Be Considered for a Celestial Puppy?  Celestial puppies are spoken for before they are born.  If you would like to be considered for one of our puppies you can email us with any questions.  During this time you will be asked to fill out our Puppy Questionnaire in order for us to get to know you, your family and what you are looking for in a pup.  Once you are approved for a Celestial puppy you will be asked for a deposit to hold your puppy.

Pricing:  Celestial puppy pricing is based upon evaluations of temperament, working ability and conformation between 6-8 weeks of age.
    
Deposits:  A $300.00 deposit will be accepted after you have been approved.  The deposit is non-
refundable. Send your deposit only if you are committed to add a Celestial puppy to your household, it will not be refunded if you back out.

Hips & Elbows:  Prior to breeding, hips are certified by PennHIP/OFA and elbows by OFA.  As the breeder of your puppy I have done everything I can to assure that the health of your puppy is excellent.  I only breed dogs that have OFA or PennHIP certified hips and who have no known detrimental genetic health conditions.  Please understand that with the genetics of breeding dogs, nothing is 100% guaranteed.   Although it is rare, even with the best planning undesirable traits do occur, even out of healthy parents.

Guarantee:  Our puppies are sold with Celestial White Shepherds Health Guarantee.

Genetics:  In an effort to avoid passing on serious genetic health problems, we conscientiously consider the genetic background of all breeding stock.  We also report professionally diagnosed genetic disorders to the White Shepherd Genetics Project.
