Puppy Application


Thank you for your interest in an Aus der Asche German Shepherd. Our goal is to match each puppy with the home best suited to their temperament, lifestyle, and intended purpose. This application helps me learn what you're looking for and what everyday life will look like for your puppy. There are no perfect answers. Please be candid about your experience, lifestyle, preferences, and expectations. First-time German Shepherd owners are welcome, and preferences such as sex and color are helpful even when they are flexible.

Our Breed: German Shepherd Dog
