Description
*UPDATE AS OF 11th JULY 2026*
The puppies are now 14 weeks old, and I have updated the photographs to show the final three girls available:
Rain – red collar
Reeva – checked beige collar
Sakari – blue/lilac collar
As a dog trainer, I wanted to keep these pups until this stage of their life before looking for their permanent homes, as I wanted to make sure they had the very best possible start and plenty of time to develop their confidence, independence and everyday social skills.
They have been raised as part of our family and have had extensive exposure to people, children, other dogs of different breeds and ages, cats, livestock and horses. They have also experienced normal day-to-day life, including individual trips to shops and cafés, regular car journeys, time away from their littermates and learning to settle comfortably on their own.
During their additional time with us, they have continued learning good manners, general commands, recall, waiting patiently for food, walking on a collar and lead, gentle play and appropriate behaviour around people and other animals. They are also crate trained, fully house trained with no accidents for as long as I can remember, and are comfortable settling in their crates. They have developed into absolute superstars, and I am incredibly proud of them. Each one will make a wonderful addition to the right family or working home.
This means you are receiving a puppy that has already been properly nurtured and given a strong foundation, so you are not starting from scratch with basic training. Instead, you are bringing home a well-prepared young puppy that already understands the expectations of living in a home environment.
Having spent more individual time with them, I have also been able to understand each puppy’s personality, strengths, individual quirks and any areas where they may benefit from continued guidance. I am therefore able to give prospective owners an honest and detailed explanation of which puppy may be the best match for their home and lifestyle.
The new owners of the puppies who have already left have given me glowing feedback, which has made me extremely proud. The remaining two reserved puppies are staying with me for a few additional weeks to complete the extended training package mentioned in my original description.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about Rain, Reeva or Sakari, or to arrange a visit.
*ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION*
This is the first advert for my 12-week-old Dutch Shepherd puppies.
Respected dog trainer with a litter of 7 homebred puppies which were all reserved. They will be ready this weekend having had full vaccinations and microchips, but unfortunately 4 can no longer complete, so I have 1 boy and 3 girls available.
BOTH THE PARENTS are our family pets. They have amazing temperaments with people and children, other dogs, livestock and horses. I also use them when training other dogs. They are fit and healthy and live happily in our home with our 3 cats.
THE PUPPIES have inherited their parents’ temperaments and good looks. They have been lovingly reared and handled extensively in the home as part of our family. Three of the puppies are going to homes that already have a puppy from my previous litter of two years ago; these are families with children.
The puppies have been produced with so much love and started from birth, as you will realise when you visit. They already have a small résumé:
Sit
Find it
Recall
Happy in their collar and lead
Travel happily daily in the car
I would be more than happy to arrange a training package if required, either way I’m always at the end of the phone for further support if needed.
TO CONCLUDE these are versatile, intelligent and active working dogs with exceptional temperaments. As demonstrated by their parents they have the drive and ability to excel in a wide range of activities, while also fitting seamlessly into the every day chaos of family life.
Dutch shepherd are renowned for their loyalty, affection and eagerness to please, forming incredibly strong bonds with their families. Whether you’re looking for a capable working companion or a devoted family dog, these puppies have been given the very best start in life and will make a wonderful addition to the right home.
If you’d like to arrange a visit or have any further questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.
