"vom Sonnenhügel" is a small hobby kennel and our focus is on working and competing with our Dogs.   We will only breed a litter when we want to produce a new generation for ourselves, so we will not have puppies available very often.  Because we don’t have litters available all the time, our puppy warranty reflects a monitary refund rather than replacement pup.

My commitment to the breed is to strive to produce the soundest dogs possible while following the Breed Standards set by the SV.  We are striving to produce dogs with outstanding temperament and character, while maintaining working ability and soundness.   My dogs live in the house and are companions first, competition dogs second. 

I am a member of the Aztec Schutzhund Club in Ramona, California and a member of both USCA and GSDCA-WDA organizations.  I work my dogs and compete with them in local and Regional trials. 

Our litters are born and raised in the house, not a kennel. They play outside, inside and with the other dogs.   We expose them to as much as we can and begin crate training at 7-8 weeks with each pup learning to eat and sleep in their own crate.  I believe this helps makes the transition to their new home easier.  Even before birth, we have tried to do our best for our pups to ensure that they will be wonderful additions to their new families.

I am very concerned with the dogs I am producing and want to be kept informed of how they are doing.  I welcome being updated and am available 24/7 to my puppy buyers with questions or concerns.  I am also very concerned with the health and soundness of my puppies and encourage my buyers to make sure to get the pups hips and elbows x-rayed and certified when they are 2 years old.
