These German Shepherd breedings are a strong working bloodline combination that will bring about the many qualities we expect in the overall character, temperament, solid structure and excellence in workability. You can expect German Shepherd puppies with gorgeously rich and beautiful pigmentation, in solid black, sable or dark black sable, with solid nerves, instinctivly high prey and retrieve drives, early defense presentation and good sound social judement with civil behavioral attributes as well. Puppies will be expected to excell for use Dual Purpose Police K9, Narcotics and Explosives Detection, Personal/Family Property Protection, Search and Rescue, Family companion, Agility and Obedience Competitioner and most of all a beloved family pet.
All Vom Banach K9 puppies come with a Written Contract, Health and Hip Guarantee, Avid Microchip Implantation, DHPP vaccine (We use Progard-5 Vaccine by Intervet,) and multiple dewormings. All vom Banach K9 Puppies are Healthy, Happy, Vibrant individuals that have been very well socialized, handled and loved from the moment they were born.
Below is our protocol for worming and vaccination of puppies here at Vom Banach K9 and our recommendations for puppies from birth thru adulthood.
WORMING:
Puppies:
2 weeks Nemex-2 per oral as by weight ( Nemex-2 Brand of Pyrantel Pamoate suspension .5ml per # I like Nemex-2 because of the dosage and you are able to more accurately dose a 2 week old puppy with Nemex-2 than by the standard Pyrantel labeled for humans or that is sold in pet catalogs that is a 50mg/ml. Nemex-2 is 4.54 mg per ml )
4 weeks Nemex-2 per oral as by weight
5 weeks Albon, ( Albon as directed by weight guidelines in 5% oral suspension) and Panacur ( Panacur granules 22.2% by weight ) as preventative for coccidia( Albon) and various internal parasites( Panacur) x 5 days in a row for Albon and x 3 days for Panacur.
7 weeks Pyrantel Pamoate Suspension 50mg/ml ( Pyrantel at .1ml per lb )
8-9 weeks or dose at go home Pyrantel Pamoate same as above 50mg/ml ( at .1ml per lb )
I recommend a monthly wormer for puppies and adults over 9 weeks of age. Such as Interceptor or Sentinel by Novartis or Iverhart by Virbac. This product is for heartworm prevention as well as the monthly control of other internal parasites.
Vaccines:
I use Progard vaccines by Intervet. Vaccines should be given in the Right Front Quadrant ( right shoulder ) Rabies should be given in the Right Rear Quadrant ( Right Hip ) Misc. Vaccines Lyme etc.. should be given in the Left front Quadrant ( Left Shoulder ) and Misc injections such as antibiotics should be given midline above the scapula ( or nape of the neck as you will commonly see by Veterinarians and Tech's. ) The reason for this is should there be a local reaction to a vaccine or a lump develop later in these areas you will know which vaccine caused these reactions. When I record the vaccines in the Health Record I peel the sticker off of the original vaccine vial and attach it to the lower portion of the Health Record. I record the date, location the vaccine was given, vaccine sticker and initial. So it would read: Date, DHPP <sticker from vial> R front quad - JM
A vet will know where the vaccine was given, what brand, serial numbers of the vaccine and expiration date. If later there should develop a small mass/lump it will be easier to diagnose the possibility of it being from a vaccine. I do let clients also know should they later feel a small pea to marble sized lump in that region that it could be as a result of a vaccine.
7 weeks DHPP only ( Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo , Parainfluenza ) Progard 5 by Intervet This is what I give here before puppies go home. I like to give it at 7 weeks to allow time for the vaccine to kick in as opposed to doing it at 8 weeks when a puppy may be leaving. I do not like to hyper vaccinate by doing Lepto and Corona on their 1st vaccine also it is recommended that Lepto be given ONLY after 10 weeks of age and not before so do not vaccinate with Lepto under 10 weeks of age.
8 weeks Bordetella ~ Intra Nasal ( B. bronchiseptica ) also known as Kennel Cough is given in a liquid form vaccination in the nose. Kennel cough is easily transmitted from dog to dog by contact with a contaminated animal, on the ground, or in a facility where affected dogs have been in such places as dog parks, Petstores, Veterinary Hospitals, boarding facilities and cargo facilities where animals are shipped. We vaccinate all of our puppies here at 8 weeks of age or before they go to their new homes to aid in the prevention of Kennel cough and your puppy becoming infected during those first few weeks where the puppy may be traveling or in infected areas. We recommend a kennel cough booster be given every 6 months if you are frequently in contact with common grounds and unknown dogs.
On my puppy records I then recommend Boosters every 4 weeks as follows:
11 weeks DA2PPvL+CV ( Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvo, Parinfluenza and Corona Virus. Note** Intervet no longer manufactures the Progard 8 by Intervet or Progard 7 So for DHLPP we now use the Galaxy DA2PPVL by Schering-Plough Animal Health and then add the Corona separately by Intervet which is the Progard-CVK. ( The Corona Virus vaccine may be optional in your area or not at a high risk in your area. It is a virus similar to Parvo but not as severe. I would check with your vet to see what they recommend for your area. Corona is a puppy virus and does not need to be re-boostered or vaccinated in adult dogs. In puppies however you need 2 boosters of it same as with Lepto. I absolutely recommend vaccinating against Lepto. Lepto is a bacteria. Leptospirosis is spread commonly by infected rodents and raccoons and passed through the contact with urine it is as well very contagious to humans. It is common in our state and many others. The Lepto vaccine has very few side effects clinically with the Large breed dogs. There is a higher risk of side effects to smaller breeds. Life saving vaccinations far out weigh the risk of possible side affects from the actual killed modified vaccine for this disease.
15 weeks DA2PPvL+CV and Rabies ( same as above you need 2 boosters of the Lepto as well as the Corona for immunization. Please check with your area for Rabies requirements in your state. Puppies should be at least 12 weeks of age to be administered a Rabies vaccine. Prior to 12 weeks it may be rejected by the immune system due to the puppies own immunities from its mother so the puppy would not be fully protected from the disease. Because Rabies is required by LAW in many States, Rabies can only be given to puppies over 12 weeks of age for this reason and in order to receive a Certificate of Immunization.
At 1 year a booster DA2PPL ( Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvo and Parainfluenza ) Galaxy DA2PPVL by Schering-Plough Animal Health
Then every 3 years the DAP Continuum which is a 3 year vaccine for Distemper, Hepatitis and Parvo. Continuum DAP by Intervet
Guidelines should be followed for recommendations for Rabies in your State.
I do also agree with Titers for those who do not wish to hyper vaccinate adult dogs. A Titer is a blood test performed by your veterinarian in order to determine the presence of antibodies that develop in the body as a result of vaccines. A vaccine titer reveals whether or not the animal currently has adequate protection against a disease. Low titers indicate that vaccination will be necessary to provide immune protection.
This is a schedule I stick with when I am raising up a litter. Puppies who may be staying longer may not receive the same schedule as those leaving at the 8-9 weeks of age. I may vaccinate them later then the initial 7 week vaccine so I then follow a vaccine protocol from the date of the initial vaccine giving subsequent vaccines every 4 weeks thereafter for the remaining two vaccines. Because both Corona and Lepto need two boosters following the initial one is why I recommend puppies receive two more vaccines in addition to rabies after leaving here.
I also discuss vaccines with my clients when I give go home instructions. And I hope it mostly sinks in. I think it is very important when they take their new puppy to their vet that they bring the record and be sure they are given the correct vaccinations and only the ones that are needed. I think it is important to be on the same page with your vet that puppies are not over vaccinated.

This litter is a beautiful breeding combination bringing together an excellent balance of both East and West German working bloodlines. We have been working with these bloodlines for many years with great success. This Breeding brings in as well Aron vom Poppitz and Irma vom Korbelbach, sire and dam to their daughter, our beautiful girl "Allie vom Banach". This litter is meeting all of our expectations. Puppies are gorgeous with rich pigment, blocky heads and beautiful bone. Puppies from birth have been very nice healthy weight, and very uniform in size. The litter has been very strong, active and vocal. I expect very nice puppies from this breeding for both work and family companionship. I do expect this litter to be very balanced and have the nice calm temperament the DDR dogs are known for as well as adding a bit more drive and intensity for the ball and play coming in off of Allie and her West German Blood. Pups should have excellent endurance and working abilities and should be very well suited for Search and Rescue, competition obedience, SchH, and a wide variety of specialty interest. If you have a specific interest please feel free to call us so we can determine the right pup for your type of work. Above all else our puppies are known for being hand raised and wonderful family pets. They have the ability to work as well as be in the home relaxed and part of the family. All babies still to this day are born in my bedroom, handled and loved daily. They are exposed to the many sights and sounds of everyday life and are well socialized. We have a commitment to our puppies and our clients to best match our puppies by their individual character and temperament to your needs and lifestyle. Puppies from this breeding are priced at $1200.00-1500.00 ea. plus shipping if required.
