Our breeding program was founded in 1992. In the last 30+ years we have built one of the top breeding programs in the United States. Our prices reflect the years of work and commitment as well as huge investment we have made to build this program. There are cheaper prices out there, but remember you get what you pay for and will they be around if you need them to stand behind something or help you. Unlikely, most tell people to call us. We have been working dogs and training dogs since 1985. So when we say we have bred 190+ plus litters of pups, (1095+ puppies or average 5. 6 puppies per litter app over 30 years of breeding) this means over the 30 years (which calculates out to 6 litters a year, certainly not mass production) of breeding we developed a world class program, and not by mass production or cutting corners. We do not just hold back dogs for breeding because it is the cheap way to do it. I am constantly searching for new blood lines and traits dogs offer. Unlike most we also raise and train some of the dogs we breed, so we know first hand what we are producing and what they can be with proper training and work.
All Puppies are priced at $2000.00 in price, hips guaranteed to certify with OFA at 2 years of age. Males and Females all priced the same. $500 check deposit required to hold a selection spot. Male and/or Female first pick in ALL litters may/ or may not be reserved for our foster program and we do reserve the option to keep first pick male/or female in any litter. If we choose not to keep a pup the person with #2 pick position would move up to first pick and so on. All puppies come with a full AKC registration application if the litter is AKC registrable Micro-chipped, and Vet Checked. All parents are on site (if living) as we OWN all the dogs in our program and use no outside dogs nor do we trade for breedings etc. We do have 1 female who lives with staff. All puppies are named by us for registration purposes (you may use any call name, however official names are given by us based on tattoo number assigned by us).

Puppy Deposit Policy as of 2020- 2024
Deposits for all puppies is $500.00 check. It is a nonrefundable deposit once the litter is born and there is enough pups.(for any reason so do not ask!) We accept cash, money order, and checks (the acceptance or refusal of all personal checks is the decision of Von der haus Gill staff). Von der haus Gill RESERVES the right to refuse to accept a deposit from any person for any reason that Von der haus Gill deems sufficient to do so. Checks are requested form of deposit and checks are held uncashed until a litter is born. At that time if there is enough pups to cover the sex requested by the buyer, the checks may be cashed and are then nonrefundable for any reason. If there wouldn’t be enough pups for whatever reason the uncashed check will be returned to the buyer, or the buyer can choose to move to another litter where ever there is an opening. No clients on that litter will be bumped for the move. It is the buyers choice on the return of the check or a move to another litter.
Pick order in all litters is determined by deposit order, by sex, by litter. Von der haus Gill reserves the right to take first pick (males) and/or (females) in all litters. The first selection spot given to the public is 2nd pick in all litters, male and females.

Any returned checks (i,e NSF) will be charged a $50.00 fee, which covers the returned fee from our bank as well as our labor and time costs. A new Cashiers Check will be required! No checks will be reprocessed. No pick spots are guaranteed until a check actually clears all banks involved.
