All of my german shepherd puppies are socialized daily and are good with small children.  All puppies are well socialized with adults and small children.  All puppies have at least 7/8 European bloodline (West German, East German (DDR), and Czech), some have more.  The puppies come with AKC registration papers  (limited or full registration, depending on which is chosen) and a health guarantee.  All puppies will have their first shot (7-Way) and will be de-wormed at least 2 times before they are sent to their new homes.  Puppies will be available to go to their new homes at 8 weeks of age.  We deliver to some states for a fee; we do not ship via air, but will consider shipping by ground service (usually this costs around $400) if no other arrangements can be made.  If I personally deliver my puppies, I charge .40 a mile roundtrip for delivery.  This is actually cheaper to a lot of places, than by shipping by air.  You can see a copy of the guarantee on the health guarantee page.  From time to time I do have older puppies available that are started in obedience training.  They will be featured on the older puppies page.  I hope you will consider Tonti Trail German Shepherds for your next quality shepherd.  We are located in Salem, Illinois about 2 hours east of St. Louis.
