How Are Canisphere Kennels Puppies Raised and Prepared Before Going to a New Home?

Updated

Canisphere Kennels states that all of its German Shepherd puppies are home raised and, before shipping, are vaccinated, dewormed, and vet checked. The kennel also says it can ship puppies anywhere. These are the breeder's own published claims; the site does not list specific vaccines, deworming products, or the name of the examining veterinarian, so buyers should ask for the actual health records rather than rely on the summary alone.

What the Breeder Says Happens Before a Puppy Leaves

According to the Canisphere Kennels website, the preparation described for every puppy is:

  • Home raised — puppies are raised in the breeder's home environment rather than in a separate kennel facility.
  • Vaccinated — puppies receive vaccinations before shipping.
  • Dewormed — puppies are treated for parasites before shipping.
  • Vet checked — a veterinarian examines the puppy before it is shipped.

The site presents these as standard steps for all Canisphere puppies. It does not publish a schedule showing at what age each step occurs, which vaccines are used, or what the vet check covers.

What to Ask For Before Reserving

Because the website gives only a summary, the practical next step is to request documentation that matches each claim. Useful questions include:

  1. Vaccination record — which vaccines were given, on what dates, and by whom.
  2. Deworming record — which product was used and when the last treatment was given.
  3. Vet check report — the date of the examination and any findings noted.
  4. Health guarantee terms — the site describes a guarantee against hip and elbow dysplasia, with OFA evaluation before 28 months of age, and replacement with a puppy of equal value if a genetic problem is confirmed by a veterinarian. Ask for the written guarantee text and confirm how a claim would be handled.
  5. Shipping details — the site says "Shipping Anywhere" but does not describe the method, cost, or what paperwork travels with the puppy. Ask how the puppy will be transported and what documents accompany it.

The Reservation Deposit

The site states that a non-refundable deposit of $400.00 is required to reserve a future puppy. Because the deposit is non-refundable, it is worth confirming the health records and guarantee terms before paying it. The site does not list puppy prices or shipping costs.

Other Details Worth Knowing

  • The kennel describes 48 years of breeding and focuses on health and genetics, breeding from German and North American bloodlines.
  • It lists two adult females available and expected 2026 litters, including a litter of five males born July 10, 2026.
  • The site notes that it is moving to canisphere.carrd.co and asks visitors to update bookmarks before October 20, 2026, and to update their email client with the new contact address beginning "canispherekennels@gma".
  • The written guarantee does not apply to puppies purchased in 2007 and earlier.

Bottom Line

If you are considering a Canisphere puppy, treat the website's statements as the breeder's claims and verify them with paperwork: vaccination and deworming records, the vet check report, the written health guarantee, and shipping arrangements. Confirm these before paying the non-refundable $400 deposit, and use the updated contact details if the old site or email is no longer active.
