EnglishWhat Is Canisphere Kennels?
Updated
Canisphere Kennels is a German Shepherd breeding kennel based in Manitoba, Canada, describing itself as celebrating 48 years of breeding. It sells German Shepherd puppies and older, trained dogs, with a stated focus on health and genetics, bloodlines drawn from German and North American lines, a guarantee against hip and elbow dysplasia, and lifetime breeder support. It is a direct-from-breeder source rather than a rescue or a general pet store, and it positions its dogs for family companionship as well as show and performance work.
What the kennel offers
The site describes two broad categories of dogs:
- Puppies — home-raised, and according to the site, vaccinated, dewormed, and vet-checked before shipping.
- Older trained dogs — the kennel says it also breeds and offers trained German Shepherds, not only young puppies.
It also lists two adult females as available at the time of the page content, so buyers looking for an adult dog rather than a puppy have that option to ask about.
Health guarantee and support
The guarantee is the most concrete commitment stated on the site, and it has specific conditions worth reading closely before committing:
| Element | What the site states |
|---|---|
| Covered issues | Genetic problems that would prevent a normal, healthy life; hip and elbow evaluation determined by OFA before 28 months of age |
| Remedy | Replacement with another puppy of equal value |
| How a claim is established | Determined by a veterinarian and proven with clinical research |
| Exclusions | Puppies purchased in 2007 and earlier do not qualify for the written guarantee |
| Ongoing support | Lifetime breeder support |
Two practical points follow from this. First, the remedy is a replacement puppy, not a refund, so the guarantee is about getting another dog rather than recovering money. Second, the hip and elbow window closes at 28 months, which means an OFA evaluation needs to happen before that age for a claim to be considered.
Cost and reserving a puppy
The site states that a non-refundable deposit of $400.00 is required to reserve a future puppy. No puppy prices, shipping costs, or payment methods are listed in the available page content, so those need to be confirmed directly with the kennel. Because the deposit is non-refundable, it is worth settling questions about litter timing, price, and shipping before paying it.
Litters and availability
The page lists 2026 expected litters and recent births, including a litter of five male puppies born July 10, 2026, a planned breeding, and a breeding described as "soon to be bred." Litter information changes quickly, so treat any specific litter as a snapshot and confirm current availability with the kennel.
Shipping and location
The kennel advertises "Shipping Anywhere!" and says puppies are vet-checked before shipping. It does not publish shipping fees, destinations served, or travel arrangements in the available content. If you are outside Manitoba, ask specifically how transport works, what it costs, and what health documentation travels with the dog.
A note on the website move
The site states that it is moving and asks visitors to update bookmarks to canisphere.carrd.co before October 20, 2026, and to update email contacts to the new Gmail address shown on the page. If you are researching the kennel, use the new address to avoid relying on an outdated site or inbox.
Who this kennel suits
Canisphere fits buyers who want a German Shepherd from a long-established breeder, value documented bloodlines and a written health guarantee, and are comfortable with a non-refundable deposit to hold a spot for a future litter. It is less suited to someone who wants an immediate adult pet with no waiting period, or who needs published pricing and shipping terms before making contact — those details require a direct inquiry. Before committing, ask for the guarantee in writing, confirm the OFA timing requirement, and get the total cost including shipping and any training for older dogs.
