New Skete Monastery German Shepherd Dog Breeding Program

 New Skete accepts applications for puppies periodically throughout the year.

Please check back frequently if you are interested in applying for a puppy.

 We are a small monastery and operate a small breeding program.  Mother Nature can be fickle and we never know how many puppies will be born.  

Waiting times can vary.
 

 New Skete puppies are socialized.  They are handled from an early age and introduced to different people and situations.  More about socializing can be found in our book “The Art of Raising Your Puppy.”  They are not house (potty) trained.   

 At present, the cost for a New Skete German shepherd puppy is between $4,900 and $5,500.  This is subject to change without notice. 

For instructions and tips on applying please see below.

When an adult dog is retired from the breeding program, he/she is then placed in a loving home for the rest of his or her life.

Adult dogs have completed the New Skete Dog Training program.

For information on training techniques and tools please visit our training page.

At present, the cost for an adult New Skete Shepherd is between $8,500 to $12,000.  This is subject to change without notice.
