Thank you very much for your interest in our White Shepherds here
at Reeves Royal Acres. We have been raising White Shepherds since
1986 and have produced some of the top conformation and working dogs
in the country. Our dogs have achieved many accomplishments and
awards. Soon, each of our dogs will have its own page on our site, so
you may view their individual information, pedigrees and achievements.
Royal Acres bloodlines have appeared in
the majority of the Top Ten UKC conformation dogs since the White
Shepherd was recognized as an eligible breed. Royal Acres dogs can be
found in many of the prominent kennels across the US and in several
foreign countries. We have a couple dogs involved in
 Search
and Rescue and many working various other jobs in all parts of the
country.
Dedication to the breed is of the utmost
importance to us. We strive to raise healthy dogs that will be
treasured family companions, as well as being intelligent and
extremely handsome. We have worked with the breed parent clubs for
many years in local and national positions, as well as promotion of
the breed through hosting conformation shows, obedience fun matches,
and pet fair events. We participate in the health and genetics study
being organized by AWSA. Please take a look at these club sites to
find many White Shepherd pictures and references to our kennel:
American White
Shepherd Association,
White
Shepherd Club of Canada,
United White
Shepherd Club.
Royal Acres is a
 working agricultural and
livestock farm located in northwest Indiana. We are
very involved with our dogs on a daily basis. We are home full time
with our dogs and puppies, and
spend many hours exercising, playing, training, and caring for all of
our four-footed friends. Currently we are participating in
conformation showing with the
American White
Shepherd Association, the
White
Shepherd Club of Canada, and the
United Kennel Club.
We also compete in obedience with AKC and UKC, and agility with the
UKC. My kids also show frequently in Junior Showmanship and 4-H
obedience and agility.
All puppies begin their lives with the
early neurological stimulation program called the Super Dog program.
Click on the link for more information:
Early Neurological Stimulation-Developing High Achievers. Puppies
will be fully guaranteed for health and hips, be vaccinated, wormed,
partially crate trained and well socialized with my family. They will
also be introduced to house breaking, other dogs, larger animals and
many types of activities.
 Puppies
will be evaluated for temperament, conformation, and trainability. We
do puppy temperament and aptitude testing before placing puppies in
their new homes. Puppies will be AKC, UKC, and AWSA registered.
Consideration will be given to homes that
are qualified to handle and raise a White Shepherd properly. We are
very careful about placement of our puppies, and would like them to
find homes where they will thrive and be loved for their entire lives.
White Shepherds live and average of about 12 years, and we would like
them to remain with their dedicated family that entire time. They are
a working and herding breed that requires exercise, training and
socialization in order to have a happy and healthy life. Please fill
out our Prospective Puppy Questionnaire,
if you would like to be considered for the purchase of a puppy.
I do not take
 deposits
on puppies until they are born. I find that it is easier to wait until
they are here and we know what we have. After you have filled out our
questionnaire, and the puppies are born,
you will be contacted concerning the availability of a puppy. At that
time, a deposit of $100 will be required. This deposit will be
refundable if for some reason your situation changes before the
puppies are six weeks of age or if I feel I cannot provide you with a
puppy that would be suitable for your home. Prices vary depending on
if you are looking for limited registered pets or top pick working and
conformation puppies.
Shipping is available for an addition
fee, which would include the shipping crate, additional health papers
and the airfare, of course if the weather is cooperative. During the
winter and summer, shipping can be arranged, but we have to carefully
watch the temperature. We need to have weather above 20 degrees, and
below 85 degrees for airlines to ship puppies. Traveling to pick the
puppy up, or flying out and taking the puppy back with you as a
carry-on, are two of the best options during the winter and summer
months.
We hope that you will find this website
helpful in choosing a special friend and companion that will be with
you for many happy years. For information on our current and
coming-soon litters, please see our Puppy
page.
