Von Hartwin

Von Hartwin, german shepherd dog breeder in Defuniak Springs, FL, serves Walton County and the Florida Panhandle near Pensacola. Joann Letcher is a member of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America with more than fifteen years of experience and follows club protocols for health clearances and temperament assessments. All breeding dogs undergo screenings for hip and elbow dysplasia plus other conditions recommended by national registries.

Puppies grow up indoors in a family setting, with daily handling, crate familiarization, and gradual exposure to household and farm sounds. Supervised off-leash time in fenced paddocks and early socialization with children and other pets build confidence and adaptability. Training sessions use positive reinforcement to establish basic commands before puppies leave for their new homes. Each puppy departs with a comprehensive record of health checks, social milestones and a personalized guide to support their transition.
