Coal is a stunning, solid black male West German Shepherd with an exceptional pedigree and an even more impressive personality. He’s the only male in his litter, and a truly rare find for anyone looking for a loyal companion with structure, intelligence, and presence.
Please call or text for the most current videos and photos of Coal. He’s available with flexible pickup timing depending on how much advanced training you’d like included. Whether you’re looking for a young puppy to start fresh with or a fully crate and house-trained pup, Coal is ready to meet you where you’re at.
Coal has already begun his Angel Level 1 Training, which includes an incredible foundation of commands and manners that will set him up for lifelong success. Here’s a glimpse at what he’s already started:
- Potty and “pooh pooh” on command (outdoor elimination routines)
- Crate training with the “in your box” command
- “Come” when called—both indoors and outdoors, off-leash started
- “Off” and “nice” commands to politely greet people
- Sit in front when approached for petting
- “Leave it” and “nice” when interacting with cats, chickens, and our Papillon
- “Inside” and “outside” for entering and exiting the home
- “Wait” to pause patiently at doors
- “On your bed” for calm down time or place training
- “On leash” and “off leash” walking and recall behavior started
- “Sit,” “down,” and “quiet” all introduced and improving daily
His training has been hands-on and structured using positive reinforcement, ensuring a confident and polite pup that’s well on his way to being an outstanding family or working companion.
Coal comes Avid Microchipped and is enrolled for life through AKC Animal Recovery. He’s AKC registered (limited), with the option to upgrade to full unlimited registration for an additional $1,000. All vaccines to date are mercury-free, and if Coal remains with us for extended training beyond 16 weeks, he’ll also receive his rabies vaccination and certificate.
Coal will be crate-trained overnight and ready to go home July 1st, 2025. The total cost is $4,500, and a non-refundable deposit is welcome to reserve this incredible boy. This is a professional-quality litter bred from phenomenal West German parents. Coal is rare not just for his solid black coat, but for the level of structure, training, and support included with his adoption.
