booooooooooo, should've adopted from a shelter.

Oh, and why is that?

B/c saving a life is more honorable than supporting a backyard breeder. Plus, there's plenty of puppies that need rescuing from shelters/adoption groups.

You know having a dog is a great chick magnet. For someone that is so into cute furry animals, you'd think you'd have a dog or pet. Another reason why your little girl fetish is a turn-off to women.

1. Not everything in life has to be simply for "honorable reasons."

2. This puppy needed a home too. I didn't "order it." It was already born before I even began looking. So puppies that are born to breeders dont' need homes?

3. I properly vetted this breeder, ensuring it wasn't a puppy mill. In addition, she herself rescues dogs that need homes. She has a recue boxer, mixed breed hound dog, and a German Shepherd mix that was overbred at a puppy mill.

4. I wanted certain qualities in my dog that I know I'll get in a German Shepherd.

5. I already donate money out of every paycheck towards animal rescue. And the last two dogs my family got were rescue animals.

That dog is ridiculously fluffy. Pretty cute though.

[RKS]

I love GSDs but wasn't allowed to purchase that breed.

Well, his name is Deacon currently. That's what the breeder has been calling him. However, I am going to change his name to Thales, unless he seems really attached to Deacon when I get him.

Name him Bacon haha

Yet, she still breeds? For the money? Is it a purebred GSD? To better the breed? Does she show her GSDs? Breeds only conformation champions? Are you being asked to sign a spay/neuter/surrender contract? Have the dam/sire been tested?

The fact that she planned a litter for the holidays is a huge red flag.

Plenty of GSD rescues out there.

I see 10 pound shit piles in your near future....



That thing is going to be huge...

She breeds purebred German Shepherds, but from German Lines with a lineage that is attempting to breed out the huge hip dysplasia problem currently cropping up in Shepards. Also, she does Shutzhunde training. So she breeds for temperment for that training, and to improve the breed.

She shows her Shepherds.

She had a three page contract I had to sign. Outside of spay/neuter, also if at any time in the lifetime of the dog I decide I dont' want it, I give it back to her. In addition to other ethical stipulations.

Not sure what you mean about "tested"?

She didn't plan a litter to try to sell for the holidays. She is trying to breed a certain temperment. If she was breeding for the Holidays she could have easily have had 5 litters as she has 5 females.

She didn't have the sire on site (which is good, as that is another big red flag).


I hate this assumption that all pure bred breeders are bad and if you buy a pure breed you are bad as well.

I've never heard of the King Shepherd, but I've seen the mom in person, and dad in photos, and they are both normal sized. I think he's just big becaues the litter was so small.
