German Shepherds - Pictures - A True Breeder
German Shepherds will bring you the joy of a purebred dog ownership if you have obtained a puppy from a responsible breeder. True breeders strive for sound bodies, excellent health and outstanding temperament in their German Shepherds. All dogs bred should be OFA certified for hips, elbow and cardiac functions.
Responsible breeders can answer buyer's questions, however dumb they might seem to them. They place their puppies only in suitable loving homes. They breed German Shepherds because they admire this breed and work toward contributing to the improvement of the breed. True breeders guarantee that their pups are free from genetic diseases common in their breed. They are likely to replace the puppy if a disease crops up.
To locate a reputable breeder, you should visit German Shepherd clubs. These are the best sources of information about responsible breeders. It is advisable to have your first interview with a breeder without actually seeing the puppies. It might sound strange, but it is wise if you take into consideration the effect cute pups have on people when they look more like furry bundles. Ask to see both the sire and the dam of the litter and take a moment to assess their appearance and temperament. If you do not like the way they look or they seem aggressive or shy, this is the way their pups are likely to look and behave in the future. Breeders of German Shepherds must be responsible for the dogs they produce.
