Anyone know a reputable GSD breeder
 

In a perfect world it would be the Monks of New Skete....

I think it's going to be the next pup as we had one before that was unfortunately short lived.

GSD?

German Shepherd Dog

I'm sure you know this, but I'll give you my two cents anyway. Be real careful selecting your breeder. This breeds has been nearly ruined by overbreeding and "show" line breeding.

Even the German police are starting to use other breeds

When I went looking for a dog I wanted a German Shepherd. I was warned that the are so inbreed at this point you never know what you are getting.
The police have started using other dogs because they are becoming more and more unpredictable and leave the handler with little or no control when the snap.
As good as these dogs have been over the years I felt it was not worth putting one with my kids, so I bought a mutt instead.

I love my GS. She is about 9 years old. She has had problems with her hips, we ended up giving her injections a couple years ago, after a month, she seem to be really good... most gental dog I ever have known.

I'm looking at a breeder that supplies the police canine unit. Troy, perhaps you can run this kennel name by the fellow you spoke of ? :mrgreen:

Yes, backyard breeders have ruined many breeds. :evil: One of the most important things we believe in is having a lifetime temperament and common health problem guarantee. That of course comes with a price. :eek: In the big picture of things tho, not really.
