Safety and Inquiries from Your Breeder Before Purchase of Your German Shepherd
Before buying any dog, German Shepherd, or any other breed, from a breeder, there are certain questions that are quite important to ask.
These include, but are not limited to asking the breeder to show you their credentials, as well as the credentials of the breed, to prove that the breed is ‘pure’. No self respecting and genuine breeder will be in any way upset or offended. In fact, they will almost always expect these questions from you. It will also show them that you are a serious individual, who cares about your new dog.
At the end of the day, while they are making a living from breding dogs, it should be secondary to them, and they should normally be more concerned about the dog;s welfare. If this is seen to be the case, this will prove they are interested and care for the dogs.
Another aspect of this process is that you can meet the breeder, and see the dogs at their first home.
You should be checking that it looks clean, and that the dog looks healthy and happy.
In fact, when we got our dog, we chose her on the basis, amongst many other things, that she ran up to the gate first, and was the fastest in the whole litter. She showed us she was, (and still is) very spirited and lively. She is a healthy and happy dog.
These are some of the things to look out for when speaking to and meeting your dogs and breeder.
You can tell if things ‘look right’ or not. A breeder with clean premises and healthy looking dogs cares about their dogs.
They will also tend to produce happy and healthy dogs.
This is explained in much more detail in the German Shepherd Guide Book here.
