I'm actually looking to get a German Shepherd, it's been a few years since I have owned one and I'm starting to look for a good breeder now.
Any tips on what to look for with regards to a good breeder? I'm not looking to have a show dog, just a working dog. Some of the working dogs I've been finding online are going anywhere from 600-2500. I don't really care about titles or anything, just want a dog that has a good temperment, healthy and can teach to play some games like I did with my old dog.
I had a GSD back in my teens and my 20s, I just love the breed.
there was one time when I was 17? or so, I had him at a fenced in school yard throwing the ball around for him to fetch and this guy in his 40s or so was drunk as shit came up to the fence, and talking crazy BS to me how he was going to take my dog and nonsense, I was just ignoring him cause I didn't wanna deal with it, then the ball rolled past me, i went to pick it up, dude raised his hand like he was about to hit me and my shepherd bolted towards us and jumped into the air, damn near bit the guys hand off. after that dude just talked about calling he cops because I had a dangerous animal lol
So guys, any tips?
