Kennels Von Lotta?

[Jessiewessie99]

What do you think of these breeders?Good? Bad?They look reputable to me.I am looking for GSD breeders to keep in mind for the future.If I am looking at different breeders websites, what should look for?What are signs of a bad breeder?

Here is the link to the Kennels Von Lotta:

German Shepherd puppies for sale | German Shepherd breeders | Imported German Shepherd Puppies| German Shepherd Kennels

Tell me what you think.I basically want European Lines,I don't know which is better show or working.Basically, I want a dog thats a family oriented, loves kids(i know there will be kids of all ages)protective, loyal, sweet, gentle, fun, playful.Yes these are the traits of a GSD, but GSDs dont come with these traits.

Remember this is for future references only.Feel free to post any other breeders you of and trust.

Thanks in advance!

Jessi & Janni are nice females...good pedigrees. Their stud dog Yash, is the littermate brother to Yukon (a very good stud dog in Germany).
I have seen their dogs at some of the Conformation Shows.....nice.
Just do your home-work first!!! KNOW exactly what you are looking for...
*Future best wishes!

Does anyone know about these breeders?

Is it best to email the breeders about their dogs, and what qualities there dogs have?I was thinking about that.Or should I wait til I am about the buy a dog?

Here is my advice.....
Read about the breed, write down & ask questions, keep a "picture" record of the type of GSD you like, spectate at several GSD "events", be realistic in your expectations, know your budget, interview breeders, ask MORE questions.......most important....don't buy any living creature on impulse. You will be responsible for their life......

No. But their website is grusome. Too much information, hard to see, hurts the eyes, hard to read, maybe too much to ask at 12:30PM.

A bad website says nothing bad about the breeder. Just the website is too busy and hard to follow.

Picture record, such as what I want my dog to look like?

[robinhuerta]

Yeah...sort of.
Everyone has a specific "type" they find appealing.
Temperament should always be first priority though...
Know what you "want" from the breed.....temperament, characteristics, looks, etc....then look for breeders that "specialize" in those same attributes.
Don't be in a rush....take your time.....research.

Rescues and shelters are also places I will be looking at.Not just breeders.I have not always trusted breeders, and I don't wanna pay an arm and a leg for a dog.Rescues and shelters will be the first place I look.I work at a shelter, I know those dogs, they are not perfectly bred for a certain thing.Some of the best dogs come from rescues or shelters.Some people bring their dogs to shelters and give them because they aren't perfect.My dog Tanner is from a shelter, my previous dog Max is from a pound.If I do chose from a breeder, I want them to be a great, reputable, respected, and qualified.Even though it seems ridiculous to pay 1k and up for a dog, when I can get a dog thats the same or better for $150, with everything that a 1k and up dog comes with.Breeders are just an option for me, in case I decide to buy from a breeder.I may change my mind in the future.
