I spoke to my breeder everytime I had a question. She sent me pictures often including pictures of the Sire and Bitch.

My pup is 19 months old, and she still e-mails me checking in on him. I'll send her pictures of him as he grows as well.

Sinister's Breeder~ Didn't speak to them until the day I went and bought him and picked him up, I found them in the paper, they were byb's. I do not have contact with them anymore and never will again.

Malice's Breeder~ Even though she wont be born until next year, I have been talking to the breeder where I am getting her from for over a year now, by the time I get her I will have known him for a little over 2 years.

Sigurd's breeder: I talked to them about 8 weeks before we brought Sigurd home. We got pictures weekly. Anytime I had a question, we would talk/e-mail. I visited the facility 2 times, first time I stayed well over 2 hours... we corresponded a lot for the first month or so of Sigurd being home (first time GSD owner), the breeder would listen and give me answers to my concerns. Haven't talked to her since December (breeder contacted us when they heard Sigurd had been badly attacked), but haven't really had a reason to since.

I got photos every two weeks or so and they would post videos on their facebook and youtube accounts of the puppies eating and walking around. I visited them four times (two hours one way) once to meet them and there dogs and decide if they were right for me,to pick out my Sonar, to pick up Sonar, and about a month after I had Sonar for a family reunion photo session. I will be heading up there again soon to have a family reunion again and let the breeders meet Sonar all grown up.

I still have great contact with them. I post recent photos and brags to their FB page all the time along with all their other clients. I found Sonar's half brother on their FB (different mother same father 6 months younger) and went and met them yesterday. It's really cool to meet the pups from the same father and see the similarities and talk about their quirks.

I heard from her via phone or email about weekly. Went and visited the litter a couple of times.
