Black GSD breeder in Colorado

DeltaAlpha · 06-16-2011, 10:01 PM

Hi All,

I'm thinking about adopting a new puppy in about 1 year. I would like to get a solid black male. Does anybody know of any black GSD breeders in or near Colorado?

GSD breeders, if they are responsible will not breed for color. That said, most GSD's that are black are from working lines. I can think of a few good breeders that have black pups in litters, but you need to be certain that the bloodlines are compatible to your living situation. There are good/great breeders that have black dogs, and the dogs are worthy of wonderful homes. But these wonderful homes with these dogs need a place where they can shine and show why they were bred, and the color isn't their reason for being placed on this earth. They need a place where they can show their genetics, not why they turned out black.

Hi! my awesome oldest son lives in Ft. Collins

My breeder has some solid blacks at times. Nice balanced dogs. Sw NE area. Not too far from you...

Are you wanting to adopt a puppy? Or purchase one from a breeder?

Why are people here so harsh on new folks? Maybe try being a friend? People asking about a pup A YEAR IN ADVANCE are trying to be responsible...we are not all born geniuses....

I inquired with alot of breeders over 2 years ago, I knew I would want to get a pup in about 2 years, and started inquiring, guess I was just lucky...no one bashed me

And I have dog experience.....

i agree...how about assuming new people have good intentions? We all didn't start out knowing how to pick out a breeder. Its nice if people come on here to find one and knowledgeable people point them in the right direction. I wish i had found this forum before getting my first gsd.

I swear I've read here 100 times that a person should go to a breeder and tell the breeder what he/she is looking for and the breeder can match you up with the right dog.

So what's wrong with someone having a preference with color?

I was a bit confused about the topic line and my inner grammar police wants to red pen it to read "Breeder of Black GSDs in CO", but that's just me.

Having said that, OP, you need to first decide what you hope to do with the dog. Schutzhund, SAR, family pet, agility, rally, whatever you are looking for. Then I think you will get a good starting point for finding a breeder. There are breeders who have more blacks than average so you can find a black pup, you may just have to wait a bit longer. One of our current males is a solid black and the breeder has already let us know she wants to use him to breed (once he finishes getting his titles,etc) because she happens to like the blacks herself. Of course, that isn't all she breeds.
