Pricing

I just visited a breeder and there was three different prices. One for non papers, one for papers, and one if you wanted one with breeding rights. I am just wondering if this is common practice. Everything else about the breeder was good to go. They showed me paper work, the daddy dog and just loved to talk about their dogs. All the dogs were well behaved and good disposition.

No, this is not a common practice.

So should I avoid this breeder?

Things to look for in a 'Responsible' Breeder Look through these links. They are a good place to start when looking for a good breeder. Where are you located?

Wow, no not common and not good. Check out the link provided above.

What "type" of GSD are you looking for? For what purpose are you seeking a GSD? Sport,working, companion/active pet?

Run, don't walk, to the exit! Do your research here on this forum, invest some time reading on the subject, and you'll spend less money to be much happier in the end.

looking for a GSD as a comapion. Prefer working lines. As far as I know they do not have a web site?????

A good breeder doesn't have to have a website. Can you find any of their dogs on pedigree database?

Why would a breeder charge less not to give papers? That makes zero sense.

At the very least, do they title or OFA their dogs?

If the breeder isn't giving you papers with the pup than that is not a reputable breeder. Go look and support a breeder thats bettering the bred, remember where you spend your money is what you support.
