looking for breeder in NM or CO (or SW?)

dcbnm · 10-14-2011, 11:40 AM

We are live in central NM and are looking for a responsible breeder in NM or possibly CO. I have spent considerable time researching and if anything I'm more confused than ever. I didn't know it was this hard to get a dog

We are looking for a family pet who exhibits the qualities we love - loyalty, steadfastness, intelligence. I do not care whether the puppy is german working, german show, or american show lines, we are interested in temperament and health. We do not want a dog with a high prey drive or a dog who is either aggressive or shy. We will never show this dog. We will take him to obedience classes and possibly continue on with obedience/agility trials (this part may be more of a dream since we have never done anything like that before). I really like the appearance of the "straight-back" dogs and am concerned with the dogs who have the very angulated "roach-back" but when I looked up "straight-back" I saw many sites breeding extra-large dogs which seems just as worrisome. I am looking for a structurally sound dog who is not in any of the extremes. I do want someone who certifies the hips and preferably someone who tests for DM. I have already contacted the local german shepherd club so have a few names from them. Any input is appreciated!

Do you want a puppy?
I know someone here in AZ that has a female around 4 that is spayed and has OB and PSA PDC. She is raised in the house with 3 kids and other dogs. She would be great for agility.

Im sorry, I made a mistake, she is 2 years old. I have seen the dog in person and met with and seen her in trial and think she would be a great fit. Great dog for agility. Fed a raw diet and only bottled water (yeah her owner is a freak like that...lol) Dogs live and eat better than I do. PM me if you want more info.
DM tested Neg.

We would definitely look in AZ or TX. We go up to CO regularly which is why I thought about it. Anyplace in reasonable driving distance for Alb. We are looking for a puppy. We may consider a male rescue as well and have spoken several times to the local GSD rescue person. We have two females - a springer and a golden so I think a male will be a better fit. I've looked at every breeder I can find regionally who has an internet presence BTW but have not contacted anyone yet as I prefer to have some information first. I'd be happy if anyone with positive or negative information sends me PM.

Grand canyon K9 is a great choice. I know Barbara personally and have three of her dogs. I do know she has one available male puppy at this time. Terrific breeder.

Have you found your pup yet? ** post removed by Admin**

Cunningham,

You need to read the forum rules. You are NOT allowed to use the board to advertise dogs/puppies for sale.

LOL...you just need to learn how to advertise in a subtle way-thats all
