That is what we have heard, but having only had 1 German Shepherd I figured I would come to you all for further advice. I appreciate all your help/opinions.

These are american lines and definitely not my cup of tea. I can't stand the over angulated skinny look, but I'm sure they are low drive, hence good for a family pet. Be sure to ask for titles and OFA results on the parents.

If you are looking at american lines, you should check in with the GSD club and get info on breeders in the area.

You could even go to the GSD club and see their dogs. It's always better to see the dogs before you decide what you want. They meet every Fri evening at the Animal Inn in Lake Elmo.

Well after some advice on this board and other research we have decided to get a male GSD puppy from this breeder. We spoke with her on the phone a couple times and visited her, her adult dogs, and her puppies last weekend. She was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering our questions/concerns. Her dogs were great looking and their temperament was even better. The puppies won't be ready for about 3 weeks so until then we'll be busy getting the house ready for a new puppy. Our current GSD is 9 years old so it's been a while since we had a puppy...time to get researching training methods again. Thanks for all of your help!

Are the parents OFA'd?

MN GSD Fan · 11-21-2012, 02:03 PM

Yes based on the advice we heard from this board we made sure they were. Thank you.
