Looking for pup-Illinois

kimi · 07-29-2010, 07:57 PM

We already have an 8 yr old GS lady, and we are looking to add a pup to our family. I have been trying to research breeders, and just really having a hard time.
Is there anyone that can help me find some breeders locally...

I want a male, and I want him to be a family dog. Nothing to show or anything.. Just a family dog with a good temp.. Is anyone willing to help guide me in my area??

tia

Here's a thread you might find very helpful when searching --> Things to look for in a 'Responsible' Breeder

Thank you for your input. We already have a gs, she is 8 years old, and we would like to add a boy to our family... The struggle we are having is finding a reputable breeder that isn't charging $3500 for a puppy. We are just looking for a companion dog for our whole house, and someone to go with us to Grandma's house. We don't feel we are in need of all the titles and that -but would still like a dog with stable lines and such.
I have been re-educating myself on the process of finding a pup to match us, and the right breeder-but the first time around, we ended up with a breeder who was pretty highly recommended, and our pup at 9 months old was diagnosed with SEVERE hip dysplasia-the breeder offered to take her back, well, by then we were attached, how could we give her up.. So, it was a battle and we were very dis-satisfied with her. Other than that, our pup has been FABULOUS. We couldn't have asked for a better girl, honestly, anyone who knows her will say the same thing.
But, we don't know anyone who has a gsd, so how to do this????

There are several members on the board that have pups/dogs from Bill and Jen. PM me if you would like more information

Couldn't be happier about my pup and the support from them!

Has anyone ever had any dealing with this breeder?

Check out these guys, not only they're breeders but they also offer discounted training classes if you buy from them. I know someone that purchased with them and they were more than happy.

kimi - did you read the article I posted? I think with this breeder that you mention I would have a LOT of questions. Their website doesn't answer many questions I'd have and want answered.

It is a cool picture but I wouldn't recommend a breeder based on a picture alone.

Just me though. There are more important things to consider than looks (which should probably be the last thing).

These are mostly in or near Illinois but you'll have to look through them for yourself to see if they have the type of dogs/lines/breeding goals you're interested in.
