[H2k]

Hello

WHAT??? Yes it's ok to get a male and a female from the same liter but you can't breed them.

What does if later I need to get a good puppy mean.

If you are going to breed them...then your puppies shouldn't share the same parents.

But if you are not going to breed them, then you can get littermates.

sorry for my bad english what i mean is if i need to breed them later ...

No you shouldn't breed two puppies from the same mother or the same father. Or even from the same grandparents.

I know you live in a different country but its no excuse.

If you are wanting a GSD to breed first learn about the breed. You don't even know there are different types of GSDs. All you could do is post a picture and say I want one like this.

No good breeder is going to sell you a dog thankfully

I don't want to sound harsh but...if you don't know that they shouldn't be related to breed them, maybe you shouldn't be breeding them. That's pretty basic stuff.

A lot goes into breeding dogs. To breed a dog correctly, it takes a lot of money. More than what you can probably sell the dogs for, IMO. I hope you think about just having a dog to raise and love. If you really want to go into breeding, check out some of the clubs and get as much information as possible first.

wow - while I agree with encouraging new commers to not breed , I find your remark about good breeders not selling to H2K a little harsh. One thing I really like about this forum is that people with little or no knowledge of the breed come on here asking questions and most people really help them to learn that breeding is best left to experts, with what I think is a pretty good success rate. I see members explaining the importance of good breeding and the negatives of breeding unworthy dogs.
While I am no expert , I would hope that experienced members that are will set new members straight in an honest non demeaning way.
H2K , you will find a breeder that will sell a pup to you , please though do not purchase your first puppy with the thought of breeding in mind, If you can find a good pup from a breeder now why would you think you cannot find one later down the road?

I absolutely agree. That was just mean.

If you want to become a breeder, do it right. You should talk to a good GSD breeder and get them to mentor you. See what breeders go through and see if you still want to do it.

You're right it was a little harsh.

This guy has 10 kennels set up for breeding. Apparently he's breeding cats too. He knows zero about GSDs and IMO has not shown he is going to put in any effort in learning more. He just wants to find(be told) a good breeder where he can get his dogs.

One puppy sent to him already died and he didn't bother taking it to a vet to find out why

I'm not going to be supportive of someone like that.
