Need help choosing a Puppy...thoughts on this breeder?
Hi Everyone!
I've been lurking here for awhile. Lots of great information. My husband and I have been thinking of getting a GSD for about 3 years now. He's owned a Lab and poodle, and I, an Italian Greyhound. Can someone give me some thoughts on this breeder and her available pups? She currently has 3 puppies available -"Nadya" is just over 12 weeks, and the other two are from another litter, at just over 4 weeks old. Since we are first time GSD owners, we want to make sure we select the right breeder. We won't be able to see the puppies as they are too far... Thanks in advance for your input  German Shepherds, German Shepherd Puppies, German Shepherd Puppy For Sale, German Shepherd Breeder, German Shepherd Dogs, German Shepherd Stud Dog, West German German Shepherds, German Shepherds California, West Coast German Shepherds |

I like this about Nadya: "She is doing well with her crate training and sleeps through the night. . ."
Breeder appears good based on their website. Have you been out to visit yet?

There are scads of WGSL breeders between the west coast and the east coast. . . . what drew you to this one in particular?

Why not give the forum an approximate location for yourself and find someone closer ? Carmen Carmspack Working German Shepherd Dogs |

I think Nadya is cute and it looks like the breeder titles/OFAs so - that's good but I'm sure others will have more input on bloodlines, etc if you know what you're looking for.
Personally, I would be apprehensive about getting a 12+ week old pup that I was never able to meet in advance or meet the parents or breeders. But, that's me - I know LOTS of people purchase dogs and ship/import them. A couple thoughts I had are: - Are you looking more showline or working line - what do you want your dog to excel in? - I am SURE there are some great breeders closer to where you live...so, if you wanted to get on a waiting list I'm sure you could - How old/young do you want a puppy to be? Some people want a young puppy and other's want an older one... |

Serene,
I don't know the breeder you have listed in the OP.....but "Zamp" the father of the puppy mentioned, is a nice & decent dog of WGSL. Best wishes!

looks like a good reputable breeder to me, and I think you will be happy with Nadya, especially since she has already begun her crate training. That'd be a big plus to me.

if your on the east coast, I agree, there are LOTS of closer breeders and if you like Zamp, I'm sure there are ones using him around here
