Help finding a GSD like this one! (picture&video)

Gladi · 04-19-2011, 04:59 PM

Hi I really really want a German Shepherd dog like this one: Twitpic - Share photos and videos on Twitter there's also a video of him here: canineextreme.com > adult dogs > Charlie

I love him because he is so sweet, good tempered and my ideal type of dog/ color for a German Shepherd, but most good breeders I've contacted sell strictly show line GSD's they are too big, their coat is too dense and red and coarse and they are very aloof (from personal experience)
And on the other hand working line breeders sell dogs that are fit like pit bulls, too tough for what I'm looking for.

Can you please help identifying what dog this is and where I could buy one! I would really appreciate it!

My rescue gets approximately eleventy-seven GSDs that look like this per year. They're really common. Check local rescues and shelters.

To me that dog appears to be american showline. Rescue would be an excellent way to go.

If you do go with a breeder though, you need to determine what you want in the dog and what you are going to do with the dog, not which look of the lines you prefer best. Good luck!

He doesn't look American to me. Most likely German Show Lines, but he looks very young in the pictures.

Well I searched you rescue and found an adorable GSD, Turbo, do you know if the rescue ships if I cover all shipping costs?

Hi! your avatar is adorable!
Thank you! yes I want him to protect me and be my companion and be sweet! I've been checking out rescues but i'm out of sate so it's hard to rescue.

I have never heard of a rescue that ships dogs. They generally require home visits as well, so you usually have to be located within a reasonable driving distance or there must be a trusted volunteer located near you to do the visit. But you still have to visit the dog yourself and arrange transport. They won't just ship a dog to you that you like. Where are you located? Lets go from there.

If you can go up to your User CP and add your GENERAL location you may be able to get more specific recommendations for your needs. Hard for me to recommend a dog in my area of PA if you live in Australia (well, hard for you to get the dog, not for me to recommend

)
