This is difficult because good bitches cost a lot of money. And if you find one that the breeder is selling, usually its because she didn't work out for one reason or another...brings up the problem...

All those things are very subjective...

They depend on the person's experience, amount of dogs seen, and mostly the extremes that they have witnessed.

It doesn't sound like she wants any responsibility of the dog. He did something, she didn't want to clean up his (or in her mind your) mess. When it comes to dog feces...I understand when some people...

More than likely he's younger than what you believe. He's way too small to be that age, and just looking at the picture you have as your avatar I believe he's younger.

The problem with buying a dog from someone without really getting to know them is that you really can't see if they're being truthful or not. Sure...they became your mentor, but the fact that you...

I'm pretty sure that increased angulation actually makes it EASIER for the dogs to trot. When it comes to WGSL or ASL, many times those breeders really focus on movement and the dogs can actually...

Here's the thing...I was in the same shoes as you, and didn't get a dog from titled parents. He was also $500 because I refused to pay $1000+ for "champion lines" or Schutzhund titles on the parents....
