Hi,
I am looking for suggestions on a GSD breeder. I live is Southern California but don't mind driving. Trying to avoid flying the dog from out of state if possible. I prefer to meet the dog and see the facility.
This is my second GSD. Had a great female I received from a GSD rescue and trained into an amazing novice protection dog and great family dog. As nice as the rescue process felt at the time, the dog had abuse issues and a lack of socializing that made it hard to enjoy in an urban area with other dogs. I like a strong temperment or in my opinion more of the working dog GSD attitude. A few of my neighbors GSD dogs are so sweet, but seem more like a Golden Retriever in terms of disposition. Not really what I want. So I am looking for a breeder for GSD that can go to the lake with me, pretty active hikes, visit my mountain house, head to the beach and dog parks. Will enroll in obedience training and some novice protection training. Prefer smaller sized GSD dogs and probably a female. I understand I will probably have to join a wait list which is fine for the right puppy. Thanks for any help.
