hello all, im looking to get myself a new puppy.. ive been waiting for years to get back into GSDs..have done a lot of searching and have come across a pup that i very much like.. he has the look im looking for..ive looked into his pedigree..and.. 3 of the other puppies i have looked at..all have the same lineage as this guy. so, i feel like its a sign... plus, this pup is reasonably close to me. and..i didnt actually find him..he was sent to me..so.. its kinda like looking for love in all the wrong places..LOL.. i turn around and there he is! he's caught my eye.. but.. here's the thing. he's 13 weeks!! ive always gotten my pups betweengst 6-8 weeks. that 5-6 weeks difference is crucial IMO for proper puppy bonding time. a lot can happen in 6 weeks with a pup. plus, the mother and father are not on site, there at a different location now. i typically get to meet and greet the parents when purchasing.. but i may not be able to this time round. so, my question is.. is 13 weeks to far out? i really really like the dog. ive talked with the breeder several times now.. i feel good about them as per our conversations which i did not initiate the topic, he and i have very similar backgrounds and thoughts for what type of dog we want or wanted. they do not do show or competitions and what have you..which is fine with me.. i feel like the pedigree is fine by my standards..so what to do.. go or no go!! thats the only thing holding me up at this time.. had i found him at 8 weeks..it would have been a no brainer.. thanks in advance
