I do rescue and will take a max of two rescue dogs at once, regardless of age or sex.
I also have a high end GSD, meaning I paid a low 4 figures for Timber as a pup.
I am wondering if any other rescue folks are in my situation. For example, my so called high end GSD is protective and intelligent. If Timber ever died there is no question in my mind, I would go back to my breeder to get another European German Shepherd male.
However, I was going to get a female dog from the same breeder, whom I have a lot of confidence in. Then my son said, "what is wrong with your rescue, Paris." The answer was nothing, aside from the name, so now I have another forever dog.
Beyond that, despite adopting Paris I promised my rescue group I would continue to serve as a rescue for the GSD breed.
When we do home visits people will sometimes ask me about Timber, the more expensive dog. So I try and give them the postive and negative about both dogs, but on balance the high end GSD, Timber, is my favorite.
Timber's biggest drawback is he is to protective. The rescues, not quite as smart, but mostly very friendly and they do make nice pets.
Both Timber, and the rescue dogs are companion dogs.
Does anyone on the rescue board have both types of dogs, and would be willing to provide comments.
