Giant German Shepherd Breeders

Finding Good Giant German Shepherd Breeders

Giant German Shepherds were first bred in the 1890s when they were crossbred with the Doberman and the Swedish pup. The result was a full-fledged strong and eager working dog that could track down and retrieve its prey from any direction.

Today, there are still German Shepherd breeders in existence, but most are only in business to make a profit by selling puppies. Because of this, you may want to consider buying from a reputable breeder who has a good reputation and is willing to work with you to match your individual personality traits and lifestyle.

When shopping around for giant German shepherd breeders, you must check the price very carefully. There should not be any question as to whether or not the breeder is offering the best price possible. All of his paperwork should be presented for you to review before you decide to purchase. If there are questions about the breeding history of the dog, ask those also.

Check for quality when you buy from a breeder.

A good shepherd comes equipped with good genes. However, just like humans, the more times you buy a dog, the more it needs to be exercised and the better its habits become. Ask the breeder about the exercise the animals get each day. Do they take good care of the animals?

Ask for the origin of the dogs. You should know where the Giant German Shepherd came from and where it is currently living. This can give you an idea as to the overall health of the breed and its temperament. It will also help you decide if it’s a good fit for you and your family.

When it comes to puppies, make sure to ask the breeder if he or she buys from the pet store.

In most cases, pet stores do not do proper breeding, so the puppies you see in that store are not true Giant German Shepherds. Instead, the pet store may have been a place the owners can go and pick up a puppy that was discarded by another owner. That means there is an element of dealing with a puppy that was not purebred. Even worse, that puppy may have been abused and/or abandoned.

Also, be aware that just because a particular breeder shows a puppy in a good light doesn’t mean it’s a good dog to get as a pet. To check, thoroughly examine the animal to see if it has any genetic defects, such as heartworms. If it does have these, then you don’t want to buy them. Rather, you want to find a breeder who sells good German Shepherds.

When you speak to the breeder, check the history of the dog.

A lot of times, these are the dogs who are mistreated and abused, so they have a history filled with neglect. It’s a good idea to ask about this, so you know what kind of pet you are getting ahead of your investment. Ask if there are any previous complaints or problems with the dog, and you will be able to tell whether or not it’s the right breed for you.

Finally, you will want to know about grooming and vet bills. Ask how much they’ll take care of the dog for you. Ask how often the dog will need to go to the vet and for shots, and if the breeder carries the necessary paperwork. You don’t want to pay for shots and other procedures you don’t really need. If you get all of this in writing, you can feel comfortable bringing the dog home knowing it’s a good fit for you and your family.
