Informational Questions For A German Shepherd Breeder
|
You will be talking to a lot of breeders and this is necessary because any reputable breeder will expect you to talk to a lot of breeders. You are not going to hurt a good breeder's feelings by exploring options. Don't just settle for the first breeder you talk to, branch out and talk to more. You will be needing to feel comfortable talking with your breeder for many years to come so make sure you feel like you can really talk to the breeder you choose. Almost all reputable German Shepherd breeders are listed with one of the national breeder registries. The main United States registry is the American Kennel Club but there are other registries as well that have just as acceptable standards. Check out the breeding standards of the registry they belong to and see how they might affect you. If the breeder you are talking to is not listed with a registry then ask why and then ask what they use for breeding standards if they do not subscribe to the standards of a registry. When you get ready to take your new dog home a good breeder will give you all the information you can handle about raising your dog and what you will need to know to make sure it grows up healthy. A good breeder will also send you home with a sample of your dog's food so you know what you are supposed to be feeding your new dog. You may want to think twice about a breeder that does not offer you this vital information. It is not uncommon for a reputable German Shepherd breeder to offer a free six-week pet insurance policy for you and your new pup. The breeder gets these policies for free from insurance companies and you can use this policy with your pup's first vet appointment. If you find the policy helpful then the insurance company hopes you reinstate it before it expires while the breeder is just happy he was able to help you with your first vet appointment. It is so important to feel comfortable with your breeder so make sure you take the time to talk to them and really get to know them. If you feel comfortable and able to talk to a breeder then you may have found your breeder, but if you are not comfortable then you will need to move on because a breeder will be in your dog's life for years and a good relationship is very important.
