german shepherd rescue colorado Buying a new German shepherd puppy from a German shepherd breeder represents a considerable investment, not just in money terms but in terms of love, time and the expectation of a lifetime of companionship. German shepherds, originally bred to be working dogs, still have the same traits that have made them the most prized breed of dog as both family pets and working protection dogs. They’re the most common choice of police K-9 units because of their stable temperaments and strong worth ethic, but their affectionate nature, desire to please and strong work ethic make them an ideal addition to a family, even those with small children.

The Internet has made it possible to buy puppies from a german shepherd rescue colorado shepherd breeder located anywhere in the country. That gives buyers a wider choice, but it also makes it easier for an unscrupulous breeder or puppy importer to pass himself off as a legitimate breeder. If you’re not careful when you’re looking for shepherd puppies for sale, you could fall prey to a scam artist, or find yourself with a dog who isn’t a pure bred shepherd, or who has health problems that weren’t disclosed or with no puppy at all. These tips can help you make sure you’re dealing with a reputable breeder when you’re looking for German shepherd puppies for sale.

Be suspicious if the breeder will only allow contact through email. Email is fine for initial contact, but once you have your initial questions answered, the breeder should provide a telephone number for contact so that you can talk to each other. If the breeder doesn’t offer a phone number, look elsewhere for a puppy. A quality breeder like Clayton Warichak is a registered German shepherd breeder in Wisconsin, and lists a telephone number for contact on his website.

Once you’ve settled on a puppy, ask the breeder to send additional photos. To ensure that they are current photos of an actual puppy – the one that you’re interested in buying – insist that the breeder include something specific in the photo, such as your name on a piece of paper. If the breeder refuses to provide current photos, or tells you that his camera is broken, do business with another breeder.

Ask questions – lots of questions. A reputable breeder will be happy to answer any questions you have about the puppy, other puppies he has sold, his rearing methods, the puppy’s sire or frankly, any other questions you might have about the puppy or his breeding history.

Be prepared to answer a lot of questions. Most people who breed german shepherd rescue colorado puppies want to be sure that their puppy is going to a good home, and that involves getting to know you. Your answers will help the breeder decide which of his puppies, if any, is the best fit for your home. The best dog breeders also won’t be afraid to tell you if they feel a shepherd isn’t the right breed for you, and many will be willing to suggest other breeds that will be a better fit for you, your lifestyle and your family.

Get it in writing. Once you and the German shepherd breeder have come to an agreement about the puppy you’re going to buy, make sure that you have a contract before you put up any money. The contract should state precisely which dog you are buying, whether you will receive registration papers, and which registration(s) it will be, what kind of health guarantee comes with your dog (hip guarantees are common with German shepherd pups) and under what conditions you can return the puppy or seek a reimbursement.

German shepherd puppies are the most popular breed of dog in the world for many good reasons. Avoid the scammers who take advantage of people who love shepherds by always buying your German shepherd puppies from a reputable, registered German shepherd breeder.
