German Shepherd dogs are one of the world's most widely spread and popular breeds, therefore there is a great number of so called 'pup mills', whose only concern is fast and big profit. 'Pup mills' lack concern for the well-being of the breed. This is what a prospective buyer should bear in mind in order to avoid buying a faulty or unhealthy puppy.
There are several factors, which can tell you something about the breeder. On your first visit to the breeder, pay attention to the condition in the house and to how dogs are feeling. If you notice large blocks of cages on the back yard, suggest another option. No breeder can possibly monitor the health of scores of puppies; therefore, you will almost certainly face health of show quality problems if you buy a puppy from this breeder. Pay attention to the dogs' overall appearance and frame of mind. Are they lively or gloomy? Is their coat gleaming, or is it dull and untidy?
The breeder's education is also important. Ask him or her about the history of the German Shepherd breed, its evolution throughout history, its advantages and disadvantages. Also, be ready to answer the same questions, because a true breeder will never sell a puppy to you if he or she considers you unfit for dog keeping. The breeder will scan you, your home and family in order to learn about your general attitude toward the breed, the attitudes in your family, as well as about other animals in your house.
Responsible breeders will never hush up drawbacks of his or her puppies or genetic disorders that ever occurred down the pedigree line. He or she will provide you with information about health care and basic diseases, which affect German Shepherds, and will stay in touch with you, because thus true breeders monitor the general condition of the breed.
