Tips To Find German Shepherd Breeders

By Mattie Knight


The German Shepherd has remained a common choice of pet for families because it offers a loyal nature, intelligence, and guard dog qualities. The increase in the demand for puppies has led to a large volume of advertising making the decision increasingly difficult. When looking for German Shepherd breeders, there are many factors that one should remain aware of to aid in making the best selection.

One must look for registration in breeders who have a vested interest in maintaining the bloodline and genetic standards of litters produced. Certification will provide proof of health and genetic tests that have been fulfilled for the strongest most desirable pets. The aim of such procedure is to minimize the formation of diseases such as hip weakness and poor physical characteristics involving aggression.

There are many adverts for German Shepherds, but the key is to find a breeder who is responsible and invested in the health of the canine. A backyard breeder is one who sells crossed pups, animals that are not tested for disease, and a mere interest in profits. These pets are seldom cared for in a high quality manner an in most cases, a breeding pair is required to produce litters with each season that will affect the wellness of pups and the parents.

When looking for a particular breeder, remain cautious of sellers who simply wish to generate a profit. One can protect against such circumstances by looking for registered sellers and a true investment into the maintenance of a health breed. This includes the provision of a high quality level of care that will ensure the healthiest results are produced.

A reliable breeder offers a contract with proof of genetic testing including its past bloodline. Proof of heritage allows one to see the purity of each generation and health measures ensure that pups are produced with healthy hips. German Shepherds are prone to genetic problems including hip dysplasia that will have a significant impact on longevity.

A health guarantee will be provided for sellers with proof of veterinary tests and genetic examinations. All puppies must be released with an indication that all appropriate vaccines have been delivered and deworming included. This will protect the puppy against contracting illness when exposed to a new environment and other pets.

Puppies will need to leave the parents at 10 to 12 weeks with breeders allowing a buyer to interact with pets to choose a suitable pup. For online orders, it is important to request updated images of both the puppies and the breeding pair to ensure that you will not be purchasing crossed puppies. This will ensure that the puppies are well formed and you do not fall victim to false advertising.

With the recommendations provided by a reputable breeder, buyers will improve their knowledge of the Shepherd and the care that puppies require. Research is important as it supports ethical breeding standards for the health of the animals produced. With improved knowledge and the selection of well bred puppies, it can aid in choosing a German Shepherd that is purebred and healthy.
