We're looking at getting a German in the near future. Any tips on where to look for a well bred on for working around our place? I don't want one that's bred just for looks. I want the brains and the heart that go along with it. Thanks.

ask kato where he got his and go from there. i had a more detailed post written, but lost it. google "german shepherd breeders" and look for those that breed for performance, not showring (conformation), awards.

Yes Kato!!!!! I did have a shep for just over 9 years! She was the BEST dog a person could hope for. She was so smart, witting, loving and docile! I believe she understood nearly everything I said to her. I had to put her down two summers ago.... Crying or Very sad

I still miss her terribly and love her as much as I did then. Her name was Riley and I bought her for $50.00 at Hwy. 44 and #59 her in MB. She was gorgeous, well built and gentle!!!! The best $50.00 I ever spent or probably ever will again!!!!

I'll send a pic soon!

Hey ranchwife - your husband does not like sheppards or just dogs period?
Sheppards are great with kids, animals and just about everything else. ....Although mine did bite my husbands motorcycle tire in play(as husband was driving it! LOL!!!!) She liked that game very much!!!! Laughing
I have two Golden Retrievers now - good dogs too!
