Thinking about getting a puppy

great choice...my favorite dog by far.

when I bought my last one I spent alot of time researching local breeders and what made the decision for me was finding a breeder that specialized in working dogs and not show dogs. Show dog breeders don't give two shits about hip displacia etc. and typically are only concerned with what your dog will look like for a time span of only a couple of years between ages 1 and 2 or 3. Working dog breeders are more concerned about longevity. My last breeder advertised that they specialized in breeding for straight backs and guaranteed no hip issues outside of uncontrolled circumstances for 5 years.

you look at a show Shepherd and you will see exactly what I am talking about here. they are posed to have their front legs out straight and their heads held high and their back legs almost tucked under them and their ass down low. Looks great but now breeders will try to exaggerate that look.

other recommendation would be to find a place that breeds or trains police dogs. They will often sell the puppies that don't graduate top of their class!

good luck...post pics when you get him/her!
