![]() ![]() I agree completely which is what is making me hesitate with HausReid. Wow thank you so much for the responses guys, it means a lot. I would have to mee them first, obviously, and luckily for me. I know I wouldn't regret a dog from either of them. I fall in love with both of their dogs and couldn't choose. I think I hold her and Zeder-Kamme on equal grounds. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the breeding dilemma is sorted out. She is another one of the ones I would gladly go to for a second dog if I decided I wanted another. The trouble with waiting until June is that I would have to leave the puppy when I went off to have my wedding and I don't want to do that when the dog is young. Theishof I also adore, though it's really unfortunate that a litter is not currently available. I called a couple of her references and one of them said he did put a dog from her under protection training and the dog did splendidly. I would gladly buy a pup from any of her dogs, Nancy was informative and very warm to talk to on the phone, like a long-lost friend. I think so far Zeder-Kamme is the most balanced among things I want. They just don't scream to me "FIRST PUPPY I WANT :wild:". He's a great guy and I think in the future I would purchase a dog from him, but I'm not having that emotional connection with any of his dogs so far. Why do I have to love every breeder I've been talking to, life is just so unfair.Ĭlick to expand.I agree completely which is what is making me hesitate with HausReid. Has anyone purchased a puppy from Zeder-Kamme? This is the least important, but it will factor in if I'm torn. How prepared the breeder will leave me whether the breeder offers a packet with information, tips, supplies, etc.Must have enough drive for protection training, but not so much drive that I can't handle the dog. I must stay under $2000, and preferably be closer to $1500. These are the five factors that are most important to me: Choosing between them would have to occur after I hear Zeder-Kamme's pricing and meet both of them in person. The trouble is that Zeder-Kamme seems to better prepare the owner, and lives in the same area. I also want to hold out and wait until I know if Theisof's breeding worked out and I can reserve a pup because I'm absolutely in love. ![]() I have to meet Grunheide and Banach before making a decision. I'm not sure so far whether to go with HausReid (that's what my gut is telling me to do) or to wait it out and pick someone with a litter in the Spring. With Vom HausReid, I can take a puppy home in two weeks and I can see them before I make a decision to purpose, though they may not be the "look" I like. My favorite right now is a tie between Theishof, Zeder-kamme, and Vom HausReid. I need to know if I like the people behind them. I'm contacting Vom Banach tomorrow (today?). Theishof doesn't have an address on their website, just a town name. iGuard International (Otis Orchards, WA) 282 miles Updated list (in order of closest to furthest): My fiance is very hesitant about iGuard because they are above my price range. When it comes to saddle/blanket backs it's between iGuard, Zeder-Kamm and Theishof. I'm not sure if I can wait until June/July for a puppy though because the timing would be bad. :headbang:Īs many of you guys said I would, I absolutely love Theishof and their dogs. I found a forum on some other site where people were making fun of the second link, but they didn't specifically say why there was anything wrong with the breeder.Īrgh. I not only need to know if it's reputable or not, but what makes it reputable. They have a LOT of puppies available right now. German Shepherd Breeder, AKC Purebred German Shepherd Puppies for Sale in Seattle Washington - Cherokee Shepherds I know nothing about breeders and I was wondering if someone could tell me what to look for in one, or which one I should trust. The other is 30 minutes away, but they don't really seem that reputable. One of them is a 4-5 hour drive away and only has two puppies left until Spring. I've been torn between two breeders in my state. I used to dog-sit for most of my family and friends to make quick cash when I was younger and I've been with dogs my whole life. It's my first dog, though I have plenty of experience with dogs in the past. I'm on my mission to buy a German Shepherd. Hi, in my search for information I stumbled across this forum. ![]()
