Posted by Jan Ryan

So it is time to finally come through on the family decision to get a German Shepherd pup but you have no idea how to find a German Shepherd breeder. Up to this point you probably never even gave looking for a German Shepherd breeder a second thought. They are out there and there are several good ways to find a reputable German Shepherd breeder that you will be very happy with and will supply you and your family with the dog that you want and will also be there for you for a very long time.

As simple as this may sound you can start your search by looking in the phone book. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that contrary to popular belief not all reputable business people advertise in the phone book. Some of the better breeders only do business with referrals from people they know and that may be better than anyone you can find in the phone book. But it is worth a try.

In the world of caring for your pet you will never get better advice than the advice you get from your vet. When you are looking for a German Shepherd breeder then your vet is probably one of the first people you want to ask for advice. If you currently have pets and have a business relationship with a vet then you can ask that vet for their referral to a German Shepherd breeder that they trust. If you do not have a vet then the best time to develop a relationship with a vet is when you are beginning to look for a breeder so that you can get that vet’s advice.

Many of the more reputable breeders will list themselves with a national breeder registry like the American Kennel Club or some other reputable organization. If you find a breeder on a registry you can then check out the registry’s breeding standards and know how that particular breeder prefers to breed dogs and decide if that is right for you or not.

It may not mean that breeders are not good German Shepherd breeders simply because they are not listed with a registry. After you search the registries you may want to also do a general search of the Internet. The Internet brings us all together and puts a world’s worth of information at your fingertips.

You can use that information to find the German Shepherd breeder that will work best with you and you may even luck out and find one with a website that you can look over to find information about their breeding schedules and usually a lot of cute pictures.

Using just one source to find your German Shepherd breeder is not a great way to go about finding the right one. You need to use a combination of resources to help you find the breeders that you will want to talk to.

Making the wrong decision about a German Shepherd breeder can be something you will have to live with for a very long time so make sure you do a detailed search and find the breeder that is right for you.
