how many of you , like people to come visit your girl before she's had her litter , i always do because i think that they can see the girls nature but do say she might be a little more guarded when you come to see the pups, it's just my personal prefrence

i have always done it, and i think it's a good way to get to know if the people are right for a pup, on more than 1 occation i have told them that they can't have one

it's really hard shelley. but out of the 9 pups Tilly had, i made a rotten mistake with just 1 of them. never forgive myself for that one either.
although she did eventually find a happy home. and its so nice to be still intouch with most of them FOR BREEDERS 867525

im not a breeder but when getting my working dogs i always knew the sire and dam i wanted a dog from kiera is from the police and rostam parents are both imports i knew i wanted a dog off Conan hes a amazing dog and when i met the bitch i knew i wanted a dog

Subject: Re: FOR BREEDERS Tue Aug 11, 2009 10:52 pm

no not before pups are born any one interested will be invited to see pups and mother when 4 weeks, we access them then and there informed of contract and endorsments put on pedigrees, if not happy with that arrangement they will not get one anyway.
We also ask them for all contact details and address at this stage .
We then take a drive uninvited to check out address to check if its suitable for the dogs if not thay also dont get a pup(after all a high rise flat aint for a gsd)

hmmm i know you say that kenny but if that said person walks their dog 4 times a day for at least a hr a day. hes only going home to sleep and rest. bit like putting your dog out in a kennel really isnt it.

our house is quite big but all my dogs do in the house is sleep as what eles are they suppose to do lmao

Subject: Re: FOR BREEDERS Wed Aug 12, 2009 9:54 am

Fazza the reason for that is that most councils dont allow dogs(no pet policy) in high rise areas at least up here anyway.
Forgot to mention we also check that family do not work full time leaving pup unsupervised most of the day.
We also ask that they bring any children with then they have to see how they act around dogs

Subject: Re: FOR BREEDERS Wed Aug 12, 2009 12:42 pm

i ask them when they 1st phone about work, if they are wanting to train and the benefits of training, about children , 1 of my puppy buyers turned up on monday with 6 kids not all hers lol, if they own a shep before, a good book to buy, about my endorsments and contract explaining everything, i ask them as much as possible and honestly answer any question they ask me,

Subject: Re: FOR BREEDERS Wed Aug 12, 2009 3:43 pm

yea know what you mean if its council kenny thought you ment if they owned lol

everytime ive gone to get a pup i have been interigated *sp* lol

wen we got Rostam it was the funniest thing ever my sister was sooo scared as some of the dogs were not friendly and he was showing me them working. i baited for Rostams mum she was amazing FOR BREEDERS 867525

Hi all, here is my take on it.
We invite perspective puppy buyers to meet the mother and the rest of our dogs, it gives them some idea of what to expect regarding their future puppy also lets them see the characters of not only the mother but the rest of the family, I also like to see their reaction around the older dogs.

They then come back to see mother and puppies at 4 weeks old, some sooner although there is not much to see but they have a cuddle of them.

Most people that have bought puppies from us have become good friends, and have to say through our dogs we have made some of the best friends ever.

I like breeders who like to stay in touch with the pups new owners FOR BREEDERS 729386

I think it's bad when they have the attitude, pck your pup, give us the money and best of luck, bye, bye. But there are a lot out there who are like that, I know many people who have never been in contact with the breeders since having the pup.
