Buying a German shepherd question?

Alright i know its 5 A.M, and i cant sleep. Anyway i really want to get a GSD pup. I’ve been warned not to buy dogs online because it could be a scam in webistes like puppyfind.com. I went to AKC.com and got a refural to a breeder here in Illinois where I live. What you do is pay online, but instead of shipping the pup to you(which I think is cruel), they hand-diliver you the pup. The breeders seem legit and it doesnt look like they are puppy millers. The reason I think so, is because they first make you fill out a long long long application, and after that you have to talk to them on the phone so they get to know the person you are. Since they are hand-delivered, they seem very professional. They also must care a lot about their dogs because i dont know any puppy millers that would do that kind of thing. And since i found out about the breeder through the AKC, the GSD should be good and healthy. So should I go through with the purchase?

Honestly? absolutely no way. Any so called “breeder” who offers you a puppy online and then offers to deliver the pup to you raises HUGE red flags. You should ALWAYS meet the mother of the puppies and be given full access to look around the breeding facilities. I would run a mile from any “breeder” who denies you access to either.

The last thing you want is a German Shepherd with a faulty temperament and/or health problems. When well bred, GSD’s are fantastic dogs but when badly bred, well, lets not even go there.

Please search for another breeder. Try contacting a German Shepherd breed club. They should be able to put you in touch with reputable German Shepherd breeders (who work/show and do full heath/temperament tests) in your area.

Good luck.
