With their popularity boosted by Rin Tin Tin in his television series, people have fallen in love with this breed. A breed that is used by police and military for guarding, protecting and search and rescue assignments, they were also reliable seeing-eye dogs that efficiently assisted the disabled as well as become very loving companions. If you are interested in getting a German Shepherd for your family, then the first step is to research on what makes this canine genuine. The breed standard will say it all: These dogs have a noble look with a sturdy and lean body that is slightly longer than taller. They have long muzzles, pointed ears and almond-shaped eyes. Necks, shoulders and legs are strong and muscular with a bushy tail. The accepted coat color is black and tan, sable or just black in three hair versions: shorthaired (sometimes called rough-coated), medium-haired and longhaired. Once you think you have what is needed to go on your search, then start surveying the area. As a German Shepherd is watchful, do the same and be aware of what makes a good breeder. You must remember that quality is a top priority when it comes to getting a purebred.

  • Do his best to cover up flaws with excuses and wild stories about the exceptions that don’t exist
  • Not be able to produce some or all needed documents for health clearances etc

  • Stick to the breed standard and maintain its temperaments of being fearless, intelligent and protective
  • Give you all the necessary papers and registration assistance
  • Will make sure you understand how to properly groom and care for the dog
