[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi there,

We are considering getting a German Shephard puppy - our family's first and long-awaited dog. I have done a fair bit of research and understand that the breed requires a lot of training early on, as well as fairly regularly in early adult years, as well as exercise. My kids are 8, 9 1/2 and 12.

That said, I also understand that some breeders may focus on producing working dogs, while others claim they breed dogs with more family-friendly temperament. I am not sure how accurate these breeder descriptions are and would absolutely love breeder recommendations from folks with small children, who found a puppy that, with appropriate training, thrived in their family environment.

Thanks![/quote]

It’s never a good idea to produ ce dogs that go against they’re standard breed purpose and temperament. They are meant to be territorial working dogs. Another example are poodles that were originally bred for hunting, now they are all floofy, high-strung and have super sensitive tummies. [/quote]
