Questions Reputable Breeders Ask Potential Adoptive Families
Be prepared for the breeder to ask questions of you. Do not be
offended by this, but rather take it as a sign that the breeder you are
dealing with cares about the breed as a whole and the future of the
pups in question.
Some of the questions you may be asked are "Have you owned dogs before? If so, what breeds, and what happened to them?" The breeder may want to know if you have any other dogs now, and if so, what breeds and how many.
You may be asked about the type of home you have, if you rent or own, and if your yard is fenced. Other questions may cover whether you keep your dogs in the house or kenneled and how you view them within your family structure.
You may also be asked if you're interested in breeding. Or what your training goals are, who you'll be training with, and what titles (if any) you've put on dogs in the past. You will probably be asked you have any prior experience with German Shepherds.
You may be asked to provide references from veterinarians, trainers, or breeders you have dealt with before.
Do not be offended by the questions a breeder asks of you. Rather, take them as an indication that the breeder is responsible and ethical. Ethical Breeders are very careful about who they are giving their pups to.
You should also feel as though you are arranging an adoption of a new member of the family as opposed to buying a product.
The absense of questioning should act as a warning sign to go elsewhere for a pup.
