Dog question...

[MED]

Thanks for that MED- I have an old friend who I wish I was still in contact with, who's mom breeds GSDs that are of German blood line (I know exactly what you're talking about). 95% of the GSDs she breeds though go to either the DoD or LE agencies around the SW US... she's acredited and has quite the reputation. Those that she does give to private citizens have to go through rigorous background, personality, and character checks and they run anywhere from $6,500 to $12,000. I'd love to get a German-line GSD as I love those dogs, Bear is part GSD, but a good one from a reputable breeder is going to cost a lot... I just don't have the money to get such a top of the line dog like that (trying to keep it under $1,000 and I've seen GSDs go for as little as $3,000- still out of my range). Unless, of course, you know something I don't...

These guys are my neighbors...they "seem" to have a pretty good thing going. I haven't bought anything through them so I haven't gone through it thoroughly, but you might want to check it out and ask questions. If nothing else, it is a pretty drive with a nice view of Pike's Peak through the meadow.

I got really lucky with my dog...right place at the right time. I'll post up a pic later.

Neighbors? Up in Conifer? You do know I work in Evergreen and looking for a house to move back up here soon... Conifer is easy peasy for me!

I'll check them out and maybe email them and find out about litters, but I saw their puppy price: $1600! That might be more than I can afford at that time...

I say neighbors pretty loosely; as in within a couple of miles of me.

One more final thought...the amount of money I spent buying my dogs is nothing compared to the money I spend on vet bills. My wife's dog goes to the vet pretty often for one thing or another...things like ACL sprains, claw issues, and bladder issues. My dog gets here shots.
