I now have permission from dad to start looking at future puppies for sale....
I have found one breeder that seems to be a very reputable breeder.
She has been breeding dogs since 1979 and has kept some very strong lines, she has very healthy dogs, all tested for hips, eyes, elbows, heart something (not remembering the name right now), etc. So I am going to contact her and see if her dogs seem to be what she says they are.
So the right breeder should be able to pick a puppy that will fit in with what we need no matter what there lines are (she is breeding for shows), right?
So will be a problem that her dogs are not raised around animals and haven't been ever, she shows her dogs so they aren't farm dogs, I guess you could say. But then @BrendaMNgri I think it was you that said you raised SMs that were show lines and they turned out to be great lgds?
I am just nervous and want a dog that is going to work out for us.
I am thankful I have a dad that is on the same stand as me and is willing to buy a good puppy and not from someone who just breeds there dogs.
I saw the other day a bernese puppy for sale and he was 12weeks old... I was going to tell dad when I read further... Turns out the dogs dad has hip dysplasia, and they were averting this pup as a puppy that some day would be a good breeder... Also he was 1200 dollars.
