A challenge on the way will be to protect my German Shepherd from all dogs reacting to being not neutered. A lot of dogs even friendly ones may react to unaltered males. A fight can make my German Shepherd be reactive to all other dogs for life, my goal is to prevent this and have no dog...

Common dogs are cuddly towards their person. But lots of fur, get hot, want their own personal space you got to respect boundaries. Dogs set their own too. Though typical female Golden Retriever doesn't know what boundaries are 😂.

I remember a few moments with German Shepherds protecting me. A loyal moment for sure. All dogs went to the boss I didn't like, while the German Shepherd never left my side. The boss abuses and neglects dogs. Shows not all dogs but one are not good at detecting humans good ones or bad ones...

Well having an anxiety disorder, or any other disability speech delay, auditory processing, ADHD, etc. Does existing with learning disabilities, especially an anxiety disorder disqualify qualities to be fit for the German Shepherd breed?

Well anxiety. What is the Fab 4?

I mentioned my needs for a possible service dog, mostly true companion. This breeder places dogs into families, but says her dogs are too high drive to be service dogs. German Shepherds are working dogs, wouldn't that make them versatile?

Most people want German Shepherds for protection, but most dogs won't protect you. Most owners never had a real situation of dangers to confirm any protection. I'm 30, physically fit and strong, I don't need a dog for protection. True companion honestly.

The defensive response she claimed, "inappropriate client's information." Interrogation feels, like I'm Michael Myers or something I find an immediate red flag. Google 5 stars and website testimonials are a not enough to convince me. Shuts down the conversation about references. I gave her my...

Right but a serious puppy buyer would ask for references. If the breeder refuses, that would be a red flag, "stating inappropriate. to give out client's information." The breeder got nothing to hide, if every information she says is the actual case not opposite. Of course she ask permission...

Hello, I asked a to give references, but she feels it's controversial. I don't understand because the application had me list 3 references of my own. I googled myself according to AI overview and other information I found.

No, simply a true companion dog. Though when I asked for references, all she did was link Google and her testimonial page. Which wasn't what I meant. She wants a conversation about my needs. Which is the higher priority references or needs?

A long time ago, before I got my Labradoodle or maybe around the same time I got him. I Am Legends, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, befriending some at the local dog park led me to a small dog walking business white husky actually.

Right ranking alone, but health, temperament, etc.

So a breeder announced her sire is ranked #6 in the world, puppies go to $5500 while next litter is $4500. Is this a red flag at all?

"High Demands: They need substantial physical exercise, mental challenges (puzzles, training), and consistent leadership to thrive. Not for Everyone: Without proper guidance, their high energy and intelligence can lead to destructive behaviors like excessive barking, chewing, or fence-running...
