I know I'm going to get a ration of #### for this, but this is not really better. sometimes you want brand new, not screwed up by the previous owner. You want to be able to see the the parents, assess the blood lines and believe it or not be able to show the dog. I've had both types, rescues and show quality dogs and a lot of times getting a rescue dog is getting a psychologically damaged basket case.
Sorry for the rambling, but I hope you get the gist of it.

I get what you're saying, being a professional horseman the same goes for horses, however in both cases there are good ones out there, and I will look into all options. I have kids so the new dog has to be right, and without issues. Do you have any info on breeders. Thanks.

Contact Frequentflier, she might be able to help direct you. If, and when you get your new Pup, post some pictures!! Good luck.

Not all rescues are screwed up basket cases, some are just owner surrenders due to financial issues. Read into magsr and what they do before completely writing off the possibility of adopting.

However, we did get our first GSD from Applejack and I would not hesitate in going back and getting another dog from them.

Thanks, and yes when the times comes that I've found the one, I'll post pictures.

Then go adopt an "All American Mutt" puppy! Huge gene pool!

I hope you did not get your kids this way by selecting you mate based on pedigree and blood lines!

If you really want a "perfect" GSD, then contact the AKC and talk to the owners of the GSD that won his breed at Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show...that is about as perfect as you are going to get!

(I fail to see what being a "professional" has to do with getting a good 'family" dog has to do with anything. )

I didn't start this post to cause a debate, be smart mouthed, or have to explain myself. I figured with this being a "dog forum" I could get some useful info, and not what I just got from you. To reference how I chose my wife and kids is out of line. Please don't reply, I'll take my search elsewhere, or communicate with others that here to participate in the forum in a more respectful way.
