When purchasing a GSD, online, look for the price listing. If the
price is not listed, avoid contacting the owner or kennel. The
problems that we have experienced when we started shopping for a
German shepherd dog or puppy is as follow;
- When the price is not listed they are fishing for your
business.
- This a is BAIT for you to call them "to initiate contact
with you".
- Once you initiate the contact, they ask what your looking
for and how much you want to spend!
- OR... the dog/puppy that is on their website has been sold
long time ago but they offer many other dogs/puppies for your
selection that is not even listed for purchase on their website!
- OR... Their puppies are all gone to but they have VERY good
breeder friends that they can contact for you and see what is
available from their friends kennel!
When your budget is $5,000, they try to sell you the $2,000 dog
for $5,000 to accommodate your finances and boost their profits.
If they don't list the price, they must have something to
hide!
A good reputable breeder will have confidence in their
puppies and their breeding program. They would be proud to list the
PRICE for their piece of mind and for your convenience. There is no
need to MIS-LEAD or divert anyone, simply list the price... If
they are interested they will contact you, honest and SIMPLE!
