I would sell a puppy to a family that wanted a German Shepherd Dog puppy as
part of their Christmas!
We don't have puppies available this time of year simply because I don't want
to take the time and work
with a litter of puppies during the Holidays. Too much going on for
me....and it's WINTER!
We had 11 great puppies last year through an El Nino winter......I am now in
're-hab'. <G>
I "hear" part of the reason some breeders will not sell a puppy for a
Christmas present is because they
believe all the turmoil and busyness of company over Christmas is too much for
the puppy. I believe most
families only have that turmoil Christmas day....and then everyone goes home...
<G>....and everything goes
back to normal for time with the puppy. Also, kids home from school for that
week would be great.
But even so... I personally think that would be great for a puppy to have a
whole bunch of family enjoying
the new pup. But that's just me. I just think a sound puppy would love all
the attention and activity. <G>
I knew from the time I was 11 or 12 years old that I wanted a German Shepherd
Dog more than anything....
( well...except maybe a horse....) <G> and it would have made my life close
to perfect to have had a GSD
puppy as a Christmas gift. There would have been NO ISSUE with too much
activity! My entire being
would have been totally devoted to that puppy. In a way I think what Ed is
saying...and it would have been
that way for me personally as a kid ....a GSD Puppy for Christmas would have
been an answer to prayer.

A new old subject
A few years ago on this list the subject of selling a puppy for a Christmas
gift was discussed and if my memory is correct most folks were against it! And
yes just like almost everything else I disagree with the majority and I am
strongly in favor of it! Growing up poor like many families I didn't get too
many presents and having a birthday close to Christmas my gifts were counted as
both! Christmas 1970 my parents gave me a black AKC Great Dame! My favorite
gift of all time ( had to put him down at 9 months cuz of hip dysplasia but
that's another story). Christmas is such a special time and not because of
receiving gifts but for showing folks how much they mean to you, like the holy
one the day is all about if you are of the Christian faith ( no this is NOT a
religious post) ... anytime and especially Christmas is a great time for a
loved one to give another loved one a puppy! I think gifts at Christmas time
mean more! ... my second favorite gift was Christmas 1995, my wonderful wife
gave me a 12 year old black Tennessee Walker... almost killed me but that again
is another story! Iza, Mary Anne and I all have the same birthday! But I out
weigh both of them! lol Merry Christmas FB
