I don't have any puppies and am not expecting any. We have a lady retiring at work the end of Feb and all she wants for her retirement is a German Shepherd puppy as she lost her old guy last spring. Instead of a retirement party etc she wants and the staff want to get her a puppy. I am not sure if it is to be a male or female, but is will definitely be a well loved pet and would never be shown. I feel strongly about finding the pup for them, because if I don't I know they will end up going to a pet shop, or puppy mill (we have one locally that always has "German Shepherd pups FOR SALE NOW") and my need to control the situation <g> deems that I make sure the puppy they get will be one of sound health and temperament, one the breeder will stand behind and at least looks like a "good one"..faults will be of no significance, except for ears of course.. (my insistence) Obviously, the fund for this dog will be coming through staff donations etc and I have told them to expect it to cost them up to $1000.00. So, here I am, on the list, inquiring.. please contact me in private. thank you!!
