Well it starts out that people"think" they want a German shepherd and fail to do enough research on the breed. Then the lack of guidance from the breeder on how to train a puppy. I am using this as a general idea...phrase ok...and then you add the possible idea the pet buyer bought from a weekend warrior breeder...byb as some say. And it gets worse from there.
