Papers, shmapers. It matters not to some BYB's. There are dozens of BYB's of 
GSD's out my way. More times than not they advertise of having "Champions" in 
the lines. Having gone skulking around pretending I am a buyer with no brains I 
can tell you there are indeed Ch's in the lines. Bitches and dogs were bought 
with papers and generations later....well you get the picture.
 
If the companion pups sold are not up to the standard of the breed, why not 
early spay or neuter?? I know I know, I've heard all the arguments about bones 
not growing as they should etc. Or is it the money factor? Or both? Private 
rescues are so inundated that you'd be hard pressed to find a rescue that does 
NOT early spay and neuter. They, the SPCA's and shelters and pounds after all 
are the ones that deal with the flood of unwanted adults and puppies. Perhaps 
if the breeders of these dogs and puppies were to walk in the shoes of these 
organizations, they too would be for early spay/neuter.
 
Out of curiosity, how many here do home checks? And for what reasons would you 
deny someone a dog/pup?

The only way to understand & estimate the nature of the dog is to study his 
whole development. Such a task requires a sympathetic, dog-loving observer, who 
tries as far as possible to enter into the innermost mind of the dog, and who 
will know how to short-circuit all his purely human points of view. --Max von 
Stephanitz
