I invite everyone to come to the GSDCO meetings. They can meet the members,
meet dogs and we can answer the basic questions they do not even know they
have. It is good education and they get to meet without any pressure. I do this
whether I have pups or not as I generally do not.
If they want to come to the house, fine, but it is far enough out here to make
them think twice about the trip without being serious about getting a dog. But
that does not mean I will feel they are right for one of mine.

I love to have people come over and meet the dogs, be that puppies or the
old guys. I had a couple of people just recently who just wanted to meet
Dexter. Come on over. Want to bring the kids? No problem. I am very
comfortable correcting someone else's child. <G>
My old dogs were used to kids, since we had 3. My current dogs dont have
that advantage, so I take them to the park, and work with the Scouts, and
give my dogs that experience.
I love when people want to meet GSD's, And I take that opportunity to
teach them how to behave around large dogs. Also, they meet the older dogs
before they meet the puppies. It gives everyone an opportunity to relax, and
its easier on the pups. Also, if the kids are not behaving at this point,
after they get a lecture from me, they may not even make it to the
puppies. If parents cant handle their kids, they have no business adding a
puppy
to that chaos. Not one of my pups, anyway.
Once we had a wife totally freaked out when she met the older dogs, she
didn't realize GSD's got that big!!
Are you kidding me!! Needless to say, they didn't take a puppy, I didn't
care how much the guy wanted the puppy, the wife and kids were obviously
terrified. I suggested a Corgi, and they did buy one and called me a bunch
of times for tips. They are on their second Corgi and very happy. Win-win.

....request from people to come over and visit, chat and meet the dogs?
Here's the thing, I know the AKC site says "go and see the breeder's
facility" and "meet the dogs", but quite frankly, I am busy w/ "real" work
during the week, busy w/ family and friends, maybe a dog show etc. during
the
weekend, and when I do have a moment's peace I LOVE my privacy and I
can't
stand the thought of people I don't know, didn't invite with (perhaps) ill
behaved children who will trash my well cared for NOT CHILDPROOF home? I
don't have a kennel...I have a home. AND I love to entertain...but not
strangers. AND I don't WAN'T a bunch of strangers coming and going....
Pet peeve of mine, children who can't stand on the two feet God gave them
and want to put a foot against the wall or on a cabinet, and oh yes, the
dear ones who hang on the cabinets or think they can wander in the house
or my
fav...the child who threw a dog's ball and hit the freshly painted
ceiling (which then needed to be REpainted).
Don't get me wrong, not ALL children act like that, but it's all too
frequent, and I don't usually have 1/2 a day to spend chatting dogs and
playing
the entertainer.
Now, plenty of times I'll explain that weekends are jam packed and give
them my show schedule but when that doesn't work....
....how do you all handle the requests?
