I had a call last night from a woman looking for a puppy in Southern CA. Husband and wife, currently have a Maltese and a Morkie (?), have never had GSDs. Are looking for a "show-quality family pet who could do Obedience". She has been doing some homework. Said they are looking for a reputable breeder who would be willing to mentor them, would never buy sight unseen over the Internet, want to meet at least the pup's mother, are planning on doing a lot of socialization, and will be taking pup to a puppy class as soon as it's safe.
