I could not help but go to this store where Rick had gone to see this GS puppy. My first impression: Super clean, all of it, even the pups. Lots of sales people running around catering to customers. I went past the rows of puppies, most of them sleeping. All the cages are separated from you by a long glass screen. When I got to the GS puppy I saw a small baby, paws quite small, so I knew she would not be a tall bitch. One of her eyes had some goop on it, nothing major. Got the attention of a clerk and asked how much this puppy was. Well, she is still $2000.-, just like Rick said. Then I asked if she was registered. Again, the same response Rick got, "not with AKC". When asked to see the pedigree, here she was giving it to me, like they say "signed, sealed and delivered". I wish my memory was a little better. I tried to take it all in, don't have a photographic mind, but in all honesty all but one did not seem familiar (the kennel name). Way back in the 5th generation they were all German dogs. I will not disclose the kennel name to the list. In lieu of our present problem it did not seem proper to do that. I wished I had the guts to place a warning on those cages for prospective buyers, but there are too many sales people watching you.
