That was my thought, too. Someone looking for their first GSD
isn't going to know the right way to approach a breeder about
buying a puppy. At least she's asking a legitimate breeder
instead of looking for the cheapest puppy she can find. Maybe
she and her son might become interested in junior handling,
obedience or conformation with some support and encouragement.
We all started some place!

Sometimes it is good to just answer such a request politely. "Smart"
answers may turn off but also may lose a potential good gsd future
owner and maybe even upcoming GSDCA member. If they view the members
as snobs, they will probably just go to a byb or even miller. Isn't
it better, generally at least, to ask questions, find out what they
know and don't know, whether or not they are teachable, have
references, refer them to a shelter where they might get a good pet.
They may be ignorant but may truly have love for a pet and be a good
pet owner and may LEARN.
