Before you call a German Shepherd breeder

  1. Health results for both parents. Good German Shepherd breeders test for hips and elbows, and a DNA test for degenerative myelopathy (DM), and show you the paperwork.
  2. See the mother with the litter, in person or on a live video call, not only photos.
  3. A real breeder asks you questions about your home and schedule, and often has a waitlist.
  4. Never wire money or pay with gift cards or crypto before you have seen the puppy. That is how most puppy scams work.
