Jake from Sydney Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hi all, First time here, I am looking to purchase a German Shepherd for my family, any suggestions where I can get one in Sydney/Wollongong ? Should I be getting one from a Breeder ? I'm not really too sure of the process of obtaining one. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal House Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) Hi and welcome to the forum. Most defiitely buy one from a registered and reputable breeder. Are you wanting a puppy or an adult? Dogzonline has lists of breeders, the link is HERE for puppies and HERE for adults Those ones I linked are for NSW, but there is also other states as well. If you wanted a long haired breed, then look Here for puppies You can also ask for recommendations over on the German Shepherd Breed discussion forum page HERE Edited September 22, 2015 by Cazablanca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsd114 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Definitely from a registered breeder. Ensure the Dam and Sire stock have there hip and elbow scores and they preferably have had the test for DM (Degenerative Myelopathy)and are clear. Speak to the GSD league NSW. www.gsdl.info/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal House Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Best to ask over in the GSD breed thread then, HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankdog Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Do you mean the straight backed ones? Petresorts Dural can help you there but I do believe they are more a working dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFeather Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 If you go through the pages on the main Dogz Online website, I seem to recall a few breeders saying they are breeding old style Shepherds. Macklin (VIC) Fax (QLD) Vom SS (NSW) NOBELSCHUTZ (NSW) Wiltyne (NSW) Shrekherds (WA) Nothingbutgsd (NSW) Those are the ones I could find specifically mentioning 'old fashioned' style. There are several other 'working line' breeders but those dogs might not suit your needs (depending of course what your needs are...) PLEASE NOTE I don't know anything about those breeders, they might be terrible people or irresponsible breeders. BUT at least it gives you somewhere to start to narrow down your search. And yes, check the breed specific forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
