    Howdy,

    Am looking for recommendations as to where I can obtain a German Shepherd Dog locally.
    Can travel a bit.
    Doesn’t have to be a puppy but I do want it to be very breed specific.
    (My last GSD passed a few years back and am looking for another to fill the void. Hard to explain what a great friend she was.)

    Any points in the right direction appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

    Before you go to a breeder, check all the local animal shelters and rescue a dog in need of a good and caring owner. There were a couple of GS here at the Tangi shelter recently.

    My first GSD was from a shelter, but I knew the director and she called me personally.
    It seems that there are GSD *rescues* that check the shelters daily and adopt any that they see.
    I still check shelters but have not had much success.
    I’ll look into the Tangi shelter but calling them yields little information and traveling is a toll on me and the wife.

    But my thanks for your post.
    Much appreciated.

    I like Standard Poodles but don’t like to pay breeders for them. I’ve had very good luck finding the last two through petfinder.com which just compiles websites. I got both of them as adult housebroken dogs that were rescues. So that would be my recommendation.

    Call Apocalypse sports in ponchatoula and ask for Ed. He has some of the best German Shepherds I’ve seen. He is very knowledgeable, and he trains them as well.
