​

Buying a puppy needs to be carefully considered. Take your time and think about what character your dog should have.

What fits into your everyday life? How much time do you have? Are you more sporty and looking for a companion or do you have a fulfilling everyday life and the dog should be adaptable  be?  

DSG are very different in appearance, but also in nature. Of course, there are basic character traits that shape the essence of the breed. But beyond that, there are different types in each litter: calm, dominant, lively, excited. You should know what suits you and ask the breeder for advice.  

​

In any case, the dog needs enough time with you.  A DSG is an affectionate animal and prefers to always be with you. Waiting for hours alone in the house or apartment is a no-go for the dog.  

​

DSG are getting old. You will spend the next 15 years with your dog. That too needs to be considered. The children may be out of the house by then, but the dog is still there and wants to be looked after. Especially in old age we should take the dog  Show respect and loyalty and show consideration for your weaknesses.  

​

Please understand that for a responsible breeder it doesn't matter which new home the puppy finds. The pros and cons can be carefully considered and weighed up in a joint conversation. Always in the interests of the dog.  

​

You should choose your new family member carefully. Pay attention to breeding  and the rearing conditions! You pay enough money for it. A good breeder pays attention to:

​

- on the health of his dogs. Let us advise you on the HD value (A / B / C) and the PLL susceptibility. Are there any other diseases in the pedigree?

- the nature of his dogs. A DSG is an agile but friendly dog. Mating does not only depend on appearance. The breeder will be safe  the character of the parent animals  note.

​

- the rearing of the puppies. I do not like kennels or "puppy rearing houses" and are always a greater risk of bacterial infections. A good breeder will not forego the proximity of the puppies to humans when rearing them.  

​

- the socialization of the puppy. A good breeder will get the puppy used to their surroundings early on. The puppy will go on excursions, drive in the car, go to the village, sniff at the horse farm, visit a day care center.  

​

- food. A good breeder can explain to you why they are using this and not that food. In general, the advice belongs - and not only before buying the puppy-  to. A good breeder is happy about the contact and also the opportunity to observe the later development of the animal and always has an open ear for you.

​

A good buyer, on the other hand, is:

​

- informed. He knows why he wants this dog and has found out about its character, appearance and nature.  

​

- takes enough time. It is important to me that people with puppy wishes come to see us personally. The buyer should get to know the dogs. If he likes the mother / father then he will also like the babies and vice versa. If the puppy is there and is handed over at around 9 weeks (vaccinated, chipped and healthy), it takes time again for the baby to get used to the new home. During this time it is important to have as much contact with the family as possible. So you need time!

​

- curious. He's not afraid to ask. It's not bad to have information gaps. It is stupid not to close this with questions. Ask the breeder! A good breeder has attended many seminars and is constantly training. Take advantage of it.

​

- steadfast when he hears the price. Breeding a dog comes with a lot of costs (apart from the time it takes). That is underestimated. In the end, many cost items result not just in a cake, but rather in the cake. Ask your breeder how he calculates. A reputable breeder can easily tell you quite a few upfront costs that he has to pay for without knowing whether he is the baby  can ever sell. You will quickly understand ...
