I was looking to buy a puppy and I want to buy a German Shepherd. I live in the Columbus, Ohio region and I was just wondering if anyone knew of any kennels or breeders of any sort that possibly had any full blood German Shepherd pups?

another option for you would be to check with the vet you will be taking your pup to. they might be able to steer you in the direction of a reputable breeder in your area. also another avenue is to contact a Shutzhund club in your area. because these people work with GSD's and some are even breeders who are quite reputable.
the reason I say reputable breeders is because they are out to improve the breed and are concerned with the health of the puppies as well as there temperament. they offer health guarantee's and just don't sell to anyone...they are picky about who they give their pups to.
there are so many "backyard" breeders who don't care about the breed or know about the breed and the problems that these dogs can have...they are out to make a profit on a popular breed. so be very careful...you are about to spend a lot of money on a dog and you want the best qualities of the breed to be in that dog....in other words...you get what you pay for. on avg. a pet quality GSD will run you anywhere from $700-$1000. if you are interested in Shutzhund and want to train your dog in tracking and protection work a good German bred GSD will run you more.

the in effortless words element that PROVES a canines is purebred (no longer "finished-blooded") is official papers from a official registry. DNA exams are not to any extent further one hundred% precise. in case you want a handbook, in simple terms search for photos of GSDs on Google and evaluate regardless of canines you're speaking about to those. Kaper - no, i comprehend it ought to't be shown in simple terms by searching at %.. it really is why I said "handbook".
