Love at first site..... I saw this pup at 3 weeks old and I knew I wanted her. I was looking for a companion pup. One to go places with me and train. I chose a German Shepherd Dog for its versatility to excel at any job i chose for her. I had thoughts of agility, scent work and maybe therapy dog training.
Izzy at 5 weeks still at the breeders.
Izzy at 6 weeks old. I went to the breeders to see my girl and place a deposit on her. I took a tennis ball and a couple of squeaky toys. Upon arrival the puppies area was nice and clean and the beautiful parents were out of the way in another area. i jumped in and was expecting all the pups to jump on me, instead they ran and hid behind their house. I was very disappointed, the breeder told me they had just eaten and were tired. i almost believed him. the parents were not friendly either they were not aggressive but they were fearful and didn't know what a ball was. As I stood there, squeaking the toy, I was deciding to pass on this pup. That's when she ran out and jumped on my foot. I rolled the ball and she jump on it! I grabbed her up and took her home. It was probably not the best idea, because now i had a 6 week old pup with fearful, shy parents. what have i done.
