Hey there, First time poster sorry if this gets asked on a consistent basis.
I'm looking into purchasing a GSD puppies and have been looking hard attempting to find a breeder in my Area (Ottawa). I would like some extra opinions on if this is something to consider or if I should stay away. I am mostly worried about the Dame and in my unprofessional opinion I wouldn't of expected a respectable breeder to breed considering she is pretty old.

Would much appreciate any input :)

Alternatively if anyone knows of any reputable breeders in the Ottawa, Ontario region it would be much appreciated. I don't mind having to drive a while to pick the pup up.
I do have to say I def prefer the look of the traditional German Shepherd that I saw growing up in Germany.

wouldn't consider her too old for breeding as long as she is in good health

Vortexdr,
I don't see where either parents have any type of health certificates, ie: hips,elbows, DM, DNA, etc. This would cause me to go else where. There are many other options than to go with a pup from parents like these.

If she is in good health I don't see her age to be an issue. My girl was born out of a dam who was just a month or two shy of 8 years old. Produced 9 puppies and I know she had one more litter after my girl. I assume she is retired now as she will be 10 this year but so long as Dam is in good Shape a litter at 8 or close to, does not concern me at all.
I would do the rest of the hOmework though and find out of the homes have been scored by OFa or PennHip. You can confirm by doing a search on OFA website or calling PennHip.

DOB: 30.01.2006 - SchH3 - KKL1 Elbows: a-Normal Hips: a-Normal DNA tested in Germany
V- SchH 3, KKl 1, couldn't find any results on the bitch, best ask the breeders of the pups for her results
Follow your gut, if you are not happy then stay away

I would also assume that at this age this will be her last or second to last litter.
