"Mated females" for sale - Page 1

I know it´s getting old, but maybe some "newcomers" will read this post...

There are more and more ads about "mated females for sale " ( besides the "female in heat" ads )...

The GSD is supposed to be a "working dog", even the showlines, ALL OF THEM should be able to fulfill the lowest breeding requirements, and ALL OF THEM should be officially be health tested according to HD/ED.

European countries that are part of FCI do have access to trials, vets, and shows ( even a "local", country based, working trial" would be fine... )
That said - those countries are able to "play" according to the rules, their "better" dogs are titled, health tested, shown - only the females not worth the work and money are advertised without titles, but pregnant ( and always bred to a cheap local stud, everything else would be too expensive for the seller ).

Don´t be stupid, think about the future, don´t base your breeding program on dogs with no or minor quality.

Fast money maybe - but nothing worth to base a "business" on...

End of the monthly rant - sorry

I don't think you should apologise. It needs saying. If it takes a 'monthly rant' to start to make people listen, so be it.

Two thumbs up, Susie!  

Very good advice and I hope understood by those looking to start a breeding program. You see the cheap female bred model fail time and time again here as the new owners learn the hard way why the female was for sale.

Whatever female you start with, everything you produce will come from her and her offspring. Invest wisely. A good female gives 80% of herself to her offspring. A bad female gives 100%.
