Not a bad idea SitasMom! What price range would I be looking at? I want working. I just like the way they look. The American lines is out of the question. Too many problems! German Showlines, I have one and not what I expected.
I have had several GS in my life and all have been pretty good. Intelligent, easy to train, eager to learn and nice looking. I may just have the "one bad apple". Or maybe I don't understand him. He is pretty smart in his own way but just hard headed sometimes. Actually, now that he is 3 years old, he is much better. Now nice looking, he is not. Poor guys rear elbows so to say, touch each other about 95% of the time when he stands and then his rear quarters sway back and forth as he is not balanced. When I take him for a walk/run, his rear feet drag. You can hear his claws touching the pavement. Poor guy! Free manicure I guess.
Now his Hip.....I don't know. Since I have been unemployed since March........no mula. Even before that, I had been unemployed for a few months also. I am hopeing things will get better. One way or another.
The only good thing is I know there are about a Million people out there who have it worse. Well, not good exactly a good thing.

puppies at 8 weeks are 1,500, and a 9 month old puppy, Kola z Eurosprotu, for example, that has gone through their puppy school and has had hips and elbows prelimed is 3,500. Their puppy school is asewome., it really gives the puppies a great foundation and sets them up for a winning future.
IMO EurosportK9 has an excellent reputation ....
I'm sure that similar puppies can be found for more and for less.......By purchasing an older puppy you are takeing some of the chance out of the mix. I'm not much of a gambler and will most likely never buy another puppy......I've grown to prefer older dogs.
The cost of purchasing a puppy, feeding, vet bills, shots, hip x-rays, toys and the like vs an older dog.......is a wash.

I would never consider buying a dog with this kind of guarantee.
What I wonder with this type guarantee is, WHY do so many breeders require that in order for your guarantee to be honored, YOU MUST RETURN THE PUP, (actually a dog by the time a year rolls around)?
What is the breeder going to do with a dysplastic dog that is returned? Keep it???Put it to sleep, What? If someone is willing to keep and care for the dog, WHY NOT LET THEM KEEP IT?, AND, if they do choose to keep it, WHY only refund/replace HALF.
Most people are attached to their dog after having it for a year(at least I would hope they were, if not I would feel I let that dog go to the wrong home), and I assume a lot of people would rather keep their dog and not redeem under the contract. I guess that is probably what the breeder is hoping for.
If the pup you sell turns out dysplastic, WHY NOT JUST REPLACE THE PUP, and Let the buyer keep their original dog, IF it's NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, but the love of the breed.
Yeah, require proof of spay/neuter...BUT just give them a replacement. That's what I would do.
X-ray of the pups hips/elbows, showing proper positioning, and meeting OFA standards, must be submitted to OFA for evaluation at the owners expense, prior to one of age. If in OFA' s evaluation, the pup shows evidence of Hip/Elbow dysplasia, the buyer can choose from one the following options:
Return the pup, and receive a replacement pup from the next available litter, not necessarily of the same breeding
Keep the pup, and receive 1/2 off the purchase price of a replacement pup. Breeder requires proof of spay or neuter of the dysplastic pup before honoring guarantee.
Keep the pup, and receive 1/2 of the original purchase price back.

"unlike SitasMom (not experianced) who recently became a vendor for Eurosport it seems"..
I'm breeding or matching puppies with owners, I'm not doing the training, I'm just finding buyers...and communicating.......What is the issue with working for Eurosport? When did advertising and communicating require so much experience? It is a job.
Mike Diehl is doing a great job with Erri, 97,97,95 - won the national champianship in davenport
The "prior to one year" is the caveat on this one......for sure.

No need to knock Sitasmom for making a buck... Jeysalim pmed me last night from Indonesia and he is using a person here in the USA who is vendoring Jinopo dogs and making a hefty 700.00 above the puppy price. If he bought the dog from Jinopo himself direct and getting the same guarantee that Mikecast just showed up with on post here...He could have bought the pup for $900.00 plus shipping but instead is paying $1,600.00 plus shipping,,so you want to throw stones, nasty incinutendos , make it to anyone brokering a dog. Do you work for free?? Nothing wrong with selling dogs for someone else. The dogs sell themselves almost. Eurosports reputation is set and Taunya is right here in Texas if Sitasmom needs her..bug off of criticism.
No one works for free...and in this business , anyone who vendors a dog for a breeder makes money.
Just my opinion

I would not go around and knock Erusport around, neither any one that try to make a buck as long as it dose it in legit way. Eurosport track record speaks of value. Never heard any one complaining about them, they are very active in a dog world and always pelasure to talk to. Can you buy dogs for less? Surre you can, you can get it even for free if you look around. They are not forcing any dogs on any one. It's up to buyer to make educated decision. I wish every breeder could be as professional as Eurosport, I think the breed would benefit from it. And this comes from a person that would most likely never buy a dog from Eurosport, but it has nothng to do with them, it's just personal choice.

Been busy all day running errands here and there and some calls so.
To all: I value certain peoples advice and or comments. One such person is SitasMom. I don't know her but, I do feel she is an honest person and not just throwing words to me or anyone else to make a buck.
Respect...please.
