She had trouble with her last litter and is being retired from breeding. Pretty girl, IMO. Breeder is looking to place her in a forever home.

Sigh. If they can't pump money out of their rears, they are thrown out. Disgusting.

Poor girl......

Unfortunately, that's how it sounds. Her last litter was in January and she had to have an emergency c-section and was spayed at the same time. They want $500 for her to pay for the spaying.
The breeder is about an hour from where I live so plan to check her out in person. I'm told she is a dominate female and very protective so might not work out. Will have to see.

if you have any questions on this female i know her and the breeder

She has a beautiful face and nice showline pedigree. I sure hope she ends up in a wonderful forever home. Better that the breeder places her than put her in a kennel to rot. Yes, ideally he/she should keep her as a house dog and pamper her for all she has given him, but obviously the breeder is in it for the money. Very sad. I could never be a breeder...I would keep them all, puppies and adults!

Placing a retired dog can be the best thing for the dog. It isn't just discarding the dog or using and throwing away. It's recognizing and seeking what's best for the dog.
In a retirement home, she will get tons of undivided love and attention and will have a place of her own and will probably be incredibly happy to be in a stimulating and loving environment that offers her the care and attention of being a family pet. These girls can be awesome companions for people who want to avoid the puppy training and exuberance and who want a calmer, wiser, level-headed older dog. They are getting a known quantity often with very good training and good habits.
To be a breeder, one has to recognize that there is more than one loving home in the world, that one is not the only person who can take good care of a dog. And sometimes finding a new home for a female, rather than keeping her in a situation where she must share her people and her "house time" with other dogs, is the kindest, most loving choice.

Hi Bea,
I just noticed your PM. I rarely get any PMs so hardly ever look at the top of the page ;-)
I spoke with the breeder (Darla) and was told that Guilda has spent at least the last year in a kennel but previous to thar spent time in a house? I have no outdoor kennels here so Guilda would need to make the transition back to living in a house again.

I have a retired female I got from a breeder. It is one of the best decisions I have made and she is one of the best dogs I have ever had. She is great dog and you can tell she likes being in a home and is very appreciative. She gets along with the other dogs. The only problem she had was being cat agressive and we have worked that out to a point. In other words, she leaves the cat alone but I wouldn't lock them in a room together either. Of course the cat is 17 and has been raised ecxlusively with GSDs and he has his hiding places.
Back to the topic I think this is the way to go and doubt I would ever raise a puppy again. When I get ready for another dog I will look for another retired female. Just my 2 cents worth......
