    Default GSD breeders

    Hi GS,
    My GF is looking for a good GSD breeder. She’s an ecologist who’s in the field quite often, and an avid cyclist. So she’s looking for a sof that can accompany her on field trips and shorter (20-30 km) cycles.

    Does anyone know of a GSD breeder who focus on working dogs rather than show dogs?

    Does GSD stand for German Shepherd Dog?

    I like the look of Hausbende in George.

    Caution on their dogs. They are insanely wired, just under under Belgian Malinois type of intensity.

    Took mine regularly for a 20k run next to me whilst cycling and when we came back home he still wanted more. Mine also climbed on obsticles like slides in a park after my daughter. Could not stand up without him ready to go.

    They need to be outside working constantly.

    But awesome dogs.

    West lines should also fit the bill but are less intensive.

    DDR GSD are something else.

    Thanks for all the replies! I’ll have a look at West lines, seems like a good match.

    Hausbende’s dogs looks stunning, but I’d prefer something closer to Gauteng (sorry, should have mentioned that we’re in PTA).

    Thanks for the first hand info Noost. We are planning to get a GSD for my dad when he retires so it is good info.
