We - family with two girls 4 and 5,5 - are looking for a German shepherd pupp. We had a GSD, but he died recently. We live on a big lot (4.500 sqm) high above Valencia, so it is pretty chilly here and a lot of space to run freely around. We not only want to have fun with but provide protection for our property as well. Male or female doesn't matter, doesn't need to be pure German shepherd, but at least 90 percent. Hope any of you could help us to find one, thank you. Chris Email: chrisamelia@posteo.de or CP 09955097536.
Cannot help with your choice of GSD - but if you do not succeed then perhaps you could talk with @ShawnM about the Belgian Malinois.
Chris, I have sent you an email with contact details for a breeder of purebred GSD who can offer papers if you wish to breed him/her later. If he has no pups, being in the dog world I am sure he will know who does or he will have shortly. Having a GSD I understand why you are looking for another. They are very special. And if I was looking to get another a GSD would be my pick.
