Hello, im planning to get a gsd puppy, can someone teach me what are the things to see when choosing a gsd puppy? Im getting a showline gsd due to their lower drive nature when compared to working line. Its more for a companion than protection partly also due to having some kids at home.

The puppies' father is a german import n i saw from the paper its from konigsgarde kennel and as for the mother, she's local but not bad looking as well. However, out of the 3 male puppies i did notice one that is very shy or weak and walk awkwardly. Is there any chance to get hip dysplasia this early? They are only 7 weeks old. Would the chance of getting hip dysplasia increase with 1 of the sibling having this issue? They are showline btw.

Thanks for the info! They are very helpful! Anyway the parents are very healthy and active so i'm not so worried about the health condition and i heard normally gsd from germany will go through several hip and health test. I was told by the breeder the puppy that walks awkwardly is due to being too fat and the legs are not growing fast enough to support the body, it will recover soon. I also did some research that gsd puppy usually has this kinda issue. Btw the breeder is based in klang near klang sentral who only breeds gsd, anyone has any experience dealing with the breeder? Will upload some photos when possible.

Im based in PJ. Will be getting him next week! Yeap will upload picture of him when i get him home haha.

Klg too but didnt know there r breeders in klang.

Urs is showline or workig line? I tot of looking for cross mixed line in future. One thing bad for showline is d back i feel scared for my gsd's back, afraid tht he might hurt it anytime with his many stunts.

Hi.. the one im getting is showline. I thought its never a good idea to cross working and show line? It will create unstable breed, saw this somewhere haha.

Thw breeder is selling the puppy ar rm2800. Tried to ask for discount but was told that the price is fixed. I didn't want to go for working line cos i can't have a higher drive one that requires more control plus have kids around that area so better to have a god temperament with lower drive haha.

I'm an interior designer. Haha was told by the breeder cos he owns not only showline but also working line. He has some nice gsd there and the size very nice also.

I bought from klang breeder, they only breed gsd. If you visit the kennel, u will see the right hand side fenced up and divided into few rows for all the big gsd which includes some german import ones. The size of the puppies looks nice for 7 weeks old. I would expect 7 weeks old to be smaller size or maybe i have been keeping small breed dogs haha. I can give you the number of the breeder if you want.

Thanks for the advice. Went to see him few days back n checked the testicles. They are descended luckily. I don't see any reason why any "potential buyer" can't go n visit the place . Pm me if u need the phone number n address.

No man the market very bad nowadays not as easy as u think haha. It wasn't me who paid for the puppy, it was my granduncle who wanna co-own the dog haha. Will upload the photo as soon as i get him back. Didn't manage to take photo of him that day haha.
