Shipping is a good choice IMHO. You can look at WAY more GOOD breeders that way. Also, you can fly up to meet the pup and the parents before you take the pup home.

Personally, with a good REPUTABLE breeder you aren't really going to get to choose. The way that I do it is this, I evaluate the litter from the time they are born, do a full evaluation at 8 weeks, that helps seperate the pet puppies from the working puppies. I then tell people, here are the pet puppies, these 2 would be suitable for your home, they pick between the 2. If you look at the WHOLE litter and pick a working quality puppy but you just want a pet, I'm not going to sell you the working pup. These are all potential...anything with a puppy is a crapshoot.

Broadening your horizon to shipping would be a good thing.

If you want, I'll e-mail you my phone number and I'll talk to you more about the GSD and what your looking for etc. to match you up with some good breeders in your area and out.

Also, for a well bred pet quality puppy, you're looking at around $600 from health tested parents. $750 is the lowest I've seen for a pup out of health tested TITLED parents.
