So many adorable and gorgeous pups. I have a soft spot for German shepherds. Had one when I was kid. She was the best dog. Those guide dogs are gorgeous too.I also wanted to share some pictures pups that Iāve helped foster, friends dogs, our two current silly seniors, and GDB dogs (Guide Dogs for the Blind) pups Iāve been helping train
These two (the black and yellow labs) are GDBās in training

Yes genetics play a part but it's MUCH less likely to get a behavioral problem with a puppy then an adult rescue.No because genetics have a lot too do with it, puppies are not blank slates
its for the same reason why you donāt except a golden retriever to herd or a border collie to naturally retrieve
and some like aggression only show up as the dog matures
That being said I do agree for a service dog a rescue wouldn't be a good optionYes genetics play a part but it's MUCH less likely to get a behavioral problem with a puppy then an adult rescue.
Plus there has been dogs that were used for dog fights that went on to become therapy dogs so in my opinion training is the BIGGEST factor if the dog will have issues.
are there any other breeds you would like or just Goldens?Washington, but as @SpotTheCat said, Iām unable to wait more than a few months some of you may know Iāve been struggling a lot with mental health and I couldā¦ not be hereā¦ if I donāt get extra support. But I also am fully aware that I canāt just rely on this dog but at the same time I know itās really important to get from an ethical breeder.
I wouldnt call them a byb if they do all testing thats recommended for the breed.are there any other breeds you would like or just Goldens?
I really didnāt like denzilās, there not so bad I would take them completely of the list but I would still look around and put them at the bottom of the list.
Its not just about if the breeder is ethical or not, you want to get from a breeder whoās puppies have the highest chance of succeeding. I donāt like that Denzilās dogs havenāt done anything because showing/sports/working puts dogs in a similar environment to what a SD will be in. If they only keep there dogs as pets the dog my have never been in a busy place, around a lot of people and other dogs, they also probably wonāt have needed to focus or behave if they have. If any of the parents are titled then you know they most have behaved well enough in a busy environment, it doesnāt guarantee anything 100% but its better then if the breeder hasnāt done it
but you canāt be too fussy when you need the dog! Pepsi my ADIT came from a breeder some people would probably call a byb even though they where well taken care of, parents where worked and health tested
others would because they have 3+ litters a year, the dogs (and puppies) are kept outside in kennels, not all of the parents are titled, there was no puppy contract and I picked the puppy myselfI wouldnt call them a byb if they do all testing thats recommended for the breed.
If their parents worked and if they have a pedigree of 3 or more generations.
I personally donāt think 3, or even 4, is a lot at all. Thatās once per season. I think itās unrealistic to expect a breeder to only produce 1 litter a year. Now, if it was 3 litters per season Iād have more of an issue.others would because they have 3+ litters a year, the dogs (and puppies) are kept outside in kennels, not all of the parents are titled, there was no puppy contract and I picked the puppy myself
my point is (incase it was hard to understand )that different people have different criteria for what an ethical breeders is and most people when talking about ethical breeding donāt differentiate between working and companion dog breeder. I think there is a big difference in what is okay when breeding working dogs vs companion dogs
