When selecting puppy do puppy test, when selecting dog do dog test loh! Tongue OK! seriously, I don't know what you are really looking for. Different types of dog test for diffrent situation. In order not to go too far ahead I would generalise that we want to see confidence in a dog, good nerve and temprement and clear headedness. React only under threat. When you are into training then you will see it and knows what I mean.

For selecting puppy I only know of several test i.e
  1. The curiousity of the pup when you arrive, running to and investigating the new person
  2. The pinch test
  3. The seperation test
  4. The loud noise test
  5. The prey test
  6. Anymore??
What's the dog test ah?

Good breeder tells you the line(not that everyone know how to appreciate) Sometimes they advertise on their site or such. Let say if you do come to me as a buyer asking for a whole bunch of papers. I would say thank you very much. All my pups are already sold.....pun intended.Unimpressed Reason being
1) do your research and by referal of another of this breeder before you approach him you should already have some basic knowledge of him.
2) do your own study and decide if you have the confidence on a breeder before approaching him
3) have a sincere conversation to ask for anything you don't understand
4) never sound like you don't trust or doubtful of their lines.
Remember, good breeder breeds out of passion for the breed. Money is not the most important thing for him. He don't have to make that sale and believe me if he sense any doubts or not sure of anyone, he won't be selling.


Ok, so we need to do some research first before we approach any breeder, that makes sense. But how do we go about doing this? Where do we start? Ask him the Sire and Dam? The line? CrazyCrazyCrazy

Kowpa does have his points. All in the eye of the beholder. You must decide if you want to spend 100K on a kick ass dog or 1K for a mongrel? All I can tell you is that show dogs puppies go for 1800-2500 as a general market price. Working dogs all depends on the drives.



Tittles don't really mean anything if I'm not getting an adult dog. If I'm getting an adult dog, no necessary that it has to be tittled, I rather see the dog in action myself Smile.

Yes, showlines are, in fact, going from 1.4k to 2.5k. I've known working GSDs going for RM500!!! Crazy..FULLY TRAINED!!Crazy To good to be true eh? Hrmm...maybe because the dog was slightly older about 3 yrs old and seller and buyer were both gila working GSD. It was a fine guard dog until the day it died. God bless her soul.
