Just as it is important to do your research on the breed you should also do research on the breeder.

There are certain things you may want to consider when choosing a breeder to purchase from: 


*Health testing which means OFA and not just a health check. To see the recommended OFA health tests for GWPs click the button below.


*What are the breeder's expectations of you as an owner. Must the puppy/dog be in the house? Is a hunting home required? Will they want you to test your dog in certain areas? etc.


*Will the breeder assume responsibility of the puppy or dog if an issue arises? Do they offer any guarantees on the puppy or dog?


*What are their breeding practices? Is what they are producing meeting the GWP standard?


*Are they involved with organizations? Are they out testing and/or competing with their breeding stock?


Have questions for them as they should also have questions for you.
