Dog help German Sheppard

[area51_for_psx]

Hi guys anyone got a german sheppard.

Me and the girl are looking one for new house. I have a dog at the moment but it is tiny compared to a german sheppard. Its a Miniature schnauzer.

Anyone know what the going rate is for a pup and are they hard to train. Will I need to bring it to specialist training due to it growing into shuch a big powerful dog?

Thanks for all the advice guys. Am going to have to contact the KC as over here (N.Ireland) the prices for them are varying wildly.

Yeah the house has a good size gardern and he will also have access to fields. Was looking to get a giant schnauzer or an Irish wolfhound but they are both hard to get. And the fiancee shot me down on the wolfhound due o its size

Thanks for all the information guys. We wont be rushing into it. Doing as much research and planning as possible. And will be trying to organise professional training as well.

Thanks

We looked into getting one recently. Made contact with a few breeders in Northern Ireland and down south. The most professional ones, with best pedigree pups, seemed to be Willowdale in Portaferry and Rosebud in Limerick. You should get in contact with them or with a breeder you were considering as they give great advice to first-time owners!!

Edit: Also, most reputable breeders we looked at in the country were charging between £500 and £600.
