[QUOTE="donner, post: 3093687, member: 277"] obviously you'll do what you want, but if you are in no hurry and aren't in need of 'papers' i'd suggest you watch the local rescue shelters and spaces like petfinder. We're always seeing GSD mix puppies come up for adoption from some of the poorer rural communities that don't value spay/neutering. One place, Tunica Humane Society, seems to get a good bit of them. They just found a beautiful white GSD the other week IIRC. In my opinion, pure breeds are often overrated as they sometimes come with some genetic issues that mix breeds do not. Plus, adopting from a rescue/shelter saves two lives. But again, that is just my opinion. And as was said, intelligent dogs are great but often obey because they want to (not because they are trained to!) [/QUOTE]
