How do I find the best puppy? ›

The German shepherd dog is a herding breed known for its courage, loyalty and guarding instincts. This breed makes an excellent guard dog, police dog, military dog, guide dog for the blind and search and rescue dog.

The adoption fee includes a range of treatments, including a physical exam, spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, a starter bag of food and more. At the Animal Humane Society, standard adoption fees for dogs and puppies range from $129 to $767, depending on breed, age, and size of the dog among other factors.

Among the 155 purebred breeds included in the dataset, Lancashire heelers tended to live the longest, with a median life expectancy of 15.4 years. Behind them were Tibetan spaniels (15.2 years), Bolognese (14.9 years), shiba inus (14.6 years) and papillons (14.5 years), to name a few.

German shepherds love games and learning new things. They need a lot of mental stimulation; playing a game of tracking or searching is a great way to keep them entertained.

Observe the litter mates in action.

Do they all play together or is there a quiet one that retreats to a corner? Is there one pup that always seems to come out on top of the heap? If you want an assertive pet, that one may be for you. If you want a more docile friend, retrieve the pup from the corner.

How can you tell a good quality puppy? ›

Eyes: should be clear and bright, with no sign of dirt or redness. Ears: should be clean with no smell or signs of wax inside that could mean ear mites. Nose: should be cold and slightly wet, with wide open nostrils. Breathing: should be quiet and effortless with no snoring, coughing, grunting or wheezing.

Although accurate temperament testing is not possible at a very young age, you can get a general assessment of your pup's personality. Does he seem interested in play? Does he sniff or nudge your hand when you hold it out and welcome your touch? Is he comfortable around people or does he cower when you approach?

The biggest or fattest puppy in the litter can turn out to be the greediest one - he probably pushed the other puppies away to get the most food. The smallest one often can't fend for itself and consequently doesn't get enough food.
