Most would do well with the shilo variation, but hard to find. More calm,
but larger than most.

I have had Shepherds all my life and own two now.
You should define what type of German
Shepherd you want.
If you want a extremely good watch dog and can handle a large boned maniac.
I would recommend a East German- Czechoslovakian bred dog. They will
protect you to the end but they are a real chore to train especially if it
us a un- neutered male.
I own one he is 116 pounds and he could eat a Rotweiller and a few coyotes
for breakfast.
He is a Tasca shepherd. The Tasca line does have some hip problems not bad
but not perfect either.

If you want a easily trained good natured extremely intelligent and
decent watch dog go with a
pure black.
Here is a excellent breeder with dogs with great healthy bloodlines just
over the border in CT

For American bred German Shepherds try morningstar pet resort in
Thompson CT.
They are well bred healthy dogs for the American line.

Post by Cuddle BitchPost by holydvrDoes anyone know of any breeders in the Rhode Island area. Its been a while
and so far it looks like ill have to travel north to maybe find one.
thank
you
John Washburn (former director of the Providence PD K-9 unit) is the
only shepard breeder I know of. Not sure if he's still doing it or
not. I believe he's in the phone book (Scituate). Might be worth
calling him, if he's not breeding any longer, he can put you in touch
with a reputable breeder in the area.
