$60 for a puppy is very, very low. Too low. You cannot get a "deal" on a good, healthy dog. The person advertising this is a backyard breeder hoping to make a quick buck, or a careless dog owner who didn't spay his dog and is trying to turn a profit off his mistake.

German Shephards are expecially prone to many serious (and ultimately fatal or dehabilitaing) conditions, including hip dysplasia. A good breeder will test the parent dogs against this. A good breeder will also:

-agree to take the dog back at *any point of its life*

-have a waiting list of buyers before the pups are born


-is breeding to uphold the standard of the breed

-have both parents on site and will let you look at them

-do some sort of homecheck

-spay/neuter the pups, or make you sign soemthing saying you will do it

-give the pups at least their first round of shots

-keep the pups with the mother dog for at least 8 (preferably 10-12) weeks.

If the breeder fails to do any of this, it's not a legit one. Please don't keep thse awful people in business.
