Why a german shepherd? Because it looks mean? Or because you are familiar with the breed and enjoy spending a minimum of one hour a day walking, hours of training and like having a big dog taking up all the space in the house. GSD lives for anything up to 18 years and will grow up to 50kg in weight.
Are you ready for the costs involved? Vaccinations are QR540 a year, neutering will be a minimum of QR1,000, tick collars are QR180 every 2/3 months, GSD pups need feeding 3/4 times a day on a good quality dog food which will be around QR500 a month, a dog trainer will cost in the region of QR500 a month.
And then there is always the risk that your GSD will have hip dysplacia and will need medication and vet care for the rest of its life. And unfortunately with all the in-breeding in this country, it's quite common.
Thank you - that just proves my point exactly.
Must be an original not a mix????? Why?
