I have one litter a year with my Germ. Shep. I have a wait list for these pups before they are even born. Once they are born I start down the list and contact the people to see if they are interested in placing a deposit. From the moment the new owner's make a decision I place a colored paper collar on them. I also send weekly pictures with a sign in the photo with their name/date.
After being ripped off on my puppymill pup I am very leary also. This puppy miller obviously sells 99% of her pups on-line. Thus, she can show any parents, any pup, and in the end ship any pup. The internet has been a blessing and a horrible tragedy all in the same breath.
