You know this is exactly what I was going to ask as I was reading this thread...When our girl Dori had her first litter, I had been over to my Dads and been around his Shiloh SHephard and when I came back, she sniffed and sniffed all over my legs and feet and ran back to the whelping box and layed on the pups and it was ME!!! Now, whenever she has pups, she is very protective whenever strangers come to the house..she too has even nipped at two particular individuals, one my brother whom she didn't know and a 13 year old boy..now, she doesn't have a bad temperament, she just obviously fealt threatened at the time for some reason....I myself wouldn't let this situation be the determining factor on not getting one of her pups, I would be more concerned on is the pup healthy, is the sire and dam healthy. Does the breeder know anything about their pedigrees. What does the premises where they are kept look like. How knowledgeable is the breeder on this breed. Is there a contract and what does she offer on it.ect.... Good luck on this. You are so so very smart to ask questions and be cautious!
