Does anyone know of a German Shepherd breeder around the following states?

I need some good breeders to look at for a German Shepherd puppy. I will look in ...VermontMaineNew HampshireConnecticutRhode IslandNew JerseyMassachusettsPennsylvaniaNew York** I live in ConnecticutThanks to everyone so far. I will still accept answers and comments. Thanks again.

The German Shepherd Dog Club of America should be able to refer you to some.http://www.gsdca.org/base/index.php

I currently reside in the New England area (Mass) and have been involved with a breed specific GSD rescue for quite some time. I know of quite a few GSD breeders and GSD specific clubs and organizations that may be of assistance to you in New England.Contact the breed club in your state! The German Shepherd Dog Club of Greater New Haven could be a great resource to you.http://gsdcgnh.org/breeders.htmlAlso, the German Shepherd Dog Club of America and the United (GSD) Schutzhund Club of America are both very valuable.http://www.germanshepherddog.com/clubs/new_england.htmhttp://www.gsdca-wda.org/clubs.htmIf you feel that I could be of help to you and would like to contact me, feel free to send an e-mail!

Here's a brilliant idea; adopt a GSD. They are one of the most breeds in need in America. Check this out:http://www.gsrne.org/Unless of course, you are going to spend 1000's of dollars on showing your dog. Educate yourself on what backyard breeders are: if it doesn't have AKC papers then guess what? its a back yard breeder dog.Seriously, welcome to the 21st century - adopt a dog!

Consider adopting - Your costs will be lower, and these shelters do get German Shepard puppies. This group should be most helpful:http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/GSDRescue/--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------http://www.nycacc.org/This is in NYC - you can call & check what they have.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bailey, White German Shepherd, 40 + lbs,This sweetie WILL BE EUTHANIZED SOON!Shelter Staff made the following comments:MY NAME IS BAILEY.
