German Shepherd Dog Training

german shepherd montana
Looking for a german shepherd and need a little help.?

I am stationed in Great Falls Montana and I am looking to get a german shepherd in the near future. They are my favorite dogs and I would like to surprise my wife with one but I am having trouble finding one. This question is kinda only for people in the Great Falls area but if you happen to know where I can find one regardless of where you are I would appreciate the info. By the way, I’m not looking to spend like a grand so the cheaper the better, lol.

If you WANT cheap, you’re going to GET cheap. And cheap will turn into expensive FAST. As in, poor breeding, poor genetics, poor hips, poor temperaments. The need for extensive training to correct faulty temperament, a total hip replacement by the age of 3, etc….

You have two DECENT options.

1. Find a GSD rescue in your area. They are everywhere, and most actually contain beautiful, purebred dogs. Yes, you may still end up with a problem dog, but at least you aren’t lining the pockets of a BYB and encouraging the breeding of poor specimens.

2. Find a local schutzhund club, and contact them about finding breeders they recomend. Yes, you will probably look at spending about 800-1200$ for a dog, but as I stated above, you get what you pay for. You pay 1200$ now for a sound, stable, well bred working lined dog (the only REAL GSD out there), your chances of problems in the future are extremely slim. You pay 400$ for a backyard bred dog, then you will probably run in to NUMEROUS problems in the future that will cost big time.

Need help finding cheap plane ticket for me and my dog. can anyone help?

I need to get from great falls montana to dayton ohio. Just me and my full grown german shepherd. I know i need to buy my own crate for him but thats about all i know. I need to leave ASAP. cant stress that part enough. I only have about 300$ to my name. thanks for reading.
Well HA! My mom just found one from helena to dayton for 200 plus 100 for the dog. thanks for taking the time to help me out though.

This isn’t going to be the answer you want to hear, but it’s not going to happen. The cheapest one-way fare from Great Falls to Dayton is just under $550 plus tax, meaning that it would be close to $600 just for the plane ticket. If you need a round-trip ticket, those are well over $400 before tax, but those fares also require 21-day advance purchase, meaning you couldn’t buy that ticket and pay that fare for a flight sooner than that. (Even if you were wanting to travel with a week’s notice, for example, you’d still be looking at paying close to $700 for a ticket.)

Additionally, flying with a dog isn’t free — in addition to having the proper crate, you’d also need to pay the fee to the airline for transporting your dog as cargo. Those fees depend on the airline, and could be as much as $100 each way.

To do what you want to do, especially on such short notice, is going to take considerably more money than you say you have right now. The only ways I can think of to save money on a last-minute plane ticket, such as Priceline or Hotwire, aren’t advisable in this situation, because you don’t get to choose your airline, and you might get put onto an airline that has restrictions regarding your dog that you can’t meet. Again, this isn’t the answer you want to hear, but unless you can come up with more money than what you have, what you’re asking for just isn’t realistic.
