It seems that the Obamas aren’t the only newcomers to the White House buying puppies these days… Joe Biden, the VP elect has just purchased a German Shepherd puppy!
Word is that the Biden’s will bring home their new puppy in late January. And how could you resist a face like this after all:

Are you interested in buying your own German Shepherd puppy? First of all, make sure you’re dealing with a responsible breeder! At the least, their breeding dogs should have their eyes checked (CERF) and their hips x-rayed and certified by either Penn-Hip or OFA.
The American Kennel Club has lots of information about the breed. The German Shepherd Dog Club of America is also a great resource for information.
German Shephards are high energy dogs that need daily exercise and a job to do. One of the happiest GSDs I ever knew was a herding dog on a sheep farm. He had a flock to take care of and was an amazing guardian. It’s possible to have a happy German Shepherd in the middle of the city -they just need daily care and attention… like any dog
