@Indos, watch this trailer of a documentary called Kedi ( which means cat in Turkish ). The film is about the cats of Istanbul.

I don't own a dog but I generally like big dogs. And if I have to choose which one to own it would be either Rottweiler or German Shepherd or Pit bull

I myself is a former owner of bullterrier. Had a couple in the past. Very difficult and stubborn dog to handle. Very strong, brave, ferocious and good fighters. Multipurpose dog but not recommended for everyone.
My first favorites are bullterrier,pitbull,dog argentino.
Then comes golden retriever,Siberian husky.

I just got myself a GSD puppy stock coat, she was around 6 weeks when i got her. Since i am a first time dog owner, i got the dog from my friend's reference who is a Vet from a breeder. She is now around 10 weeks and the only problem i am having with her is that since all of us are not around all day, she becomes too jumpy when see finally sees us. The other thing is, since we did not give her the proper training from the start, she now poops at will everywhere.

Pup seems pure, quality is average. Paw size is average, tail is average, chest is also average, muzzle seems ok. They have shown the bend/slope in the pic in standing config. I would still see the mother before buying. Its not about 35k or 40K, its more about investing time and money on the dog after you bought it. The vet bills of vaccination, anti-parvo injections, feed and diet, collar and chains, building a kennel etc.

Non peds quality vary from 30k to 65k. There non ped pups from under-age ped females too and their quality is excellent. Try from Army Dog centre if you want a good working line, you wont be able to get the dog in a show although they will give you papers. If you ask me, try and go for stock coat GSD, coat maintenance is easier. Long coat variety are beautiful in looks but a hassle to clean their coats and keep them tick free. Heat is another factor. GSDs also shed coat in different seasons. In any case the choice is yours. The long coat GSD has a lot of demand in Pakistan.

There are different temperaments of GSD pups in every litter. 1 or 2 pups are curious type, 1 is usually laid back, 1 or 2 pups want a job given to them etc. In pakistan breeders don't even know the temperaments of their own pups. They always go with the history of the parents (looks not temperament). What you want in your GSD is prey drive, otherwise tie it up with chain (in isolation sometimes) so it gets frustrated and thus aggressive. This is the wrong way to make a dog aggressive. The proper way is through using its prey drive to train it and get tasks done. All GSD have watch Dog instinct, some have naturally guarding instinct too as they will bite, but the natural watch dog/guard instinct can come up till 1.5 years or later too. In Pakistan, people want a 5 month old GSD to bark at strangers and rip them to pieces.

There should be awareness on slope also. I have seen many GSDs in Pakistan with awkward slopes and people trying to sell them at good price to get rid of them. Mostly sellers show slopes of parents or pup to buyers to generate their interest that the pup is Show class. I prefer straight backs though. Below is a long hair female GSD and this guy was selling this dog at a high price. I confronted him about the slope and showed him the fault. see where the blue lines meet, this is not the kind of slope you want in your GSD

You are right, I had booked the pup, but i was also sceptical and so I sent a friend to this guys house to see the puppy.

Report I recieved was similar to yours.
This I have cancelled the purchase.
The Army dog center seems like a very nice option.
I wonder how much they sell them for. I have never "bought" any dog.
