Milo's Necropsy Report - Page 9

Everyone has a right to their own opinion.  She breeds the type of dog that we are looking for.  We hope to get both dogs into Therapy work and if you read her client testimonials I think it says alot about her as a person and a breeder.  I'm not interested in confirmation or the trophies so we are happy with our decision.

Thanks

Mike

CONGRATS on your new puppy! ADORABLE!

dog food, my heart puppy was walking the day after surgery, and he has amazing strenth 10 months later,  is cured as well as it doesn't have ingredients that trigger allergies, just a thought.
The dog food is very important, beware of treats.

If you want first hand info on these dogs I have "trained", handled,  and seen some of them. A lot of them.


Some are nice, some are OK and some I would not want for free... but also some of the owner were not very bright and I am not going to blame the dogs only (under-socialized, raised in pairs- littermates, not trained, not bonded to their owners, fear aggression issues, not stable in crowded environments) but again, the owners probably caused most of these issues.
Some of the dogs came to do Schutzhund and failed miserably. But the OP does not want a dog to do any work in sport so he should be fine!

A good friend of mine has a female from there, the nicest, sweetest dog ever. This dog is kinda...well not the prettiest thing but her personality makes her cute. She is really a nice girl, kinda looks like a coyote. This girl is stable and well raised. The owner did a fabulous job with her.

Good place to report GSD health history and search.

"Everyone has a right to their own opinion. She breeds the type of dog that we are looking for."

Awesome.  Thank you for your contribution to the demise of the breed.  You have, on this forum, access to the information you need to make a good decision about your next dog; you simply choose not to use it.  You may very well get a dog that lives a long and healthy life but it won't be a German Shepherd Dog; it'll be a mutt with papers.  You'd be a lot more noble to rescue a shelter dog than to pay this person to breed garbage. 

Really Keith?  That mutt might just save my life some day.

Have a great weekend!

Mike

I am sorry to hear about your loss of Milo.  I can only imagine how devastating it was for your family :(

However I am also saddened to see that a situation like this would drive a pet owner into the arms of a backyard breeder who does not seem very ethical :(  Very sad... when there are a lot of "smaller scale" GOOD breeders out there who are producing dogs who are healthy, sound and make awesome pets...  

And what Keith Grossman says "Awesome.  Thank you for your contribution to the demise of the breed.  You have, on this forum, access to the information you need to make a good decision about your next dog; you simply choose not to use it. " Is SO TRUE!  Excellent post Keith!!!

There are plenty who post here regularly who breed untitled dogs, dogs without any health checks at all including hip and elbow xrays. Even some who intentionally use dogs that can't pass OFA. IMO Mike could have done a lot worse than the  puppy he has chosen. He could have bought a dog from one of them.

Blitzen, I would not consider those you describe to be the "GOOD" responsible breeders I was referring to :(  

Demise of the German Shepherd Dog? Mike did his homework, he trusted some high advertised breeder, and he has a dead dog,  tons of Vet bills for the two dogs he bought, and a broken heart!  Unlike some of the breeders that tattoo, chip, show, trial, use magic markers and red shampoo,  the breeder he chose for his new puppy, is just a plain family hobby breeder with no marks against them, that love GSD's. That's his right,  and as I said, like glue, beat the guy up because he didn't pay $800, $1,500 $2,600 and up yet again, to some star spangled kennel,  and slammed because he didn't take advice from the know it all's, and spin the dice again, like a box a chocolates someone said, right? As the GSD dog world turns,  everyone on this thread know's the truth now!
