Help finding reputable breeder by mudrun on 10 May 2012 - 23:23 |
I am looking for a red and black puppy. Primarily for a pet. I am leaning toward the German lines. I like the way they look and like they try to preserve what a GSD is suppose to act like. I am new to this so I am slightly overwhelmed trying to find a reputable breeder. It goes against everything I've known to purchase sight unseen. But I have searched the internet and there doesn't seem to be many breeders near me with what I am looking for. We are near Houston Tx. I have found some breeders but they mainly have the sable looking dogs. I am not looking for a dog for any competition just want a healthy, confident puppy. I don't mind getting a puppy shipped just want to be able to trust the breeder. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks! |

| Nobleheim German Shepherd's in Bells Texas is as honest as one can be. She is a Vet tech and breeder for over 30 years. She has some of the top west German show /working lines out their. Shirley has sold me 3 of my dog's and I love each and every one. Good luck! |

Thank you for your help. I will investigate what your recommendations have available. Does anyone have knowledge of Mittelwest? I like the look of those dogs. Have read negative and positive reviews. |

| Kim Rall of Rallhaus German Shepherds is a very nice person and she has nice dogs. I think she is near Houston, TX. |

| You should check out Aldamar German Shepherds right outside of Beaumont, TX. I made the drive and it was totally worth it. Ryan is a stand up guy that truly does it for the love of the breed and his kennel produces some incredible puppies. aldamargermanshepherds.com |

| Mudrun I have had two Mittelwest pups in obedience classes and seen one compete in an AKC conformation class. All were very beautiful and even temperament. I was exteremely fond of the one young male who took both group and private obedience classes with me. He was an amazing dog. I have never met the owners of Mittelwest, but they have a good reputation and their website is impressive. I have considered an adult female they owned but just couldnt see the cost for a dog that was out of state sight unseen though her lines, paper work, age and training were what I was looking for. Someday i would like to go up and see their operation. |

before deciding on a breeder, make sure to google the breeder name and review and also rip off....... |

| I have a Mittelwest dog. Got him as a ten week old as a pet quality, but turned out to be show quality(not my thing) and good in schH. Is eight years old now, and sweet boy.:) |

| I second the vote for Rallhaus in Houston. Also vom Tal der Schatten in DFW. And I especially second checking ripoff report. . . . |

| well, Im going to go out on a limb here and say that "sitasmom" is in your area and has the top of the top as far as German S/L goes in the U.S. You need to do the research your self and make your own decision, but if you are this close, you are a fail if you don't at least check this breeder out. jmo, Rik ps and edit to add, Shak Williams is also in this area. Small breeder, nice dogs. Strong emphasis on character. |
