Has anyone ever heard of this breeder? - Page 2

Guess I didn't notice that he didn't have certification or anything for his dogs. Like I said... I still have a lot to learn... :P

Oh I'm not getting a puppy lol. I was just looking at this breeders site. One German Shepherd is enough for me right now! (:

Haha. I don't think I'll ever be able to handle three at once. Maybe two! lol

kudos- K9mom
that was one of the most well written, considerate and informative posts that I have read on here in a long time. No bashing no agenda just an honest thoughtful reply.

Franquie - GSD are like potato chips

Oh and about the breeder, well I looked at their facebook page and they misspelled SHEPHERD (shepard)
so seriously come on..... (sorry thats a HUGE pet peeve for me)

I wish I could post without my name being out there.. but here it is..
California , and especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in LA , have high pay and income of its residents. The Economy being so business driven in these 2 area's allows people ( even dog dumb people) to have extra money for things they want/need. Also , there is a need over here for protection; and dogs that are already trained because these business people can't pull the time out of there butts ( hell, on average here in California people spend 15 mins a day  of quality time with there kids ). 

Vom Falconer dogs are well trained before they are sold, and its of benefit to sell dogs here in California ( where people change there minds like underwear) without there AKCs or Pink Papers - to keep from producing more dogs. I would think that all Breeders should be so smart to withhold there papers on dogs that are not intended on being bred.

I live here in California, and Von Falconer kennels is only an hour and a half away.. yet I have NEVER even seen a dog from this kennel except on his website or on a pedigree..( I think this is because they are not over-bred.)

Consider this, how much is your time worth ? Not so much how much the animal its self is worth. If you take an puppy and raise it up for Police/k9 work , do you realize that its going to cost more for the PD than it would just to buy a dog from Germany ? There are labor laws that prevent us over here from training Police dogs for free.. there was an article in the Modesto Newspaper about it ( where I am basically getting the idea from). Even if he pays less for this dog , and trains it and then re-sells the dog to the right home- don't you think he should be able to make a living ? Is it wrong to make a living anymore?

Here where I am; his puppy prices are very reasonable for the whole state of California. $1200 , and he throws in free puppy classes for his people to come back and get training.. way better than any other GSD breeder around. I hope in a few years to develop my own kennel and do the same.. or at least have puppy socials here on the weekends.

Lets not forget to scroll down to the bottom where there are rescue dogs.. hello ? Looks like he is doing his part.

"Very nice dog, 18 months old male without pedigree, very clear head, good with other dogs, kids, social, easy to be handled, some obedience training."

$8,500





... You can get a A LOT MORE DOG for that amount of money than what is stated above. Like a Sch3. IPO3, FH1, KKL1 national competitor, for example, if that is what you want to do with the dog.

Adi - If no one wants to spend that money - SO WHAT !! Here in California that dog is wanted, that is why it was imported. We need dogs here with good- no great personalites .. people here spend upward $50,000 for there imports for breeding.. its all whatever some one is willing to pay for the dog..  If you want a $500 excellent SCH dog - go buy it some where else.. I know there out there. No one has the right to demean, point fingers, or otherwise try to defame another for a reasonable price on a trained dog. Especialy when on the same page he is sending people to RESCUE to spend less money on other nice dogs !!! Get a life people.

Oh horse pucky. There's no such thing as an import dog that cost 8,500 and has no freaking papers.
