Few months back i bred a litter off my 2GSD. Dont worry, both of them are CC winners. Does not hold champion status due to very few shows.
I had 6 months. 3 boys, 3 girls. 5 were sold at all time record price in Sri Lanka for a country bred GSD.
1 male pup sadly made it to 12 weeks and started having problems. As i recalled, the pup was in the garden for his daily romp around when suddenly he was having a fit. We took him to the vet and treated him but sadly after a few days he lost his eye sight. Its very difficult for me to have such a dog in my kennel as it is additional expense on time and burden. its not right to give him away as i dont think anyone else will care for him. Selling is out of the question.
I was contemplating on putting him down as he will be miserable for the rest of his life and a burdern for me or his new owners.
On another note, I purchsed another male pup who is 7 month old. His testicles are completely missing, he wasnt nuetered as a pup. I dont think that i can breed him or show him thus cannot keep him in my kennel so i am planning to sell him as a pet. Woul this be the right decision.

I think it would be the right decision if you can not properly care for the blind puppy to put him to sleep. That would be the humane thing to do. As for the puppy that has no testicles I have never heard of a puppy not having at least one. Are you sure someone didn't have him neutered at a young age? If he wasn't neutered then you should take him to the vet and get the vet's opinion as to what needs to be done for the puppy and definitely not breed him. This is a trait that is passed down genetically. To sell him as a pet is a good idea and make sure the people that are buying him understand he MUST be neutered because he can come down with cancer later on due to this problem is what I have been told.
Hope this helps.

Don't kill the blind puppy--blind dogs do incredibly well! I've had quite a few blind dogs over the years, including a blind-from-birth Shepherd with epilepsy. She was the happiest dog I've ever known. I currently have a blind male Shepherd who went blind from retinal degeneration at 4 years of age. I knew he was going blind when I got him. I wish you were in the United States--it is not so hard to find good homes for blind dogs and puppies here if you have the right connections.

Stop breeding period....
Putting them both down might be the best thing for them both all things considered. A male without testicles can be a fine dog but I fear he is already in jeopardy from the sound of this post.
Stop breeding dogs. Find something else to do with your time and money.
This is just wrong.

If you find the right home for the puppy he'll do fine even blind. We had a blind Sheltie growing up and she had built in radar and got around really good. She lived to be 12 years old.

Two Moons...
Why do you always give your dumb ass opinions. You obviously must be an old man with nothing else going on in your life.
Is the SSDD = Super Stupid Dumb Dick-head? If not, it should. Thats how you act.
I haven't seen a single intelligent response from you since you joined here a year ago.

Read the original post very carefully and then tell me you think these dogs have a future. Can you read between the lines?
Melody Gray you seem to have a problem with me thats obvious, no need to be nasty.
Why don't you send Sri Lanka some money and have the dogs shipped to your home? And kill the caps, I'm not that old.
Just read the damned post again till you see what I see.
Then take a pill.
Me.!

We had a blind dog growing up and she did just fine. They adjust quite well. We kept her at home but she could play in the yard-we just made sure there wasn't anything she could get hurt on.

Right, this topic is getting out of control. Firstly, i waited 3 years to breed from them. plus i am not like any other breeder, i wait till my dog has some titles to breed from. Also, I imported these dogs at a huge expense with hope to improve the breed standard, plus they came with a show gaurantee.
Also ppl need to understand that running a kennel is a labour of love for a breed. It is not profitable. If you compared my expense to income you will ask me why do I do it.
Its a known notion that ppl who keeps dogs as a hobby like two moons do not like breeders. If it werent for breeders ppl like two moon wil have to take there interest else where.
As in any live stock breeding (human included) you will get fall outs even in natural selection like an advance species like us man.
It was once mentioned that 1 in 800 children are born with down syndrome. Does this mean that its the parents fault and that they should not have kids.
The dog with undecending testicles so not have any testicles. it was confirmed. It was never removed as we knew the breeder and it was a pick of litter from my stud dog so i followed up carefully.
By the way, shipping from Sri Lanka is not practical. Its very costly.
