for all you breeders. - Page 1

I am one of the many of the thousands or at least I was of people who buy a pet dog from you, without people like me you would not be able too continue in your business or your hobby, I am sick of your arguing as too what the breed standard is, all I do know is thirty years ago the german shephered/ alsation was a far better looking dog than it is today everywhere I went I would see them now it is very rare, I have owned five over the last thirty years and loved them all and unlike you breeders have not fed them tripe as a cheap way of feeding my dogs, I bought my first one in 1980 a beautiful one from a local kennels he was probably the nicest looking one of them all, he live for 12 years, the second was from a young girl who had breed a litter he lived for 11 years, then I made the mistake of learning about the breed standard, so I went too mr brandon there was no pick of the litter he only produced one dog which I bought, on getting him home he was taken too the vets for his first injections, the vet informed me he only had one testicle, mr brandon claimed he did not know this, by three years old his teeth were yellow and at four years old he died, I again bought another dog from mr brandon, he died at seven, foolishly I again went back too mr brandon and bought another dog, again he would not let me see the litter, I have now lost that dog two weeks aged seven, I have spent hundreds of pounds trying too save my lovely pets with no result, my last dog was insured and the company are asking me for proof of purchase which I have not got, three times I have contacted mr brandon each time he has promised too send, I am still waiting, it would seem he has no idea what it is like too lose a best friend, so friends carry on arguing as I am finished with the breed, it will always be my favourite dog but there will be no more in my house as I am not putting myself through this again..

Yep thats how they are, if you can't see the litter running around the yard and around your feet pack it in. Their are way to many good GSDs around to be wasting time with nonsense. I have even tested a few and they didn't pass the smell test so you just move on. Remember one thing nobody talks about 30% Genetics 70% enviromental. You can make anything you want out of a GSD thats the beauty of em.

wow. another first time poster who comes on here to bash breeders.  imagine that. 

pjp

Is there like an extended full moon or something? Some of the weirdest posts/posters ever in the last couple days.....................

There is a difference between a breeder who "claims" to breed for standard.......than one who actually does, as well as doing all health tests, works their own dog, lets you see their litters, etc etc.   When you say Mr. Brandon......did you go back to this same breeder multiple times? Why keep going back if you keep having problems.....

 I have owned five over the last thirty years and loved them all and unlike you breeders have not fed them tripe as a cheap way of feeding my dogs,

Tripe is by far not a cheap way of feeding dogs but an excellent addition to the diet.  Breeders, owners, competitors that are serious about caring for their dogs and knowledgeable about feeding dogs will feed tripe.

Oops thanx Moons again.......SSDD............... found cold beer----any popcorn???????????

it would appear you like tripe, tripe is the cheapest way too feed an animal it contains o protein which is necessary for the building of muscle and growth and repair, its main content is water, with regard too the other two comments one beginning in wow, and the extended moon, I will not waste my time..

This could get interesting.

Nutritional value

Green tripe is highly recommended by the advocates of raw food for dogs. In an analysis of a sample of green tripe by a Woodson-Tenant Lab in Atlanta, Georgia, it was discovered that the calcium:phosphorus ratio is 1:1, the overall pH is on the acidic side which is better for digestion, protein is 15.1, fat 11.7 and it contained the essential fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic, in their recommended proportions. Also discovered was the presence of lactic acid bacteria, known as lactobacillus acidophilus, which is a beneficial intestinal bacteria and a common ingredient in probiotics
