Hi, I'm still researching for my first German shepherd, well first dog in fact so I'm not in a rush. I was wondering if the members here can help me detect any red flags about them or had past experience with these two different breeders.
Millview Kennels - German Shepherds for Every Reason
Summerview :: German Shepherds :: Ontario, Canada :: German Shepherd Puppies, German Shepherds, German Shephard pictures and much more!
I believe summer view breed show dogs and mill-view breeds working dogs, am I correct?
So far I'm a grade 11 high school student in Ontario and I'm looking for a German shepherd as a companion but someday I'll like to participate in dog sports such as schutzhund when I'm older. Exercising the dogs will not be a problem. Right now I have 2 acres of free space for my future dog to romp around supervised of course. I wouldn't mind having suggestions of other breeders in the Toronto area aswell just keep in mind that I'm only a high school student so I wouldn't be able to travel far.

Oh about exercising, I don't plan on just using the yard LOL that's cruel. Definitely will be going on walks and such

After looking at both sites, I would go with Summerview. Their page is much more informative, I like the looks of their dogs and pups and just by the feel of the 2 sites. Good luck wherever you decide to find your new best friend.

have you checked out carmens' dogs Carmspack?? she is in your area, I would talk to her and/or get a reference from her

By the way, I am very impressed you're researching before jumping right in!

Yes, I've visited carmspack website before but doesn't she breed for work such as tracking (argo!), or police canine? So far I'm only looking for a companion gsd in a few years and someday schutzhund and/or agility. I should PM her sometime this week

There is no difference between a good working dog and a companion. Good breeders breed for both in the dog..if you run into someone that tells you different slow up. Carmspack's dogs are excellent companion dogs. Actually, above excellent.

Not every pup in a litter of working dogs will have what it takes to make it as a police k9. Some are a little lower energy, more laid-back than the other pups, and would be better suited in an active pet home than as a police dog prospect.
