I had made an inquiryto Mittelwest on another GSD breeder recommendation (who did not have dogs available). I spoke to owner Julie several times. Did not purchase a dog from her (had something else working) but for me...she answered my questions, listened to my needs was professional , responsive to my emails and phone and I would consider her for my next dog.

Just my opinion..... (there are as many good ones, but one can have a bad experience with anyone under the right circumstance)

Ciao!

I *think* GSDAlphaMom has a dog from Mittelwest? Might want to ask her.

Check with RobinHuerta. She may have some info for you. I think she's used one of their stud dogs before but you'd really have to confirm that with her.

Wow... They have A LOT of litters on the ground and planned. They're definitely no small operation.

I talked to her as well when I was looking to get a dog and she seemed very knowledgeable. I also went and looked at a very nice 4 months old (coated) female she had. I ended up not going with a dog from a breeder after all though. I've noticed they do have a lot of dogs including older puppies listed on their site.

I do not know her personally and know nothing of her, so please take that into consideration when you read my post. The only way I am familiar with her is I came across her in a Google search looking up my own breeder.

You might want to do a search for her on pedigree database for some opinions of her. I think she is talked about more over there.

What are you looking for in a puppy? Show/Breeding/Companion/Schutzhund?

Woman in our club has a SchH titled Mittlewest bitch... The dog is pretty serious minded but nice enough and fairly laid back.

Show lines aren't my thing, but she's a nice dog.

I don't know her personally and don't have one of her dogs but I've seen many, many of them at events. A dog she bred competed at the USCA Nationals and did fairly well. Not all the dogs are my type, some I really like, others I wouldn't take for free, but as far as German showlines go she is very successful and I do appreciate a breeder that is breeding from generations of their own stock and not just constantly purchasing breeding dogs and outcrossing. There are many dogs with the kennel name that have V1 and VA ratings. To many people this is not important but remember this is a show line kennel. I know she has been involved in some recent controversies and was reprimanded by WDA. Not trying to slam anyone here, this is public knowledge. Personally I shop for a dog, not a breeder so if she's got THE dog I want next time I'm in the market for a WGSL I'll take a look...JMHO
