Our breeder - Cripple Creek

AthenaClimbs · 11-14-2011, 01:00 PM

Hi all,
We got Athena at 9 weeks (she's now 5 months) from Cripple Creek German Shepherds in Middleburgh, NY. We saw her parents and the rest of her litter. Both parents seemed in good health, good tempered and a nice playful litter. She's now well tempered, well socialized, no health problems, etc. But again, you never know at puppyhood. The breeders were always helpful with my questions, I've called since and they were nice to talk to on the phone. They said she was half American/German and no Czech lineage. Her bloodline had GDS at Schnutzhound stage 3?!.

Has anyone heard of these breeders? I'd like to see if anyone had any experience with this breeder. They seem reputable but I'd like others to weigh in.

The name really isn't Cripple Creek is it-you're making that up...lol

Their website has zero information regarding any health checks or clearances of their breeding stock. No mention of contracts or guarantees either. No titles of any sort on any of their dogs are mentioned. Did they share information with you that is not on the website?

Is that icon ever cool- I love that icon

That's really the name, full site is cripplecreekgermanshepherds.com.

My dad got all the paperwork but there was no contract. I've spoken to them a few times and assured me if anything is wrong with her, we can bring her back. But we will never bring her back!

When you say American/German do you mean American Showlines/West German Showlines or American Showlines/German Working Lines?

I think she just meant that there isn't a whole lot of info on the website but based on your description of them, they seem like nice people. That was how I interpreted. I could be wrong though

On the topic, she's a wee older than 5 months. If there were any imminent signs of bad genetics, i.e. health problems, bad temperament, etc... they would have shown by now, right?
