Looking for a breeder

meldleistikow · 12-06-2011, 09:40 AM

I am seriously (ready to send a deposit) considering buying a puppy from Vom Gildaf Shepherds. I would love it if anyone that knows Melinda and her dogs can tell me more about her and her dogs before I make my final decision.

Thanks!

I personally know Melinda and her dogs, and we do Schutzhund training together. She is an impeccable breeder and trainer.

She has beautiful dogs with very sound temperament. You will not be disappointed!

Good luck with your Gildaf puppy...you will have so much fun!!!!

You must post pictures!

Thanks for the input. She has already been very informative in emails and her dogs all seem great, but when you are dealing with such a big commitment, you want to make sure that I get as much information as possible.

I know Melinda! I bought a puppy (Blaise) from her in 2008 and I also bought a female from her in 2010 (Gitana vom Stepenitztal "Sadie"). I have kept in contact with her since 2008 and I have only good things to say about her. She is such a nice person, very helpful and cares so much about her dogs and puppies. If you get a puppy from her you won't be disappointed!!!!

Melinda stands behind her pups for life. You won't find a better breeder out there in my opinion. Like Hillary & VH said you won't be disappointed!

I've never met her or looked at her dogs, but I know that you won't find a negative thing about her on these forums. She comes highly recommended.

Yep I wouldn't be afraid to purchase a pup from her. She takes a lot of pride in what she breeds

I am also getting a pup from her in 2012. I haven't been able to personally meet her or her dogs, but do feel very comfortable getting a pup from her.

Melinda is a good friend AND a good breeder!
She takes pride in her dogs, and loves what she does.
I would always recommend her!
