I think before you will get a recommendation you need to tell people what your goals are with this dog. Are you looking for a pet? Working dog? Companion? Search Iowa GSD for at least one breeder that is breeding working dogs.
Personally speaking, I would have visited Holtgrew for a working dog had I known 4 years ago what I know now. |

I am looking for a pet/working dog
I have a family ranging from kids the age 15 to 4. I want a GS they can enjoy rough housing with and a loyal companion. I had a GS for 14 years, so I am familliar with the breed. I want a good breeder and I have actually seen mixed reviews on some breeders when I search for Iowa GSD. I would really like opinions from someone with experience first hand. I realize alot is on my shoulders when I look at potential breeders, but I was hoping someone could help narrow my search for me. Thanks!! |

I would strongly recommend doing an extensive search on this site and others before going to Royalair.

I am not really looking for showline for a pet. I am most looking for a true GS that wont have the health defects that come with some pups. I want a legit breeder that has REAL health guarantees and take pride in their dogs. Thanks for your help!!! |

Showline dogs do not necessarily come with health problems. They also make good loyal pets. You cannot generalize like that.
